But his obituary, which also states his age as 64y 7m 18d, specifies his birth date as Sep 6 1846. Age given at Aug 1867 marriage was 20, and at Aug 1888 marriage was 41, both of which would support a birth date in Sep or Nov 1846. Other sources have given his birth date ranging from abt 1844 to abt 1849, to include the 1900 Census listing his birthdate as Sep 1847, and a family information survey completed by son John W. Hart in 1931 which reported the birth of Andew N. Nutter as Sep 6 1848 in Harrison Co. His birth place was reported in his marriage record as Doddridge Co, in agreement with his death record.

According to Doddridge County Probate Records (Bk 2, p. 227), Sarah E. (i.e. Elizabeth, his 2nd wife) Hart was "appointed guardian of Alaska Hart & Etta Hart, orphans of Andrew N. Hart."

He married (1) Aug-30-1867 in Doddridge Co, WV,^[75],[76] [Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937" gives marriage date as Oct 30 1867.], Sarah Emaline Britton, also known as Emaline Britton,^[77],29,[78] census name E.

Sarah: The name Sarah Elizabeth Harlow (or Harland) appearing here is deduced from the records of her marriage and the births of her children. Marriage records identify her as "Mrs. Sarah E. Nucholes" (previous marriage?), born in Augusta, VA (now Hampshire Co, WV), and husband Andrew Hart's obituary identifies her as "Mrs. S. E. Knuckles." Birth record of daughter Dalla identifies her as Elizabeth Harland Hart, born in Augusta Co, VA, but Dalla's obituary identifies her as the daughter of "Andy and Martha Nuckles Hart." Dalla's death record identifies her as the daughter of Andy Hart & Martha Muckles [sic]. Birth record of son Alaska identifies her as Sarah E. Harlow Hart, born in Augusta Co, VA, and his death record also identifies her as Sarah Harlow. Based on apparent quality of the records, the latter is believed most accurate of those. But obituary of daughter Etta Wanda Hart Merritt identifies her parents as Andrew and Elizabeth Poole Hart. A death record for a Sarah E. Hart (d. Apr 14 1918) is on file in Doddridge County, age and parents are not listed, cause of death given as "old age."

This Census information indicates that William and Eliza began their relationship and family well before their January 1901 marriage, which presumably was delayed because William was not yet divorced from his second wife.

They had no children of their own, but James Blaine Gaston and his wife Hazel raised a boy who was said to have been left on their doorstep. The boy went by the name Jack Gaston, until his late teens when he changed his name and ran away. The boy died sometime between 1974 and 1978, with the funeral held in Salem, WV. Some family members speculate that the boy was born to the unmarried sister of his foster mother Hazel May Yeater.

Jun- 6-1910 in Doddridge Co, WV,⁷⁰ [Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County Deaths" lists the death of "Juhette Hildman" on Jun 6 1909. Undated and partly illegible obituary clipping states that she died June 6th at age 44 years, illegible months, 25 days. Husband's obituary in 1921 states that she died in "about 1907," but that would put her birth in 1862, three years before her documented birth. An age of 44y6m25d at death on Jun 6 1910 would calculate to a birthdate of Nov 12 1865, just one day off from what was documented. This is the basis for the death date given here as Jun 6 1910. A death date of Jun 15 1907 was reported by nephew John W. Hart in a W. Guy Tetrick family information survey completed in 1931. Meanwhile, Doddridge County death records (DR Bk 2, p. 64) list a "Juliette Hildman," age 50, married, who died at Summers on June 6, 1909 of TB.

Isaac: At time of his death, had been employed for fifteen years as superintendent of W. Brent Maxwell's farm in Doddridge County. He was mis-identified in son Grant's obit as "Isaac A. Hileman." Son Willis' obituary stated that he was survived by sisters Maysel, Maybell and Pearl, and by "one step-sister, Mrs. Jim (Rachel) Leeson, Oxford." This would actually be a half-sister, Rachel S. Pierce, dau of Willis' mother Lucinda Richmond and her second husband Esta Waitman Pierce. Willis' obituary also states that he was predeceased by nine brothers and five sisters, some of whom, it would seem, were probably step-siblings. Isaac's own obituary contained numerous factual errors regarding names and dates.

