According to a Wilmington monthly Quaker meeting, on July 16, 1777, Elijah Musgrave was disowned by the Quaker society: "Hath so far erred as to remove to a distant part without taking the advice of friends and without a certificate, and accomplished his marriage before a magistrate to his first cousin."

Spelling of name appears in various forms as Bashaba (headstone), Barsheba (father's will), Bathsheba (1870 Census), Basheba, etc. Birthplace possibly Buckhannon, Upshur Co, WV.

She married Peter B. Haught, census name Peter B. Haut,^[14] in Mt. Morris, Greene Co, PA, b. Sep- -1809,^[15] [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.], d. Jun-14-1883 in Doddridge Co, WV,^[16] buried in Cabin Run Cemetery, Doddridge Co, WV,⁵ census 1880 in West Union District, Doddridge Co, WV, census 1870 in Southwest District, Doddridge Co, WV, census 1860 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA, census 1850 in Barbour Co, (W)VA, census 1840 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA, occupation farmer,^{14,[17],[18],[19]} military Jan- -1863 - Apr-23-1864 Pvt, Co B, W.Va. Independent Exempt Inf, Civil War,^{[20],[21],[22]} [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.].

Peter: Peter B. Haught, presumably a descendant of Paul Haught of Holland, came into Monongalia Co, (W)VA, from Fayette Co, PA, and purchased a farm of 117 acres, on Statler's Run, on Sep 28, 1837. In 1845 he sold this land and lived in Greene Co, PA, for a short time, later relocating to Doddridge County, West Virginia, near the Ritchie County line. As explained below, his exact parentage has not been definitively determined.

According to the 1948 W. B. Haught genealogy, Peter Haught I was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1720. He married there in about 1747 and sailed from there on the ship Patience, landing at Philadelphia on Sep 9, 1751, with his wife and daughter Elizabeth. Sometime prior to 1755, he settled near the present town of Moorefield, in what is now Hardy County, WV. His son, Peter Haught II, was born in the South Branch valley on July 1, 1755. (This is presumably the Peter Haut, age 95, listed in the 1850 Census of Monongalia County, along with six other household members.) Peter Haught I had another son by a second wife in 1790.

Peter Haught I had three brothers who also came to America: (1) Tobias Haught, who never married; (2) Henry Haught, who had sons John, Nicholas and Peter, the latter killed at Fort Meigs on Feb 23, 1813; and (3) Paul Haught, who is thought to be the ancestor of the Peter B. Haught (1809-1883) of this genealogy.

Paul Haught came to Statler's Run in 1776 and marked a settlement right on a tract of land near the location of his nephew, Peter Haught II, and Richard Tennant. There is no evidence of Paul's return to this settlement right, but two of his sons, John and Jacob, came and claimed the land as heirs of Paul Haught, and had it surveyed on April 6, 1785. Their patent on this tract of 324 acres is dated Oct 25, 1792. On April 4, 1800, they sold 169 acres of the tract to Peter Tennant (son-in-law of Peter Haught I), and on Oct 8, 1804, they sold the remaining 155 acres to Samuel Varner. John Haught and his wife Catherine acknowledged the deed in Monongalia County, while Jacob Haught and his wife Magdaline (Croushour) Haught acknowledged in Fayette Co, PA. John Haught lived in Monongalia County for a few years, owning land on Days Run, and on Dunkard Creek, near Blacksville. His deed for the Dunkard Creek land, to John Johnson, is dated Aug 2, 1806. He moved to Fayette Co, PA. Amos Haught, apparently another son of Paul Haught, was assistant to Samuel Hanway, Surveyor of Monongalia Co, and made two surveys of farm lands in November 1783. Peter Haught, who purchased land on Sandy Creek on March 7, 1815, must have been another son of Paul Haught, as both Peter Haught I and his brother Henry had sons whom they named Peter. [Haught, W. B., "Genealogy of the Haught Family of America," 1948, pp 1, 112 and 165]

Monongalia County marriage records show a marriage between Peter Haught and Elizabeth Jenkins on Aug 16 1803. A marriage bond was issued in Monongalia Co (W)VA on Jan 1 1838 for Peter Hought, Jr. and Rachel Wilson, daughter of William Wilson. The spelling Hought is presumably a variation or misspelling of Haught. ["Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine," Vol 64, No. 11, Nov 1930, p. 705]

