For your information, the List Serve (Mailing List) will be discontinued. See below. Rootsweb Mailing Lists information The below email was received today just moments ago. I am posting this to our Announcement list because this is a huge issue for many and also. Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community.

The Family Search website lists a contributed bit that is inaccurate (not that that should be a surprise). Arthur T. WALSTON's 2nd Wife was Barbara Adaline STRADER. But his first wife is given as Hannah E. That is in error. Here's where, I am sure, they get Hannah E. from: The marriage of the Arthur's 1855-born daughter, Margaret J. WALTON, lists the parents in the handwritten document as Arthur T. & Sarah E. However, the "&" looks more like the plus sign most of us scribble. So it's +Sarah E. That looks, on a cursory glance, like Hanah E. But examining the surroundings, it becomes obvious it is Sarah E. All of this being said: Can you help me figure out who Sarah E. was? Dates? Any readily accessible documents? Thanks, Vince Summers
Mary Collett (B: 8 Sep 1779 [Augusta Co, VA (now Pendleton Co,WV) D: 31 Mat 1834 Beverly, Randolph Co, (W)VA] a daughter of Thomas Collett Sr and Margaret Barlett or Clifton married 1797 (W)VA Edmond Mick (B: abt 1760/1775 D: 1815 Pendleton Co, (W)VA Son of Mathias Mick Sr and Lavina Van De Venter according to many sources. And she is reported to have married Edmund (Wiatt) Wyatt [B: abt 1760/1768 Augusta Co, VA (now Pendleton Co, (W)VA D: 1843 Beverly, Randolph Co, (W)VA] son of John (Wiatt) Wyatt and Jane Stains. There are about 60 Family Trees on Ancestry.Com showing her as the wife of Edmond Mick. Also found in the book, "The Mick Family of West Virginia" by R. R. Romine. 1989. Her marriage given by Oren F Morton in his 'A History of Pendleton Co, WV', 1995 C J Carrier Co, Harrisonburg, VA pg 259. A number of sources show their children to be: MATHIAS4 MICK, B: 20 Jun 1796 (computed) Pendleton Co. VA; D: January 13, 1857, VA. CHARLES MARION (AKA Charles C) MICK, B: December 25, 1800, Pendleton Co. VA; D: January 08, 1879, Upshur Co. Mathias Mick's death record shows his parents as Mathas Mick and Lucinda. A Mathas Mick is shown in the History of Pendleton Co by Morton to have married a Lucinda Lucy Powers. No additional info on Edmond in the History of Pendleton Co. However, in the "History of Upshur County, West Virginia by W B Cutright reprinted in 1977; under the entry for Worth S Mick, page 519, states, "Charles C Mick and brother, Matthias, emigrated from Pendleton County to this County many years ago, settling on the Waters of Turkey Run, where their descendant now lives." Both Charles and Mathias are in the 1850 census of Lewis Co, (W)VA; Mathias is listed in the 1820, 1830 census of Pendleton Co; and the 1840 census of Lewis Co. Charles is listed in the 1830 census of Pendleton Co and 1840 census of Lewis Co; and the 1860 and 1870 census of Upshur Co. Logic would say that if Charles and Mathias were brothers, then both would be sons of Mathias Mick and Lucinda Powers. Some Family Trees do show both as sons of Mathias Mick and Lucinda Powers; and some show then as sons of Edmund Mick and Mary Collett. Interesting that Edmond Mick does not shown up in any census listing that I could find; and no marriage record or death record. So the question is - what is correct? There are over 200 Family Trees showing her married to Edmund Wyatt. No marriage record. From another unknown source: Edmund was listed in the Muster Rolls of the Pendleton Militia on 6 September, 1794. In Hardesty's History of Barbour Co, page 237, Mary Thompson, wife of Major David Thompson and daughter of Edmund and Mary Wyatt, states that her father, Edmund, served under General Morgan in putting down the Whisky Rebellion in Pennsylvania, and afterward enlisted under General 'Mad' Anthony Wayne and was with him in the battles against the Indians in Ohio.When the Indians were defeated there, it ended the Indian raids into West Virginia. On 23 Feb 1807 Edmund and Mary purchased one-half of the Old Wilson Homestead near Beverly. The Wilson Fort was located on the land. >From an unknown source: John