In 1867, before his marriage to Elizabeth Gaston, Josiah Porter Nutter bought some ground on Stone Lick at the mouth of Horn Creek in Gilmer County, settled on it, and built a log cabin. After his marriage and after his children were born, Josiah built a large addition attached to the original log cabin to make a large two story family home. This home was occupied continuously by Josiah and his descendants from 1867 until Dec 26 2011, when grandson Lane Bush Nutter died in the home. Both Josiah and Elizabeth also died in that home, and all of their children were born there. The exact location of the house is on Stone Lick at the mouth of Horn Creek, in Gilmer County. It is located within Gilmer County, but extremely close to both the Ritchie County line and the Doddridge County line, leading to much confusion. The current postal mailing address is 322 East Stone Lick Drive, Coxs Mills, WV, but the same house previously had an Auburn mailing address. Auburn is in Ritchie County, but the house is physically located in Gilmer County. [Diane Nutter, g-g-grandaughter of Josiah Porter Nutter]

Launa: The likely origin of Launa Capitola Bowyer's middle name was the popular culture of that time. Capitola "Black Cap" Black was the spunky, cross-dressing heroine of "The Hidden Hand: Or, Capitola the Madcap" (serialized 1859, published in book form 1888) by Mrs. E.D.E.N. [Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte] Southworth (1819-1899). Searchable census indexes for 1860 and 1870 bring up 202 and 595 Capitolas respectively, suggesting the popularity of serial fiction in general, and of this novel in particular. Towns in California (www.capitola.net) and Texas (extinct) were named for this heroine. [Source: The Daily Genealogist blog at AmericanAncestors.org]

(1945), Salem College.

Graduate of Doddridge County High School (1945) and attended Salem College, Salem, WV, 1945-46. Worked for two years in the office of the Ford garage in West Union. Upon her marriage to Armand Brown in 1946, she moved to Youngstown, Ohio, where Armand's family had moved from West Union while he was overseas during World War II. From 1962 to 1974, she worked as cashier and office worker for A&P food stores in Youngstown and vicinity. In June 1974, with Armand's heart problems preventing him from continuing his job with A&P in Youngstown, they returned to Doddridge County, moving into the house on Oxford Road, at Cabin Run, where Geneva had lived with her family for about five years prior to her marriage. From then until his death in 1985, Armand and Geneva operated what had been her parents' small grocery store adjacent to the family home, changing the name from Gaston's Grocery to Brown's Grocery. With her brother Sam, Geneva was a driving force and principal compiler of this genealogy.

She married Aug-4-1946 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[533] Armand Leon Brown, b. Jan-27-1923 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[534] (son of Addison Avery Brown and Nancy Lou "Babe" Haught), d.

Armand: Armand held several jobs as a youth, including doing custodial work at the West Union Post Office and pumping gas at the local filling station. After his 1941 graduation from Doddridge County High School, he worked at the A&P grocery store at the end of Main Street near the court house. He had a knack for working with fresh produce, much of which was displayed outside the store to attract customers. One person it attracted was a pretty teenager who walked by every morning on her way to school. Armand happened to be watching one day and saw her grab an apple and continue on her way. He rushed out of the store and demanded that she either return the apple or pay for it. We don't know what she ended up doing, because at this point in telling the story, Armand would always say "And that's how I met my wife. I caught her stealing apples." That teenage girl was Geneva Gaston, and they married a few years later. Although it was never made clear in the telling of the story, there's little doubt that far from being an apple thief, Geneva was simply trying to get the attention of someone special.

In carpentry and other projects, his ultimate solution when something wouldn't quite fit was to call upon a tool he called "the persuader," known to anyone else as a sledgehammer.

79. Doctor Grant "Dock" Hileman, also known as Doctor Martin Grant Hileman,^[609] census name D. Grant Hileman,¹³⁴ (24.Juliet⁶, 7.John⁵, 4.Josiar⁴, 3.William³, 2.William², 1.Thomas¹), b.

His name has appeared in various forms. The typewritten entry in his birth record was simply the last name Hileman, with "Doctor G." later added with pen. In the 1900 Census, he was listed as D. Grant Hileman. Both his death record and obituary identify him as Grant "Doc" Hileman. His headstone, shared with his brother Walter, gives his name as "D. G. 'Dock' Hileman." The Hileman Genealogy, self-published in 1981 by his half-sisters Edna Pearl Hileman Cooper & Alma Maysel Hileman Pierce, reports his name as Doctor Martin Grant Hileman, stating that he was named for the family doctor, E. M. Martin of Oxford. Although born as the seventh child rather than the seventh son, his name was probably also inspired by the folk practice of the time, especially in the American South, of naming a seventh son "Doctor" because seventh sons were believed to be natural healers.

