Dear Listers:
Looking for the above man but not sure what county he may have resided in
before coming to WV. He was born in or about 1815 (1850 census says 1818--all
other census say 1815) and married Mary Susan Woody, ca. 1835. By 1840, they
might have had two children: Mary E, born ca. 1837 and William, born ca. 1839.
Mary Susan was born on 2/26/1819, also in a Virginia county unknown--but
possibly Buckingham County (where her brother states he was born just a few
years after Mary Susan).
I found this family (along with Mary's brother, John), in the 1850 (for
Lewis Co., VA/WV), 1860 (Upshur Co., WV), 1870 (He in Lewis County/she in Upshur
County) and 1880 (he in Lewis County/she in Upshur County) censuses for WV.
Thank you so much in advance.
Sincerely, Tina
