|
| 202 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 203, reports birth date as Dec 26 1914 and death date as 1918. | SUTTON, Gussie (I79670)
|

|
| 204 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 271, reports birth date as May 31 1890. But death record states Jun 24 1890. | SUTTON, William Curtis "Willie" (I45133)
|
| 205 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 31, reports that Jethro F. Randolph died in 1857 at Greenbrier Run (Salem) in Doddridge County. But a notice in the "Coopers Clarksburg Register" of Wednesday, Jan 15 1858, states that he died "of Pneumonia and Pleurisy at Alfred Centre, N.Y., on the 27th" of December 1857. | RANDOLPH, Jethro F. (I92121)
|
| 206 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 43, reports death date as Apr 15 1856. But the date on her headstone is Apr 17 1855, and her obituary, from the May 3 1855 issue of "The Sabbath Recorder" as transcribed on Findagrave, states that she died "on the morning of April 17th." | STILES, Lois (I63560)
|
| 207 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 43, reports death date as Jul 13 1876. | FORD, Mary Florence (I47512)
|
| 208 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 51, reports death date as Jan 7 1866, which is also the date on her headstone. But her death record, in the form of a handwritten ledge entry, states her death date as Jan 6 1867. However, her death record also states her father's name as Hesakiah, mother not known, rather than Benjamin and Elizabeth. | THARP, Experience (I43652)
|
| 209 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 60, incorrectly reports place of death as Grafton in Taylor County. But a newspaper account states that Thomas Ford, a resident of Grafton, died instantly at Tunnel #6 east of West Union when the train he was conducting collided with another train. One of the three physicians who responded to the accident scene was E. B. Fittro of Salem, who incorrectly recorded the death in Harrison County, with place of death entered as "near Salem," cause of death "killed by train," further described as "killed instantly." Burial location was given only as Grafton, his age was incorrectly stated as 42y 4m 5d, and his occupation was incorrectly given as brakeman (which was his occupation in the 1900 Census), rather than conductor as reported in the newspaper account of his death. The death was reported by the physician on Sep 3 1904, nearly five months after it occurred, which may account for some of the errors. | FORD, Thomas (I53279)
|
| 210 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 60, reports that William Ford was born and died in 1849. However, he appeared in the 1850 Census, but was not with his family in the 1860 Census. | FORD, William (I53281)
|
| 211 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 64, reports birth date as Nov 20 1870 and death date as 1930. But his death record shows dates as Nov 24 1871 and Sep 2 1929. Dates on his headstone are also 1871-1929. | RANDOLPH, Ora Morris (I100390)
|
| 212 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 69, reports birth as Dec 16 1853 in Lewis County. | STROTHER, Daniel Porter (I54270)
|
| 213 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 70, reports birth date as March 20, 1856. | DAVIS, Harmon G. (I57639)
|
| 214 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 83, reports death date as 1927. But date on headstone is 1929. | WARD, Matthew Weston (I47574)
|
| 215 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 85, reports birth date as 15 June 1865. But her headstone shows it as 13 August 1865. | DAVIS, Rebecca Jane (I35945)
|
| 216 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," reports his birth date as 17 Sep 1855 on page 61, but as 16 March 1857 on page 119. The 1855 date appears to conflict with the birth date of an older sibling. However, his obituary states that he was born on 17 Sep 1855, while age 28 at the time of of his Sep 1886 marriage would put his birth in about 1858. The date on his headstone is 1855. | FORD, George Washington (I41901)
|
| 217 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia." p. 80, incorrectly reports death date as Oct 6 1927. His obituary appeared in the Oct 7 1926 issue of the "West Union Herald." | LANG, Moses (I52441)
|
| 218 | "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, WV," p. 76, reports birth date as Nov 2 1860. But other researchers report it as Nov 2 1865 in Ross County, Ohio, which is more consistent with her age 6 in the 1870 Census. | TUCKER, Dorothy Rebecca (I92190)
|
| 219 | "Dennis may have been one of the children sent to Indiana on an "Orphan Train." The 1890 census is not available, so it's unknown where Dennis was at that time. However, the 1900 census shows a 21-year-old Dennis Brady, day-laborer, boarding with the Gaston family in Dunkirk, Jay Co IN." http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/BRADY/2008-05/1209935043 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_Train | BRADY, Dennis Allen (I23680)

|
| 221 | "Descendants of Robert Lowther," by Don Norman reports Ida Mae Morton as the second wife of Benjamin F. Lowther. But 1910 Census of Newton Co, MO, shows Ida (age 34) as the wife of William Lowther, b. ca 1874 in Texas, and the mother of Charley Lowther, b. ca 1898. Death record of Charles Hugh Lowther, b. Jan 14 1898 in Granby MO, d. Apr 8 1950 in Kansas City MO, identifies his parents as William Lowther and Ida Morton. | LOWTHER, Benjamin Franklin (I46809)
|
| 222 | "Descendants of Robert Lowther," by Don Norman, reports death date as December 1839. But Harrison County Chancery Case No. 83, File 9, pertaining to a land dispute between Lewis Maxwell and Jonathan Howell, contains a deposition of "Sudna Childers, widow of William Childers," dated October 23, 1839. William Childers himself had testified at the beginning of the lawsuit in 1838, so his death was either later in 1838 or in 1839 prior to the October deposition of his widow. | CHILDERS, William "Old Bill" Jr. (I47012)

