George Washington Carper, son of Joseph W Carper 1802-1880 and Virginia Jane
Shumate 1809-1891, was born 1831 and died 1910 in Oregon. He was a minister.
He married 1st 29 Nov 1849 Fayette Co., VA (now WV) Delilah Fielden Phipps b.
1833 Fayette Co., VA.
George W Carper moved from Whitestick, Raleigh Co., WV to Oregon about 1890.
He came back for a visit in the fall 1894. He had 10 children but I don't
know any of their names except one. Second wife of G W Carper was Caroline
Griffith.
Child of G W Carper and Delilah Fielden Phipps was Julia Carper that married
William Sanner son of John Scanner. Child of William and Julia Carper Sanner
was Letha A Sanner who on 2 Oct 1897 married Boyd C Carper.
Hope this helps in some way.