Adding to the confusion of the many Peter Haughts in that region at that time is this entry from "Chronicles of Core," p. 5: "Certificates granted by the commissioners for adjusting the claims to unpatented lands on the westernwaters for the county of Monongalia in February, March and April 1781 include the following .... Peter Haught, Senior, 400 acres on Statlers Run, adjoining lands of Henry Smith, to include his improvement made in 1776." Core also makes reference (p. 6) to Richard Tennant, "the ancestor of a very large and important family still living in Monongalia country, came from Glasgow, Scotland, about 1760, selling his time for seven years to pay his passage. About 1769 he married Elizabeth Haught, who was of German descent, at Moorefield, Hardy County, Va.... after serving in the Revolutionary War for a time, came and settled on Jake Statlers Run. His brother-in-law, Peter Haught, came with him." [Core cites Wiley, in "History of Monongalia County, p. 26]

Another Elizabeth Haught of that time is also cited by Core (p. 45): "Elizabeth Piles (nee Haught) died March 18, 1834, aged 49 years, 6 months, and 27 days, and was buried in the Price Cemetery. She was the wife of John Piles, son of Zechariah Piles by his second wife, Susannah." Her age at death would put her birthdate at Aug 19 1784.

Very near the grave of Peter B. Haught is a marker for Nancy L. (Postlewait) Britton, who was born about 1853 in Ritchie County, a daughter of Isaac & Mary Ann (Haught) Postleweight. Mary Ann Haught was born about 1819 in Pennsylvania, parents not known, but thought to be George & Jane (Provence) Haught. But the proximity of her daughter's grave to that of Peter B. Haught would suggest a close relationship, perhaps siblings.

Other researchers have reported the parents of Peter B. Haught variously as [1] Jacob Haught (1767-ca 1849) & Magdalena Croushour (1767-1815), [2] Johan (or John) Peter Haught (ca 1786 - ca 1844) & Sarah Sally Carver (1794-1843), and [3] Paul Haught & unknown. For ourselves, until a definitive connection surfaces, the parents of Peter B. Haught must remain an unsolved mystery.^{[23],[24],[25]}

1840 Census, Monongalia Co, Virginia (now West Virginia):

Household of Peter B. Haut:

1 male, age 30-40

1 female, age 30-40

(Note: If this is the correct household, daughter Mariah in not accounted for. See below.)

The adjacent household was that of Peter Haut:

1 male, age 80-90; 1 male, age 15-20; 2 males, age age 10-15

1 female, age 30-40; 1 female, age under 5

A nearby household was that of Jacob Haut:

1 male, age 20-30; 1 male, age 5-10

1 female, age 30-40; 1 female, age 5-10; 1 female, age under 5

Another household in the vicinity was that of Peter Haut:

1 male, age 20-30; 2 males, age under 5

1 female, age 20-30; 2 females, age 5-10

Yet another household in the vicinity was that of another Peter Haut:

1 male, age 20-30

1 female, age 20-20;

1 female, age under 5

(Note: Other than the lack of middle initial, this could be the Peter B. Haught of this genealogy, as it would account for daughter Mariah. Taking all factors into account, our conclusion is that this is indeed the Peter Haught in question.)

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.], d.

The parents of Ida Belle Leggett are known from the 1870 Census. Her marriage record did not call for parents' names, and her death record identifed her parents as "Unknown." In the 1880 Census of Ritchie Co WV (Union District), enumerated on Jun 11 1880, she was a member of the household of Ezekiel Kelley and wife Mary Jane Stinespring. The Census entry was as follows: Ezekiel Kelley, 51, occupation farmer; Mary Jane, 31, wife, occupation keeping house; Festus, 13, son, occupation works on farm; D. Alice, 9, dau; L.

First name has appeared variously as Almina and Elmina, although the latter is by far the most predominant. Middle name Ellen obtained from birth record of son James P. Smith. Although her marriage record indicates her middle initial as C, this may be a matter of interpreting the handwritten entry. Headstone clearly reads "Elmina E."

Aug- 9-1932 in Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV,^[98],59,12 buried in Oxford Baptist Church Cemetery, Doddridge Co, WV,⁵ census 1850 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA.

Mary: Identified in her marriage record as Mary A. Gaston and in her obituary as Mary A. Haught, daughter of John H. Gaston and Jane Pritchard Gaston. Basis for middle initial "A" is not known, as her middle name has been determined to be Martha and her headstone clearly identifies her as Mary M. Conversely, the obituary of her son Marvel L. Haught identifies her as Mary Ellen Gaston, and she appears in the 1850 Census as Mary E. Gaston, age 6 months.

