Lee Would Goode's papers happen to mention the daughters of John Allen Sr. & Nancy Daniels. His land grant mentions 2 daughters I can't find any information on Ann Collins & Kesiah Tiller. As their daughter Hannah Allen married Jesse Blankenship are my Great Great-Grandparents. Thanks Sylvia Acord-Bragg

Do you have any more information on Doris Dunnegan. I have Lusk and Dunnigans in my line. Strangely though the Mother of my great grandmother, Jeanette Brown was a daughter to Amanda Priscilla Lusk. who married William Jasper Brown. Jeanette married William Riley Dunnigan. This was much later than your info. Late 1800's and early 1900's The furthest I've traced my Dunnigans was 1850 in Surry Co NC.

Becky, the following is an excerpt of the first grand jury activity as written by Goode. The first term of the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery was held in the house of John Cook Esq. on Tuesday the 16th day of April 1850. The first Grand Jury in Wyoming County received it�s charge, retired and after due deliberation returned the following eight indictments: Indictment against: 1. Henry McMillon breech of the peace 2. Geo. W. Elswick 3. Saul Mullens and Jincy Young co-habitation 4. Wm. S__?__ and Clarissa Kales co-habitation 5. Wm. K. Mullens and Sally Stanley co-habitation

Hi Dorna, I have found nothing further on Dunnegan at this time. Little more than half way through Goodes Ledger. Maybe something will come up later Lee

Becky, I will have to take another look at your quest for Collins. Here is something that may be of interest that Goode wrote. William Riffe moved to the Buffalo Settlement. He was born in 1803 in Tazwell County. He married Sarah Trent of Russell County and came to Little Huff Creek in 1844. Their children were five boys and eight girls: (1) Dicey married Marshall Roberts and settled in McDowell County. (2) Lewis Riffe married Margaret Collins. (3) Polly married John Collins. (4) Sookie married Benj. Collins. (5) William Riffe Jr. married Sarah Beverly and settled on Wild Cat of Huff Creek. (6) Betsey married John Gibson and lived in McDowell County. (7) John Riffe married Pricy Wilson and settled Muzzel Creek of Little Huff. (8) Margaret married Jacob Puckett and settled on Dry Fork of Tug River. (9) Sarah married Monterville Blankenship and settled on Dry Fork. (10) H.F. Riffe married Nancy Asbury and settled on Muzzle Creek. (11) Cloe married Willis Blankenship and settled on Knox Creek in Buchanan County, Virginia. (12) Fred Riffe married Elinora Davis and settled on Muzzle Creek. (12) Nancy Riffe never married.

More tid-bits on the Lusk family. Rev. Goode writes, in part: It seems that the Lusks came from England and first settled in North Carolina. There, William Lusk was born about 1770 and married Dorcas Dunnegan. Some years after the Revolutionary War, Wm. Lester moved west to get where game was more plentiful. He had two daughters and one son. It seems that his wife had died before he moved in this direction, and while in crossing the New River, one of his daughters, Dorcus by name, drowned,. It is not known what became of the other daughters. Joseph, his son, came with his father to into Wyoming County. Joseph married Dicey Bailey, a daughter of Archibald Bailey

Lee, What case was this grand jury handling that resulted in eight inditments? What yr. was this? Am trying to find info on a John Collins who served time in Moundsville. Tks. Becky
