You are probably aware that West Virginia was not a state in 1855. Thus the records dating back to that time are not all conveniently located in the county where the family lived. Do you happen to have any other information that may be helpful such as: the area or town of residence, burial location, church name or location. Any little tidbit may be very helpful. Thank you. Please let me know. Sue
