Does anyone know if Thomas Charlton and his family of Shenandoah, VA migrated to (Hardy or Mineral County) West Virginia or stayed in Virginia? I do not know his wife's name but they had several children, one daughter was named Martha Charlton (my great great grandmother). Also I would like to know what the other children's names were. Does anyone have access to the census' in 1830 through 1850 for this area to see if Martha's parents were still in Virginia?
I am not sure if they lived in Shenandoah County or if the town was named Shenandoah. I have very little information on the Charlton side of our family.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply to my query. I am not familiar with the names or with Shenadoah County, Va. I don't have anything on an Eleanor Charlton from that county at all, but I know there are descendants in Montgomery Co. Va..Also my line is a Thomas Charlton who settled in Monroe Co. W.Va. If you would care to investigate further there probably is a connection. The Andrew/Eleanor that I have are in Monroe Co. and some in Greenbriar Co. both in W.Va.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but if I can please feel free to contact me. Mary

Can you tell me if Eleanor Charlton had realatives originally from Shenandoah County, VA? Do you have a Martha Charlton in your family of Charlton's? Her father was Thomas Charlton and she married Samuel Foster and moved to Hardy County, Va now WV.
I'll try this one more time in hopes someone new has joined this list. John
Charlton, son of William and Sarah (Webb?) Charlton moved from Pennsylvania
to Stark Co., OH before 1833 as he married Mary Ann Gibson on 19 December
1833 in Stark Co., OH.
I'm looking for anyone researching this line. I'd like to know more about
his parents and just where in Pennsylvania they were from.
Thanks,
Joyce Wilson

In response to Kathi Charlton Taylor, sorry it took me so long to respond. I haven't checked the boards in a while. Please send me a message at rtstcr(a)goes.com, and we can discuss further. We are definitely related, and I remember Uncle Clarence (what my grandmother Olive Reeves called him). I'm just wondering what was your father and mother's names?

I am also researching the Charlton name. I have only information on our
Charlton's here in the states that were from Shenandoah (County?) VA and
then Hardy County WV. Thomas Charlton was the father of Martha( born about
1807) who married Samuel Foster in Shenandoah, Va July 09, 1825. Samuel and
Martha had 10 children but I have only 9 names:
1. William Hampton (B. abt. 1830) 2. Julia Ann (B. abt. 1834); 3.
Martha (B. abt. 1835);
4. Sarah C. (maybe nicknamed Callie?)(B. about 1838); 5. Wesley Thomas
(B. abt. 1840);
6. Samuel Z.(B. abt. 1846); 7. Charles L. (B. abt. 1853); 8. Susan
M. Born February 25, 1854 in Moorefield, VA now WV.; 9. Apoline (B. abt.
1843).
Most of this information was given to me by Mrs. Hudock as she is related to
this line. My sister and I went to WV and also did research on the census
years from 1850 to 1870.
Do any of these names fit in with your Charlton's?

Hi all! Looking for a Sarah Charlton who married John Painter. Sarah Charlton can also be found as Sallie or Maria Sarah. Last name also found as Sharlton. They were married in Pa, and made their homes there until their death, mother died 1872 and the father in 1881. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I am researching the Painters, but there are SO many John Painters, I can't keep them straight. I thought it would make sense to start looking from the Charlton side. Thanks!

Good news...October is now Family History Month!
I thought I'd pass along this article from the Ancestry Daily Newsletter,
which includes helpful suggestions on ways to observe Family History Month.
They say genealogy is the second most popular pastime -- second only to
gardening -- so let's all do our part to "spread the [gen] bug"!

