Dear Jeannie and List,
At first I thought I would be able to make a great connection for you... but
it turns out only leads... I have a Sampson Zickefoose, b 15 Aug 1792,
Pendleton Co, VA, m. 17 Jun 1817 Bath Co VA, Sarah Wade b 13 Dec 1792 Augusta
Co VA. Sampson d. 20 Mar 1885, probably Ritchie or Wood Co VA, and Sarah d.
20 Sep 1882 in Wood Co, VA (according to info I was given).
Two census found... but I have not searched too much, as this part of my
family had been done by relatives...
Zickefoose, Sampson

Sampson and Sarah Zickefoose are boarders, both at age 87
dwelling 286, family 291 Cummins , F. A. 53 and wife Sarah J. 42
Sampson says he was born in VA, his father Germany, his mother VA
Sarah says was born VA, her father VA, her mother MD
He had three sons I know of-- who could have been father to your Sampson--
all I have on two are names, Otho, and Peter. the third was Asbury b 13 Oct
1840 Pendleton Co VA, and d. 22 Sept 1933 Wood Co, VA. Asbury married Mary
Magdeline Simmons 27 July 1865 Wood Co VA, her dates...1842 Pendleton Co VA,
d 1889 Ritchie Co, WV. Sampson's daughter Martha b 14 Oct 1828 was the
eldest, and she married James Barnes Westfall (my line). James' mother was
an Elizabeth Simon b 1797. Have been going to see if the Simmons/Simon was a
connection, as I have no further information before James'mother on her side.
Except also, another Westfall married Elizabeth's sister Mary.
Anyway, I have two very old pictures of the above Sampson Zickefoose
(1792-1885). Martha came to CA... Mariposa Co with her sons and other
Westfalls in 1880s. Her oldest son she names Sampson.
Hope you find your connection, and if anyone else needs the pictures, I will
scan.