Wyatt JOHN SKIDMORE AND HIS COMPANIES AT THE BATTLE OF POINT PLEASANT IN 1774, AND AT FORT HINCKEL IN JUNE 1775. http://www.skidmoregenealogy.com /images/OccPap_no._34_20080907_John_and_his_companies.pdf John Wyat. He was paid £16.7sh.6d for 131 days. John Wyat was a Pendleton County man with probable roots in what is now Greene (then Orange) County, Virginia. In October 1762 "John Wyatt apprenticed himself to James Griffin to learn the mystery of a cooper, from now until he arrives at the age of 21." He was probably then about the age of 14, but was another man in Captain Skidmore's company who did not survive to old age. He was dead before January 1790 in Pendleton County when his son John Wyat [Junior], called "a poor boy" was bound to James Patterson by the Overseers of the Poor. Samuel Wyat, John's younger brother, had Thomas Collett appointed as his guardian in September 1794, and their brother Edmond Wyatt later married Collett's daughter Mary. In 1806 Edmond, William, John and Samuel were named as plaintiffs in a land title dispute where they were identified as the sons of John Wiat , deceased. >From Pendleton County (West) Virginia Deedbook Records, 1788-1813 by Rick Toothman, Hertiage Books, Inc. "Pg 80: 7 April 1801. Edmond and Mary Wiatt to John Cool, Franklin. 140 acres in Buffalo Hills, adjoining Richards, Skidmore, Jacob Conrad, Robert Phares, and Collet; purchased by Wiatt from Thomas Cook. Consideration: £120, VA. Signed Edmond Wiatt, Mary [M] Wiatt. Witnesses: A Smith, James Smith, John Painter. Acknowledged in court by both, 7 July 1801. No delivery shown. Recorded: 3:256-257." >From the above is clear, I believe, that Edmund Wyatt did marry Mary Collett; when? several source give 1797 as the date, which is the same date as her marriage to Edmond Mick. Find-A-Grace Memorial# 133487163 and 38835682 for Edmund Wyatt and Mary Collett Wyatt shows them buried in Arnolds Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia. No stone for Edmund and assumed that he was buried with his wife, and another unknown source indicated that they both were there when the cemetery inventory was made by WPA in the 1930's. In reviewing the many Family Trees none provided any documentation for marriage. Edmund Wyatt is list in the 1820, 1830 and 1840 census of Randolph Co, (W) None of the Family Trees reviewed addressed this conflict.

Hi Friends, Seeking Armstrong DNA (direct male descendants) from Augusta, Pendleton, Highland, Loudoun, Upshur counties in VA, Knox county in TN, Abbeville Co, SC, and New Castle Co, DE with the goal of sorting out the Armstrong families that descend from these families: Lt. John Armstrong (my husband's 5th great grandfather) Birth 1759 in Augusta Co., Virginia Death 7 Aug 1821 in Pendleton Co., Virginia On ancestry: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15365304/person/1349307725 William Armstrong Jr. (brother of John) Birth 12 Dec 1759 in Virginia Death 1823-1834 in Pendleton County, Virginia On ancestry: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15365304/person/1349312265 William Armstrong Sr. (father of John and Wm Jr.) On ancestry: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15365304/person/28047148904 Note: Most trees on ancestry list: Lt. Robert Armstrong II Birth 1731 in Ulster, Antrim, Ireland Death 1796 in Knoxville, Knox, Tennessee as the father of John Armstrong and William Armstrong Jr. by an earlier marriage to Jane Van Arsdale but no proof of this has ever surfaced. I believe if there was a marriage to Jane, it was a different Robert. I don't believe Lt. Robert Armstrong was the father of John Armstrong and William Armstrong Jr. See Robert II on ancestry: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15365304/person/1349310478 I also don't believe his father: Robert Armstrong I Birth abt. 1700 in Ulster, County Antrim, Ireland Death 12 Nov 1754 in Augusta Co., Virginia http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15365304/person/1349312255 is directly connected to John, Wm Sr and Wm Jr. either although the two Roberts may be collaterally related to John, Wm. Sr. and Wm. Jr. I want to publically thank Steven Zuraff that I met