He married Oct-15-1928 in Harrison Co, WV,^609,104 Valley Marietta Frey, d. 1964.¹⁰⁴

Birth records provide no explanation for the apparent 4-month age difference between William Grant Hileman, b. Jul 29 1922, and his sister Alma Katherine Hileman, b. Feb 11 1922, both in Doddridge County. Both are identified as children of McKinley Hileman and Lucy Davis. A search of the Social Security Death Index revealed William W. Hileman, b. Jul 29 1922, d. Aug 5 1978, resident of Virginia, Social Security card issued in West Virginia before 1951. Despite the different middle initial, given the same birthdate and the early West Virginia residence, it is considered probable that this is the same William Hileman.

"Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 465, reports that Burleigh Hickman (with wife Sarah Rulina Gaston) also had a foster child, Elizabeth Jane Travis, of Dayton, OH, who in turn had a daughter, Tonya R. But members of the immediate family, notably Elizabeth Clarke Lerman (the granddaughter of Sarah's sister Elizabeth Jane Gaston Sharps), correct these inaccuracies by identifying Burleigh and Sarah's foster child as their niece Elizabeth Jane "Betty" Sharps (the daughter of Sarah's sister Elizabeth Jane), and Betty's daughter as Tonda Rae Travis. Betty was raised by them from infancy following the death of her mother.

^[9] Headstone, Reports of Sarah Garrett Hart's death date as Apr 3 1850 are incorrect. They are based on a reading of a damaged portion of her headstone, which appeared to bear that date. But the 1850 Census of Doddridge County, enumerated on July 23 1850, shows that she was residing with her husband in the home of their son John. A re-examination of a photograph of the headstone shows that what had appeared to be a zero as the last digit of the year 1850 was more likely the upper portion of an eight, making the death date Apr 3 1858. The lower portion of the headstone has become even more damaged since the photo was taken. No death record was found for her at Doddridge County.

^[91] Obituary, The obituary of William Hart states that he was survived by six daughters, but then lists only five: Mrs. D. L. Cox of Cortwright Mines addition near Bridgeport, Mrs. R. T. Murray of New Milton, Mrs. W. A. Plauger and Mrs. Mary McKinley (sic) of New Milton, and Mrs. M. O. Reed of Bridgeport. An omitted surviving daughter was Malinda Elizabeth Shipley. Clarksburg Daily Telegram, Friday, Feb 15 1924.

^[92] WV State Dept of Health, Div of Vital Statistics, Death Certificate (http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_dcsearch.aspx), Previous reporting of William "Billy" Hart's death in 1895 was in error. That report was based on Doddridge County Probate Records (Bk 1, p. 168) showing that on Aug 13 1895, Isaac Husk was appointed "guardian of Rosa (sic) A. Hart, orphan of William Hart and Sarah J. Hart." Sarah Husk Hart had died in Jan 1879, and Isaac Husk was the child's grandfather. Billy Hart remarried his cousin Mary Catherine "Kate" Hart in Sep 1879, and they later divorced, presumably prior to the 1895 court action for guardianship. Harrison County Marriage Records show that this William Hart remarried Eliza Harlow on Jan 4 1901.

Subsequent reporting of his death occurring on Jul 8 1927 was also incorrect. That was based on a family history survey conducted by W. Guy Tetrick in 1931 and completed by William's nephew John W. Hart, stating that William Hart was born on June 5 1850 and died on July 8 1927. Both of those dates have since been found to be incorrect.

Age 19 yrs 6 months given at time of William's marriage in Apr 1870 would put birth date at about Oct 1850. More significantly, Harrison County death records show that William Hart, widowed, born Sep 26 1850, died Feb 14 1924 in the town of Ocean Mines (Simpson District), burial at Mt. Zion Church Cemetery. (Headstone there is hand-inscribed with birth date 1850, but incorrect death date of 1923.) Identificaton of his parents as William Hart and ___ Harlow by informant George Hart of Ocean Mines (relationship not stated, but determined to be William's son) is considered an error, apparently stemming from the informant providing the names of his own parents, rather than those of the deceased.
