(21) Death record of daughter. (22) Birthplace from marriage record. (23) Death record of son. (24) Doddridge County Marriage Records, West Union, WV, There are two entries for this marriage: MR Bk 1-B, p. 21, shows that the marriage license was filed/issued on Jan 4 1858. MR Bk 1-A, p. 122, shows that the marriage occurred in Doddridge Co on Jan 5 1858. At first glance, the latter entry looks like July 5 1858, but closer examination of the elegant handwritten entry reveals that what appears to be "July" is actually "Jany," the common abbreviation for January in those days.

(27) Headstone (year only) (28) Doddridge County Death Records, West Union, WV, Two conflicting death record entries have Marvel L. Haught, age 75, dying on Nov 28 1924 at Oxford of old age; and Marville L. Haught, age 78y 7m 18d, dying Dec 28 1924 at Summers of old age. The latter appears to be the more accurate and is the basis for his birthdate of May 10 1846. The Dec 28 1924 date is also given for his death in the obituary of his wife. His headstone gives only the years 1846 and 1924. Birthplace given in death record as Greene Co, PA. DR 4-81 & 2-64A. (29) Headstone, - Military marker gives unit as Co C, 6th Regiment, W.Va. Infantry. Name appears as Marville L. Haught, with birth/death dates of 1846-1924. (30) Bradford Spiker (compiled by Barr Wilson), The Good-Will Community: A History of Holbrook, W.

Greene Co PA, son of Peter B. & Bashaba Haught; and Mary A. Gaston, 18, b. Doddridge Co, dau of John M. & Jane Gaston. Married Mar 27 1868. Ceremony performed by Eli M. Gaston, uncle of the bride. MR Bk 1-A, p. 154. (32) Obituary of son, Despite some speculation that the middle name of David M. Haught might be Moses, the obituary of son John Homer Haught identifies his parents as "David Marion and Mary Watson Haught." (33) WV State Dept of Health, Div of Vital Statistics, Death Certificate (http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_dcsearch.aspx) (34) Immediate family. (35) Doddridge County Death Records, West Union, WV, Name listed as David B. Haught, the middle initial being an obvious error. His birthplace was given as Doddridge Co, and death place as Greene Co, PA, but it is certain that those should be reversed. Occupation given as "retired farmer," and marital status as widowed. Parents identified as Peter Haught (b. in Pennsylvania) and Basheba Musgrave (b. in West Virginia). Handwritten entry gives date of birth as 5/14/1843, but age at death (79y, 6m, 25d) puts birth at 5/14/1848, which coincides with other sources. Cause of death listed as pulmonary tuberculosis. DR Bk 4, p 81: http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=5050231&Type=Death. (36) Headstone, - Headstone has his name as David M. Haught, with dates 1848 - 1927, and below that is "Mary his wife," with dates 1848 - 1910.

(46) Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937, Wes Cochran, 156 Gihon Meadows, Apt 150, Parkersburg, WV 26101 (Jan 1993), Identified as John C. Haught, age 28, b. Upshur Co, res. Doddridge Co, son of Peter B. & Bashaba; and Anna E. Smith, age 22, of Doddridge Co, dau of William & Margaret. Married Nov 11 1880. (47) West Virginia Marriage Records, 1863-1900 (http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4484.htm) Event Notes Note (1) In the1920 Census, son David Haught stated his father's birthplace as Pennsylvania and his mother's as West Virginia; but in the several censuses that included Peter B. Haught himself, he provided his own birthplace as Virginia. This is likely in present-day West Virginia, probably Monongalia County near the Pennsylvania border. Note (2) The 1890 Veterans Schedule entry for Peter B. Haught, which was based solely on information provided by his widow Bashaba, indicated that he had served for 1 yr 5 mo, with a discharge date of June 1865. But monthly company muster rolls completed at the time of his service clearly show that he enlisted in Doddridge County for a period of three years on Dec 8 1862 with a muster-in date of Jan 9 1863 at Wheeling, and that he was mustered out in Wheeling on Apr 23 1864. His length of service thus corresponds to the 1890 Veterans Schedule, but with different dates. He seems to have understated his age by ten years during his military service. The two companies of the W.Va. Independent Exempt Infantry were stationed at Wheeling, the state capital, to perform guard and escort duties. Note (3) Age 38 at time of 1877 marriage would put birth in about 1839, and 1900 Census states birth date as Jun 1840. But age 15 at 1850 Census and age 35 at 1870 Census would put birth in about 1835. Her obituary states her birth date simply as 1834, as does her headstone. While her marriage record indicates birthplace as Monongalia County, her obituary states the neighboring Greene County, Pennsylvania. The border between the two counties was inexact and changing at that time, and it is not unusual to have both counties reported as a birthplace. Note (4) In parents' household, along with brother John. Note (5) He was one of ten Civil War veterans from Doddridge County who attended the Gettysburg 50th Anniversary observance in 1913.