|
| 224 | "Doddridge County Cemeteries Vol. 1," p. 89, reports birth/death dates as May 26 1875 - Oct 10 1875. Death record clearly shows it as Sep 30 1875. | DAVIS, Winter M. (I54967)
|
| 225 | "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol I," p. 20, reports age on headstone as 83y 11m 20, with the following notation: "Tombstone is laying on the ground broken into two pieces. No dates were readable in 1932 or 1983." | SWANN, Mary L. (I44467)
|
| 226 | "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol. II," p. 123, citing obituary (West Union Record, 8/28/1903), reports burial in an unmarked grave at Robinson Cemetery. But "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol. IV, p. 24," reports a headstone for him at Coplin Cemetery, with birth date Dec 29 1844 and no death date. A headstone for his wife Margaret is also reported at Coplin Cemetery. | DICKS, Andrew T. (I44246)

| 227 | "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Oct 29, 1914: Prominent Ritchie Citizen Killed Jacob Watson, a prominent farmer residing on Brushy Fork about 20 miles below Auburn, Ritchie County, was thrown from his horse near the Summerville bridge Thursday morning of last week and received injuries from which he died about one o'clock Monday morning. From the time the unfortunate man was found, he was conscious for only a short time -- about an hour. The condition of his face and head indicated that the horse had stepped in his face after he was thrown. He was about 50 years of age and is survived by a wife (formerly Miss Clara Fisher) and three daughters. A brother, Scott Watson, a well-known B & O conductor, also survives. Mr. Watson was one of the most prominent and widely known stockmen and farmers in this section of the state, and his tragic death has cast a deep gloom over the entire state. | WATSON, Jacob M. (I23076)

| 230 | "Dr. McGovern was a young man of scholarly attainments and of a very wide experience in life. In his youth, he was graduated from the Classical High School of Providence, R.I. He then attended Andover Academy one year and the Harvard Dental College two years prior to entering the Georgetown Medical School, from which he was graduated in 1911. Following his graduation, he took a Post Graduate course in Surgery at St. Francis Hospital, Jersey City, N.J. -- He was then sent to Alaska by the Government to take charge of a post, and remained in the great North country for two years. Returning to the States, he locatd in West Virginia, and practices medicine in Smithburg and West Union in this county." [Obit] | MCGOVERN, Edward Joseph Jr. (I123064)

| 232 | "During the world war, he tendered his services to his country, enlisted in the Medical Corps, and was Ship Surgeon on the Lusitania, then in transport service. In this capacity he made two trips, over and back, and was then transferred to the Receiving Station at Newport News, Va. It was on the next, the third trip that the Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine." [Obit] | MCGOVERN, Edward Joseph Jr. (I123064)

| 233 | "Early in his working career, he had the opportunity to drive the first school bus used at Harrisville High School in 1933 and he was employed by the Ritchie County School System as a school bus driver and rose to the position of superintendent of transportation, where he served for 24 years. He also served as supervisor of the Ritchie County highway system for the West Virginia Department of Highways during Cecil H. Underwood's first term as governor and also worked for the Department of Highways during the administration of Arch Moore. He was later employed by Robinson Motors of Harrisville as a salesman." | BURNS, Carlton Haden "Budge" (I29836)
|
| 234 | "Elias Lowther became a surveyor in early life, and when Wood County was formed, he was appointed by the surveyors of both Wood and Harrison to survey the line between the two counties. He was also a deputy surveyor for Wood County and a Justice of the Peace. It is evident that he lived in Wood County for a few years, as did his brother Jesse Lowther and their father, but they all returned to West Milford in Harrison County. Elias Lowther "was at one time a member of the Richmond Legislature from Harrison county, and was major in the militia. During the latter part of his life he lost his mind, and his last years were spent in the insane hospital at Staunton, Virginia, where he was laid to rest near the year 1845." In Harrison County Chancery case No. 83, File 9, Lewis Maxwell vs. Jonathan Howell, regarding a land dispute, Elias Lowther made the following statement on Oct 13 1840 while at the house of fellow surveyor Minter Bailey in Weston: "The platt beginning at the Willow Island on Middle Island Creek extending up the same containing twenty lots and marked on the back Lewis Maxwell vs Howell and much defaced by mould is the same made out by me for Nathan Davis & J. Howell and others perhaps about the year 1823...I am well assured the dates and figures are my own marks." | LOWTHER, Major Elias (I29165)

| 235 | "Everly Husk was a sturdy mountain man, who was known to shed his shoes come early spring and 'break-in' his feet going barefoot. His voice could often be heard echoing in the holler, singing hymns as he walked out to work or to go the store at Hur." He moved his family from Calhoun Co, WV, "to Washington County, Ohio in the 1950s to seek a better life." | HUSK, John Everly (I791)

