Need some help, about ready to give up.
James Pritt m Sydney McLaughlin in 1844 in Randolph Co, now WV.
It appears that Sydney is probably from the Pocahontas Co McLaughlins in the
county next door.
In Pocahontas Co history we have a John McLaughlin who married Sydney
Carpenter. Don't have the exact date but the time appears about right. This
John and Sydney Carpenter McLaughlin had a daughter named Sydney.
In 1856, widow Sydney Carpenter McLaughlin married Thomas Galford. Marriage
record says she was widow of John McLaughlin who died 10 to 12 years earlier.
Also says her parents were John and Nancy Carpenter. Thomas Galford and
Sydney then stay in Pocahontas Co.
I don't find a marriage in Pocahontas Co for the daughter Sydney McLaughlin,
so, am hoping she is the one who married James Pritt in Randolph. I find
almost no McLaughlins in Randolph Co.
Sure could use a little help here. thanks...