Her own obituary reads in part: "Mrs. Haught was born and reared and spent her entire long and useful life on the same farm in South West District. She was well known to many of the citizens of Doddridge County and was loved and revered by all who knew her; she was always kind and generous to the poor and was always attentive and helpful to the citizens of her community in times of sickness and distress. She lived a useful life, retaining her memory and optimism of life until a few days before she was called. When her life's work was finished, she fell asleep, assuring her relatives and friends that she was prepared to the change and that all was well with her."

Much confusion has existed over the years concerning the spelling of his name and that of his father, but his father was Marville (despite being listed as Marvel in his wife's obituary), and he named his son Marvel. Nonetheless, both spellings are often seen for both men, even in official records. Headstone gives name as Marvel L. Haught, and the Social Security Death Index identifies him as Marvel Haught.

Obituary, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, November 28, 1918:

JAMES ALFRED HAUGHT WINS GOLDEN STAR

On last Friday night the official message went over the wires to Mr. and Mrs. John C. Haught of Bristol that their son, James Alfred Haught, had been killed in action, Oct. 10, 1918.

The details of his brief career as a soldier are unknown to us at this writing, but from relatives here, we learn that he entrained at Clarksburg about May 28th and that he probably took a brief training at Camp Lee before being rushed to France for further training and for active service.

Besides the bereaved parents, three brothers, W. P., Ora V., and W. C. Haught, and two sisters, Misses Alice and Lillie A. Haught, mourn their loss.

The mother was formerly Miss Anna E. Smith, daughter of William Smith of Nutters Fork, and the father is a brother to David Haught of West Union. Silas P. Smith, W. F. Smith and David Smith, all of West Union, are also uncles of the deceased soldier.

For many years the Haughts lived on Brushy Fork, where this noble young man was born and grew to manhood.

The profound sympathy of a wide circle of friends and relatives goes out to the bereaved family in their dark hour of sorrow. And while their loss is irreparable, may God help them to know and to understand that to their son has come the supreme honor -- that he has accomplished the highest possible mission in this life -- that he has made the greatest possible sacrifice for Country and for God.

Freda: Identified in obituaries of E. Wilson Osborne and W. Frank Osborne as Mrs. Freda Haught of Akron, a surviving sister. But she was identified in obituary of Frank's sister Rella Osborne Snider as Mrs. Harry (Freda) Haught of Akron, a surviving foster sister, and she was identified in obituary of Annetta "Nettie" Cole Osburn as Mrs. Harry (Freda) Haught of Akron, a surviving foster daughter. It would thus appear that Freda, whose mother died in 1919 when Freda was just 4, was raised in the family of Jacob M. and Annetta "Nettie" Cole Osburn. She was listed in their household as a lodger in the 1920 Census. Relationship between the Davis/Britton and Osborne/Cole families, if any, is not known. Confusingly, the obituary of her foster sister, Mary Osborne Gaston, states that she was predeceased by "three sisters, Rella Snider, Freda Haught and Freda Osborne." No birth record for Freda Davis was found in Doddridge County.

"France, Aug. 4, 1918

Mrs. Babe Brown

Dear Aunt,

After a long time of delay, I will now answer your letter received back in the States. This leaves me feeling fine, am in good health and sincerely hope for this to find each of you well and enjoying life.

Well, this is certainly a grand country with all its beauty, and my but there are lots of pretty girls here. But I have one back in the States awaiting on me, so I don't try to get acquainted with them here.

This has been a nice bright sunshiny Sabbath, and I have written the most of the day.

Has Chauncey Riddle returned back home yet?

How is business around town?

How is Brown's health? Is he as fat as ever? Tell him I am as I ever was, that Army life hasn't learnt me any bad habits yet and I expect to be the same as long as I live. Tell him hello for me and I hope to see him in the near future.

How are the children?

Well, Babe, don't wait too long to answer. So with love, best wishes to all, I will close.

65. Nancy Lou "Babe" Haught, also known as Babe Haught, also known as Nancy B. Haught (23.David⁷, 11.Bashaba⁶, 8.David⁵, 5.Elijah⁴, 3.Moses³, 2.Moses², 1.Oswin¹), b. Jan-19-1884 in Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV,^[555] d.

