Ringer Cupp.
Delores:
Maybe there's a missing piece to your puzzle. I have Elias S.
Gooding, born
about 1827 - d. 1 Mar. 1910 of cancer, m. #1 Mary J. Fickey.
m. #2, 5 Dec. 1887
in Garrett County, Md. to Christine Ringer Cupp, b. 26 June
1849, d. 26 Aug.
1931.
Children of the first marriage, as I have them:
Rosanna
William Cable, 1853-1905 m. Mary Hardesty Collins*
James M.
John Wesley
Ulysses
Mary C.
Elias
ref: 1850 Preston County, WV Census.
Elias was in Co. O, 6th WV in the CW
*Mary's first husband, a John Collins, left her almost as soon
as they were
married for another woman, she said. She obtained a divorce
to marry Gooding.
Can anyone tell me which of the many John Collinses in
Preston/Garrett this was?
That's all of the responses I have time for tonight. Back to
the manuscript.