"THOMAS FLAGG settled in Watertown as early as 1641 and was probably the ancestor of all families bearing that name in this country. He was selectman in 1671, 1674, 1675, 1676 and 1678. He lost his left eye by a gunshot accident previous to 1659, and died Feb 6 1697-8. His will was dated March 5, 1696-7. His wife Mary was born 1619. Her will dated Dec. 30, 1702, and probatged April 21, 1703. ... "Thomas Flagg continued to be selectman, 1681, 1685 and 1687. He was released from training by paying 5c per annum. His will, proved Feb. 16, 1697-8, mentions only a part of his children, viz: Sons -- Thomas, Michael, Allen and Benjamin, and daughter Rebecca Cook. The will of his widow Mary, dated Dec. 30, 1702, mentions only a part of her children, viz: Mary Bigelow, Elizabeth Bigelow, Rebecca Cook, and son Benjamin."

| 238 | "Frederick Husk (or Hust) apparently settled near the mouth of Dolls Run [in what is now the north central part of West Virginia]. In some old deeds, that stream is called Hust's Run, but the family long ago passed out of the community, and even the name applied to the stream did not stick. The last property passed out of the hands of the family on June 6, 1846, when Elizabeth Husk, widow of Samuel Husk, and the other heirs, Frederick Husk and Nancy his wife, Isaac Husk and Jane his wife, George Britton and Mary his wife, Samuel Husk and Dorcas his wife, Horatio Britton and Elizabeth his wife, transferred 100 acres to Solomon Bowers." ["Chronicles of Core," 3rd Edition, by Earl L. Core, McClain Printing Company, Parsons, WV, 1975, p. 35] A handwritten copy of a land grant, which is to Frederick Husk, October 9, 1781: "The Commissioners for Adjusting the Claims to Unpatented Lands and the Corporation of Monongalia, Yohagania of Ohio: We hereby certify that Frederick Husk is entitled to two hundred acres of land in Monongalia County on Dunkards' Creek adjoining lands claimed by Michal Core to include is improvements made in the year 1770. Given under our hands this 6th day of March in the 6th Year of the Commonwealth. John Evans James Neal Charles Martin William Haymond Simon Troy This certificate cannot be entered with the surveyor after the 26th day of October 1791. Attested: John Hayle. Entered 9 October 1781." [The Monongalia Story, Vol I, by Earl L. Core, McClain Printing Co, pp. 57, 159] On Mar 14 1796, Frederick Husk was a member of the jury of inquest (the first meeting of the court after the records were burned that year). [The Monongalia Story, Vol. II, p. 256] This is a genealogy of the descendants of this Frederick Husk (or Hust, or Hurst), with particular emphasis on those branches of the family tree closest to the principal compilers, Samuel David Gaston and Geneva Gaston Brown. The information presented here was obtained from countless sources over many years of research. Wherever possible, the original source is documented, but the reader can rest assured that even when a source is not specified, the compilers were highly confident of the accuracy of the information before including it in this collection. Though not proven, the following Husk family is probably connected to the Husk lineage which is the focus of this genealogy. They are more fully described at http://www.doddridgecountyroots.com/bk6html/f20121.html : 1. Isaac Husk, b. ca 1838 in Pennsylvania, 1850 & 1860 Census in Monongalia Co, 1870 & 1880 Census in Washington Co Pa. m. Elizabeth Johnson, b. ca 1837 in Pa. m. Louisa Wharton Children by first wife: 2. William Johnson Husk, b. 1859 in Monongalia Co, (W)Va. m. Ida Roberta McIntyre in 1885 in Tyler Co WVa, b. 1867 in Tyler Co, d. 1936 in Tyler Co. They had 12 children: Ethel Leora, Nancy Louisa, William Luther, Edgar Leo, Dwight Lovell, Amma Lotus, Dewey Liston, Hazel L, Herbert Leslie, Omer Russel, Virginia Pearl, Chloe Frances. If any reader of this genealogy knows how this Husk family is connected to our primary Husk lineage, please let us know. Despite extensive research in more recent years, nothing about the ancestors of the elder Frederick Husk (or Hust, or Hurst) has been discovered. Information on the earliest of his descendants has also been very hard to come by. However, this genealogy is, and always will be, a work in progress, and additional information regarding the early generations, as well as the current one, will be added as it becomes known. In that vein, readers of this collection are invited to inform us of any errors or additional information for future updates.

Upon completion of his studies, he went to Spencer State Hospital and later moved to Gallipolis, Ohio, and worked in the mental hospital there. Sometime later, Dr. Cooper moved back to Weston to work at Weston State Hospital. He and his family lived in a physician's apartment in themain building on the hospital grounds until he reached retirement age. "After several years of retirement, Dr. Cooper was asked to come back to the hospital to continue working. As his sight was failing, he had a special secretary to help him until he finally retired in 1961, at the age of 82." [Preface to "Memories of a Country Doctor," by E. R.