Nancy was always sensitive about her age, and no one in the family was ever sure exactly when she was born. The official Jan 19 1884 birth date was provided at the time of the delayed recording of her birth record in 1944 and was based principally on the testimony of her older sister Rosa. Age 23 given at the time of her Dec 1910 marriage would put her birth date in 1887, as would age 43 in the 1930 Census. The SSDI reports her birth date as Jan 19 1885, while her headstone shows her birth date as Jan 19 1889, also incorrect. A birth date of Jan 1882 was given in the 1900 Census, correctly placing her between older sister Icy Dell (listed as b. Jul 1880) and younger brother John Homer (b. Nov 1883). An analysis of the 1900 Census data for that household leads to the conclusion that Nancy and siblings Elizabeth, Icy & Homer seem to have shifted their birthdates in later years to make themselves appear a few years younger than they were. In Nancy's case, the shift seems to have occurred at about the time of the 1910 Census (when she was listed as being only 4 years older than in the 1900 Census), as her given age stayed fairly consistent after that. In the end, although we list her birth date as January 1884 to conform with her official birth record, the likelihood is that she was actually born in January 1882 as indicated in the 1900 Census.

She married Addison Avery Brown, Dec-20-1910 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[558],[559] b. Aug- 1-1881 in Verndale, Wadena Co, MN,^[560],[561] (son of Ammi Almanzia Brown and Almira Sanders), d.

Addison: Born in Minnesota in 1881, Addison Brown moved from there to the state of Washington with his father in June 1893. Federal Census data of Jun 5 1900 identifies Addison Y. [sic] Brown, age 19, residing in Satsop, Chehalis County (now known as Grays Harbor County), Washington as a servant and farm laborer in the household of Edward F. Foster, b. Aug 1862 in Idaho. Addison's birthdate was given as Aug 1880 [sic], birthplace Minnesota, father's birthplace Massachusetts, mother's birthplace New York. Edward Foster's wife Mary was shown as born in Apr 1864 in West Virginia. The Fosters' neighbors were the family of Jasper and Virginia Mowry; they and the oldest five of their seven children were born in West Virginia, the younger two born in Washington. We can only speculate that it was through the Fosters and/or the Mowrys that Addison was somehow introduced to Nancy "Babe" Haught of Doddridge County and eventually came to West Virginia. This is supported by the fact that Jasper Mowry appeared in the 1870 Census of Doddridge County (New Milton Twp) as the 9-year-old son of George & Mary Mowry, and that Jasper N. Mowry & Jennie (nickname for Virginia) Knight were married in Doddridge County on Mar 10 1856.

Census data of April 19 1910 states that Addison Brown was a 28-year-old laborer living in Montesano Precinct, County of Chehalis (now Grays Harbor County), Washington, with place of birth as Minnesota in 1881, residing as a "hired man" in the household of John C. Smith (age 52, born in Wisconsin) and his wife of 27 years, Jennie C. (age 47, born in West Virginia), and their children. Addison must have come to West Virginia soon thereafter, as he and Nancy "Babe" Haught were married Dec 20 1910 in West Union, and daughter Waneta was born Oct 23, 1911.

In an affidavit dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of his birthdate, Addison stated that his family had moved to Montesano, Washington when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings.

Addison always told his son Armand that his only living relative not descended from him was a cousin, Edith Maria Weeden, whose address was 10 Guernsey Street, Norwich (Chenango County), NY. We have since determined that Edith Weeden was the wife of Archer Lewis Weeden (b. Mar 18 1870) (married May 20 1891) and was born Edith Maria Terwilliger in New York on Feb 13 1873, daughter of Andrew Jackson Terwilliger (1829-1904) and Mary Esther Sanders (1842-1919) (married Dec 12 1871). Census data shows that Mary Esther Sanders was a sister of Almira Sanders, Addison's mother. It was Edith Maria Weeden who in January 1943 provided an affidavit supporting the filing of Addison's delayed birth certificate in Verndale, Wadena County, Minnesota.

1920 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District), enumerated on Jan 3 1920 at 111 Wabash Avenue:

v. ARMAND LEON BROWN b. Jan-27-1923 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[580] d. Apr- 9-1985 in Doddridge Co, WV, buried Apr-11-1985 in Masonic Memorial Park Cemetery, Crystal Lake (West Union), WV, resided from 1974 in Doddridge Co, WV, resided 1952 - 1974 in Boardman, Mahoning Co, OH, resided 1946 - 1952 in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH, resided until 1945 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV, occupation Brown's Grocery on Cabin Run Rd in Doddridge Co, occupation A&P Grocery Produce Manager (retired), education Doddridge County High School (1941),^[581] military Apr- 6-1943 - Jan- 9-1946 S/Sgt, US Army Armor, World War II (Europe).