through these lists, who generously shared and documented all his research and records here: https://sites.google.com/site/sjzscertainfolksandevents/armstrongs-of-the-up per-bullpasture After studying all this, I'm totally convinced that William Armstrong Sr. was the father of Wm Jr. and John Armstrong. I would however like to back this up with DNA which would benefit a lot of people since Armstrong descendants from both families are numerous. What I have to date for comparison is my husband, descendant of John Armstrong tested to 111 markers + family finder via FTDNA and his Y-results are part of the Armstrong project here: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/armstrong/ If you click on Y-DNA results you can see a lot of Armstrongs have tested. Unfortunately I don't know if anyone on this page are known descendants of either of these lines. My husband's closest match 106/111 was to a descendant of Archibald Armstrong in Delaware that died in 1775 but I haven't been able to connect them to the Pendleton Co. Armstrongs yet but it would be a logical migration from DE to Loudoun Co. where William Sr. and sons lived before moving on to Augusta and finally Pendleton Co.(Highland). There is one DNA pending from a descendant of William Jr. that hopefully will show relationship to my husband to help confirm that Wm Jr. and John Armstrong were the same line but it may not given they are 6th cousins 1x removed. I got a few emails expressing interest from several more possibles but to my knowledge none of them have tested still so.. still seeking Armstrong males for comparison. I am also working with a genetic genealogist. If we can find any Armstrong male descendants of Robert I and Robert II, we may be able to separate out these two families from Wm., John, and Wm Jr. If you know any Armstrong males that have tested or are willing, would love to hear from you.

Hi Dianne, I found the following in a book I'm currently researching. It mentions John and William Armstrong. I don't know if they are the same ones you mentioned in your email. The History of Upshur County West Virginia >From its Earliest Exploration and Settlement to the Present Time by W. B. Cutright Buckhannon, W. Va., July 1, 1907 Pages 388-389 DAVID NEESON ARMSTRONG was born May 20, 1851, at Frenchton, Upshur County, W. Va. His father was John Wilson Armstrong, who was captured with the Upshur County Militia at Centerville, September 12, 1863, and died in Andersonville, Ga., in August, 1864. His grandfather was John Armstrong, who immigrated to Upshur County from Highland County, Va. His great grandfather was William Armstrong, Jr., and his great, great grand father was William Armstrong, Sr., who immigrated to the U. S. A. from Wales in an early day. John W. Armstrong, the father of David N. Armstrong, was born February 2, 1820, in Highland County, Va., and married Sarah Talbot, daughter of Samuel T. Talbot, of now Upshur County, W. Va., December 14, 1843, by the Rev. Gideon Martin. They had ten children; Granville B., who was captured with the Upshur County Militia and died at Andersonville, Ga., June 10, 1864; Sarah J. wife of David P. Riffle; George W., dead; David N.; Mary L., wife of L. B. Simons; Garlin T., married Arminta S. Wilson; Margaret B., wife of W. W. Hull; John Q., married Clara Phillips; Lyda S., married Rispah Wilson; Ella G., wife of C. C. Page. David N. Armstrong married Dora M. Simmons, September 10, 1885, of this union one child was born, Reta Cloe. Dora M. (Simmons) Armstrong, was the daughter of Emanuel Simmons, who was captured with the Upshur County Militia and died in Andersonville, Ga., August 10, 1864. David N. Armstrong was educated in the common schools of Upshur County, and at the French Creek Academy. He taught in the common schools of the county for twenty years. His mother was left a widow when he was twelve years old, with a family of small children and by his industry and frugality he reared the family. He now owns the farm on which he was born, upon which is a beautiful residence over-looking Frenchton Station, on the placid waters of French Creek. He is one of the substantial citizens and farmers of Upshur County.

