Hope it's of interest to someone. Pat Pulasky ------------------------------------------ VINCENT SANDY Born ca 1800 in Virginia (WV?) Son of Vincent and Mila (Malinda?) Sandy (Related to Rockingham Sandy Family?) Died 9th August, 1853, Tyler County, WV Married Mary Beaty 1st January, 1828 in Marion County, WV (which was then Monongalia County, VA) Mary was born either 1809 or 18th March, 1812 in Marion County, (If 1812, was a twin to brother Alexander) Daughter of Alexander and Mary Carter Beaty of Mannington, WV Mary Sandy died 19th May, 1885 in Tyler County, WV Children (From 1850 Tyler County Census) Dau....Jane (Knight), age 21 Son....William, age 18 Dau....Mary, age 17 Son....James, age 15 Dau....Sarah (Kinney), age 10 Dau....Matilda or Malinda (Castlow), age 8 Son....John, age 5 Dau....Susan, age 3 NOTES: In the 1810 Harrison County, VA/WV census, a Vincent Alexander was listed. He died in Harrison County, ca 1817. His wife signed her name as Malinda Sandy, so the Alexander surname was most likely an error. This was probably the family of Vincent, ca 1800. Vincent (ca 1800) was sometimes referred to as Vincent A. Sandy, so perhaps the middle initial "A" was for Alexander. From History of Tyler County, West Virginia to 1984: "Vincent W. Sandy was born in 1800, his wife Mary, 1809. They owned 100 acres on McElroy Branch, later named Sandy's Run. Vincent died in 1853 and Mary in 1885. Their children were Joseph, Sarah, George, James and William (according to census data, there were also Jane, Mary, Matilda, John and Susan.)....Their son, William and wife, Rebecca, built a log house of quite large dimensions for those days. A school house was built by the Sandys at a point where Doddridge County joined Tyler County and a small stream emptied into Sandy's Run, bordered by the road which was the shortest route leading to West Union and the railroad, a matter of eight miles. A family cemetery was on the hill above the school. The acreage grew to 500, and reached into Doddridge County." From Sims Index of WV Land Grants: "In 1841, 90 acres on McElroy Fork were granted to Vincent Sandy; In 1846, 200 acres on Middle Island Creek were granted to Vincent A. Sandy." In Tyler County, a Thomas Sandy also showed up in later census. Looks as though Thomas might be a brother or a cousin to Vincent. Were one, or both, born in Marion County? Both Thomas and Vincent had a son, John, born in 1845. ----------------------------------------------------

Margaret (Maggie) Ward died 25 Feb 1896 in Sisterville WV. I am trying to find more information about her--such as might be in an obit of that time--to see if she could be the Maggie Ward of Toronto Ohio who was my grandmother. Appreciate any help. Jack Ward jackw1@flash.net

Thanks Deanna, Lindsay was born in 1852 and died around 1895(the death date is a guess according to information from my Aunt.) This would make his death age around 45years. Reason is still unknown and burial site is still unknown at this time. Do you know where I might find information after 1881? Thank you so much for you help in helping to narrow down the years if its true. Thanks, Faith A. Van Schaik

Hi, I tried searching the site, and got a lot of information I'd missed before when searching by surname. Susie Subject: Great site www.usgenweb.com 'STATE ARCHIVES SEARCH ENGINE. Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 18:13:29 -0400 From: hermfagley@juno.com To: PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com I was just directed to www.usgenweb.com and on the opening screen,without scrolling, I selected 'STATE ARCHIVES SEARCH ENGINE" and arriving there ,I CLICKED at STATE [OHIO for me] and in the blank above,I typed CLERMONT and found Herry howe's " History of Ohio's" Clermont section,in 5 or more sections. I'll bet both Vols of Howe's history are there. I see likemyboat@aol.com has a MCMANN will in Clermont posted and Asheil Page's will. Hartman and Ivin's who witnessed it . I like to repost this kind of data back to the counties,but this is copyrighted,so you must go yourself. Use some imagination what to search for. What did I search for to find the ADAMS cO CEMETARY list? Anyway,it's there,and maybe it's searchable on-line, but I downloaded it in .txt format,and will use my computer's search engine to hunt names,or cemetay's. JAYBIRD'S is there full of cousins. If you "take' or learn data from a source like this,consider also being a 'giver" by up-loading data that you have of interest. Maybe you can't post back to ,say, Ohio chermont, but you could post to FL TAMPA,or whatever you have. likemyboat@aol.com, in what format, and how,did you post your wills.

In my research, I can't seem to find a Bascomb living in WV in the early 1800's, except for my Martha Bascomb (1780 Va.-1854Tyler Co. (W)VA) who married Robert Covalt. Robert's brother James Covalt married Rebecca Bascomb. Martha's father is suppose to be James Bascomb. I can find plenty in Va, Carolina, and other "southern" states, but none on the Ohio River in WV. Does anyone have a Bascomb? Could you hear the hope in my plea? Susie

Greetings I have a copy of a death notice saying that Margaret S Ward of Toronto Ohio died in Sisterville 25 Feb 1896 at age 24 of typhoid fever. I suspect this could be my grandmother, Maggie S Rex but need more information to be sure. I would really appreciate help. It may be that an obituary was written for this lady in a local newspaper at that time and perhaps someone there can find it for me. Thanks in advance. Jack Ward jackw1@flash.net

Thought this might be of interest. I had some fun with it this morning. Christina HAVE YOU TRIED GENSEEKER, the new search engine that accesses almost all sites at RootsWeb and many genealogical sites elsewhere on the Web? These searches are more than three times faster than they were before we upgraded the CPU and disk subsystem. Access GenSeeker at <http://seeker.rootsweb.com/>. The amount of material accessed by GenSeeker is huge and will grow quickly as this search engine indexes an ever-increasing number of Web sites. Use GenSeeker often to find new items of interest. GenSeeker is a good example of your contributions at work to make free genealogical data accessible on the Web.

In a reply I recieved yesterday Birth Book 1 page 16 1856 You found Charles Forrester b: 23 Oct of John and Barbara Forrester (Mechanic) Is (Mechanic) the maiden name or profession??

Death was in Tyler Co. WV The family was living in Tyler Co in 1876 according to death report of son Joseph in Tyler Co death records. He was 10. Lots more questions but better see if you have access to information before I take any more of your time. BTW are you researching FORRESTERS or just look-ups? Thanks VERY much for all your time and patience. Donna