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.

He married Geneva Pauline Gaston, Aug-4-1946 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[582] b. Nov-15-1926 at Camp Run, Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV (daughter of Ira Dow Gaston and Ida Opal Husk), d. Dec-22-2001 in Clarksburg, Harrison Co, WV, buried Dec-27-2001 in Masonic Memorial Park Cemetery, Crystal Lake (West Union), WV, resided from 1974 in Doddridge Co, WV, resided 1952 - 1974 in Boardman, Mahoning Co, OH, resided 1946 - 1952 in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH, occupation Brown's Grocery on Cabin Run Rd in Doddridge Co, occupation formerly cashier & office worker at A & P Grocery Stores in Youngstown, occupation formerly retail clerk at W.T. Grant 5 & 10 in Boardman OH, occupation formerly office worker at Ford garage in West Union WV, education Doddridge Co H.S. (1945), Salem College.

Geneva: 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.

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.

^[95] 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.

^[110] 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.

Her birthdate is stated as Mar 4 1875 in death record and obituary, and that conforms to the 1875 date on her headstone.

^[383] Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, Identified as Sarah A. (sic) Smith, white female, born alive on Nov 24 1865, dau of James W. and Elimind (sic) E. Smith. (BR Bk 1, p. 26; http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2608619&Type=Birth)

This birth record is a ledger-style typewritten log, transcribed from the original handwritten log, and appears to pertain to the same child recorded a few pages later in the same log and identified as Sarah M. Smith, white female, born alive on Nov 24 1866, dau of James W. & Elmina E. Smith. (BR Bk 1, p. 31; http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2608371&Type=Birth)

This would also appear to be the Sarah Melissa Smith who married James Reed and whose birth date was given in the 1900 Census as Nov 1865 and in her death record as Nov 4 (sic) 1865. The 1870 Census of her family contained an entry for Sarah M. Smith, age 4, but not for a sibling within one year's age. It is concluded that the transcription process resulted not only in the same birth being record twice, but also in both entries being incorrect in different ways, and that the child in question was Sarah Melissa Smith, born Nov 24 1865.

^[564] Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, Child identified as (first name blank) Prunty, white female, b. Nov 15 1904 at Nay, mother's first child. Father identified as Felix Prunty, farmer & school teacher. Mother identified as Nancy Haught Prunty, maiden name Nancy Haught, resident of Nay. Informant for birth record: Dr. E. R. Martin.

NOTE: This birth record contains several inaccuracies, not the least of which is the child's name. Clella Margaret Haught was born out of wedlock to Nancy "Babe" Haught. Nancy was never married to Felix Prunty and never went by the Prunty name. Similarly, Clella was known from birth until her marriage only as Clella Haught. The source of the error was apparently the attending physician, who was informed of the child's paternity and, making logical but incorrect assumptions, provided the County Clerk with the above information.

Clella was raised fatherless by Nancy Haught until Nancy's 1910 marriage to Addison A. Brown. Other than having a different last name, Clella was just another one of the family when Nancy and Addison's children came along in the ensuing years.

Not being aware of this birth record, family members many years later repeated family tradition which misidentified Clella's biological father as Sylvester Orval Prunty (1878-1956), son of Marshall Neal Prunty and Flora Odell Lawson. However, Clella's marriage record identifies her as Clella M. Haught, daughter of "F. O. Prunty and A. A. (Haught) Brown." It was long thought that "F. O." was an error that should have been "S. O." But information provided in 2010 by a Prunty family member revealed the existence of old family letters clearly showing that Clella's father was not Sylvester O. Prunty, but rather his brother Felix O. Prunty (1883-1967), as indicated in Clella's birth record. Apparently out of shame when he learned of Nancy's pregnancy, Felix had left the Doddridge/Ritchie area in 1904 shortly before Clella's birth, returned in 1907 long enough to marry Ada Knight, then moved permanently to Oklahoma. There is no evidence that Felix had any further relationship with Nancy or with Clella.

This account of Clella's paternity and Haught surname was written by her nephew. Aunt Clella was a wonderful woman who endured many hardships in her life and, as a single mother, raised two equally wonderful and accomplished children. She deserves that her story be told accurately. BR p. 167, Line 1716 : http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2618192&Type=Birth.