Hi Friends, My husband descends from John Morgan Armstrong: Birth 1759 in Augusta Co., Virginia Death 7 Aug 1821 in Pendleton Co., Virginia John Morgan Armstrong had a brother, William Armstrong, some of who's descendants went to Upshur Co. and are believed to still be in the area. Would love to find them, especially a person named Richard Armstrong that has done a lot of research on this line I am told but I don't know where he lives or how to reach him. It's a great controversy who was John and Williams father. One camp is adamant that it was Lt. Robert Armstrong II that migrated on to Knoxville, TN and died there. I had a genetic genealogist take a look and she does not believe that is the correct father after reviewing DNA and the paper trail I have. The other camp believes William's father was another William. I am inclined to agree. Hoping to find an Armstrong male from Williams line that has DNA tested to compare to my husbands to confirm the same line but also to compare notes. My husband matches most closely the Gaelic Group on the Armstrong project. John Morgan's page is here on ancestry: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15365304/person/1349307725 I have a rock solid paper trail from John Morgan to my husband but I don't have it all confirmed past John yet, just theories. Hoping to locate any descendants of Williams to compare info. Dianne di@montanapets.org
Recently I was reading an old article in the Washington Post from Sunday, June 10, 2012, "DNA study sheds light on an Appalachian genealogy mystery" Below are two URLs that have that article - thought some might be interested. http://blueridgecountry.com/archive/editors-column/melungeon-associated-press/ http://www.ancestrygeneology.com/2012/05/
In doing research on Charles Queen and his children I have checked to see what others have as the birth location. I have found that some show Gnatty Creek, Harrison or Barbour Co. The Queen Family History may have misled folks in the way Stephen Post Queen's wording: " so the son, CHARLES QUEEN, JR., returned to America in or near the year (1770), and took possession of the old homestead on Gnatty Creek at the mouth of Peel tree [Note: Deed in Harrison Co, (W)VA dated 15 April 1799, page 88. William & Mary Haymond, of Harrison Co, Virginia to Charles Queen, of same, for $90.00, 90 acres ...Rooting Creek...corner to Joseph Jenkins. Signed William Haymond and Mary Haymond. Recorded April 1799. This is the first recorded deed for a Queen obtaing property in Harrison Co, (W)VA]. " The birth date for Charles has been estimated at about 1752. The problem is that in 1752 the area of Gnatty Creek was unsettled, and no names had been assigned to anything. The Pringle brothers came to the area near what is now Buckhannon in 1761, and from other research no one was living in the area at the time. If Charles was born in the area it would have been West Augusta Co, Virginia Colony. As to his children's births. Charles Queen appears in the Hamshpire Co Tax Index for 1782 (used for the census), it is my opinion that all of the children were born in Hamshire Co except Cornelius Queen. At the time Charles Queen purchased the "HOME PLACE" he came from Maryland, therefore none of Charles' children were born in Harrison Co, VA (now WV). Cornelius Queen presents a problem in that his death record states that he was born in Monongalia Co, VA and was the son of James and Peggy Queen - he may not be a son of Charles Queen. The 1800 Census for Marylard shows: QUEEN AMSTEAD MD ALLEGANY GLADE 1800 1 male and 3 females QUEEN CHARLES MD ALLEGANY GLADE 1800 4 male and 4 females

Does anyone have an Index of the Book??? It could be helpful to connect other Upshur County Surnames. If so, and if it is ok, please post to the Webpage... Thank you, Don Researching Lewis, Forinash, Alexander, Carter, Johnson {Elijah}& Cunningham In or Around UPSHUR County, VA/WV.
Hello Folks, This post is in reference to the book titled "Our Tenney Family of Upshur County, West Virginia" written by Patty Webb Eubanks. Can someone who has the book do a look-up and possibly copy the pages (for my use only) that pertains to the part of the family I'm related to? I've been trying to get my hands on this book for a long while and I haven't been able to visit the libraries that holds a copy. I'm not expecting to have this done for free, I'll be glad to reimburse the cost. Regards, Theresa _TRbonetti1@aol.com_ (mailto:TRbonetti1@aol.com)
Craig, I've got lots of info on William and Emily, would like to hear from you. Please email me at kraefleming@yahoo.com. William's brother was my husband's ggrandfather. ________________________________ From: Craig Beeman <omb@ponyexpress.net> To: wvupshur-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:07 PM Subject: [WVUPSHUR] FLEMING Family of Upshur Co., WV "Hello again Fellow Family Researchers and possible Cousins!" Might there be anyone amongst you who share an interest in the FLEMING family of Upshur Co., WV? I am trying to compile as complete an accounting down through the 1930 census as I might be able for the descendants of William FLEMING and his wife, Emily E. WILSON, as part of my attempt to make as complete an accounting as I might be able for my late wife's McAVOY family. I won't list any of the questions that I have for the FLEMING family here, but should any of you either be in a possible position to be of help to me, or should any of you have questions for me, I will indeed be far more specific than I have been here.
