(25) Ritchie County WV Marriages 1843-1915, Wes Cochran, 2515 10th Ave, Parkersburg WV 26101 (July 1985), Identified as Joseph S. Whitehair, 28, b. Taylor Co, res. Ritchie Co; and Sarah A. [sic] Hickman, 18, of Ritchie Co. Married Jul 25 1886. Event Notes Note (1) Age in marriage record would put birth in about 1842, as does age 8 in 1850 Census. But age 16 in 1860 Census and 25 in 1870 puts it in about 1844 or 1845. Marriage record states birthplace as Tyler County, presumably intended to be Taylor County, where her family had resided before coming to Doddridge. A notation in the 1870 Census indicates that she was unable to read or write. Note (2) Not with family in 1860 Census. Name Index