"Family History Month: It's Official!"
by Juliana Smith
As most of you have probably heard by now, on 26 September Senator Orrin
Hatch (R-UT) passed legislation that officially commemorates October 2001 as
Family History Month. The legislation had 84 co-sponsors and was approved by
unanimous consent. It is thrilling to see our representatives recognizing the
importance of preserving our heritage and connecting with our roots. So now
that we have official recognition for Family History Month, what can we do to
commemorate it?
Spread the Bug
One of the greatest joys of family history for me is being able to share
information with my family. I'm a second-generation genealogist and since the
environment I grew up in was "family history oriented," it is not surprising
that my sisters and I all carry this interest. (In my case, maybe "obsessive
compulsion" is a more appropriate word for it!) My mother had a microfilm
reader in the basement when I was young, and I can remember us taking turns
double-checking the rolls of census microfilm, looking for our surnames. It
was like a game to us and we often fought over our time on the reader. It's
possible the 25 cents that Mom offered for every relative located was also
part of the incentive, but regardless of what drew us in, it worked!
My dad has also now joined the ranks and has been working with a charting
program to create ancestral and descendancy charts for his brother and
sister. We're also doing a bit of work on his lines and were excited to find
his grandfather's name on a ship manifest on the Ellis Island Records site.
In our house, I have also been hard at work. I show my daughter pictures of
ancestors and tell her stories about the people in them. Now when she goes to
visit my mother, "Nana," she can pick out many of the people in the
photographs on her walls. (Talk about your proud Nana!) My hubby has also
taken an interest and when his grandfather passed away, he came home from the
funeral with a package of charts and forms on his family lines that his
brother-in-law had copied for him. He may not realize it yet, but he is about
to be enlisted in that search too.
What I'm getting at with all this, is that the "genealogy bug" can be very
contagious, and the more family members you can "infect," the more people you
will have to collaborate and share with. But it's not always easy to get them
interested. Nothing will send some people running for the door faster than a
genealogist with arms full of forms with names and dates. I've been known to
clear a room in seconds by just bringing out a notebook. Let's look at some
more effective ways to spread the genealogy bug.
--- Stories.
Every person in the family tree has a story to tell and who better to tell
that story than you, the family historian. Don't have any stories? You may
have more than you think. Take a look at the dates you have and put them in a
historical context. A marriage date of May 1865, may seem insignificant, but
when you note that this is at the close of the Civil War it is a little more
interesting. My great-grandmother, Margaret Dooner, was born in 1841 in
Ireland. Her family left Ireland in 1847 to come to the U.S. Just some boring
names and dates. But put into context, Margaret Dooner was four years old
when the Great Potato Famine hit Ireland. Her family left their home in
Ireland in 1847, the peak year of the famine.
--- Photos and Images.
As I mentioned, my daughter is interested in who the people are in all the
photographs I have around the house. With a picture, the stories can now be
connected to real people, and not just an imagined character.
Images of real documents like the handwritten Census Images Online can also
add another dimension. To me, there is still a thrill to see my family
represented in the census, and to be able to examine the state of the family
in these snapshots from the past. What were their occupations? Were the
children attending school? Were there other family members living with them?
Was the family provider steadily employed?
--- Maps.
Long-time readers know that I'm a bit of a map freak and I won't delve into
this too far except to say that they also provide an image of the places
ancestors lived, traveled, and were laid to rest. As I was browsing
Disney.com with my daughter the other day, I wanted to see what kind of
family activities they had and tried a search for genealogy. (Sorry, force of
habit!) They had a rather impressive selection of articles, including one
that talked about creating a kind of three-dimensional map where you could
place little figurines representing your ancestors in the places where they
lived. Migration routes were tracked on the map as well.
--- Other Ideas for Kids.
There are now a number of publications aimed at getting children interested
in genealogy. The National Genealogical Society, with funds from
Ancestry.com, has created a comic book called Hunting for your Heritage. In
an easy to read format, it is filled with information on how to get started
and contains great ideas like a "Heritage Party," where kids dress up like
their ancestors. The comic book can be ordered by calling the National
Genealogical Society at 1-800-473-0060, ext. 116. A single book costs $1.25
but the price per copy drops for larger orders.
In the Community
If your family is just not ready to be bitten by the genealogy bug, there are
still many more of us rabid genealogists around. Getting involved with a
local society, or helping with a transcription project online are great ways
to commemorate Family History Month.
There are any number of ways to commemorate Family History Month -- from
getting started on publishing your family history to getting others involved,
and from joining a society to volunteering to help with a society or other
related project. Getting involved is a wonderful way to connect with your
heritage. Below are some links that you may find helpful as you decide how
you want to celebrate.
