| 301 | "John Charles was in Charleston, MA, in 1636 and moved to New Haven before 1640, possibly in 1638. His lot in New Haven was adjacent to the lot of John Moss, his brother-in-law. He moved to Branford where he joined in the compact of settlement in 1667 and died in 1673. The New Haven Colony records contain several pages of court proceedings concerning a John Charles, a mariner. Presumably, he was John Charles, father of Mary [Charles] Tichenor." | CHARLES, John (I70724)

| 302 | "John Nutter, with his brothers Isaac, Levi, Thomas and William, came to Ritchie County VA (WV) about 1813 and squatted near the mouth of Addis Run on land owned by a Mr. Addis. This land was sold to William McKinley, who dispossessed the Nutters in 1818. John and Mary then moved to the West Fork of the Little Kanawha River in present day Calhoun County WV." | NUTTER, John (I26098)

| 303 | "Joseph Cheuvront was bom in France and was educated for a priest, but later preferred instead to be a Methodisl minister. He came to Virginia at an early date, became a local preacher and also was engaged in farming for many years. He held a number ol local positions in Clarksburg, and was a man universally esteemed. His marriage resulted in the birth of eight children, as follows: Aaron, Gideon, James, Caleb, Priscilla and Joseph, born to his first union, and Thomas, Enoch and Cassandra born to the second." http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wvpioneers/cheuvrontfamily.html "The Rev. Henry Smith, who visited the Clarksburg Circuit in 1794 speaks of finding a good Society under charge of Joseph Chevuront fifteen miles from Clarksburg. The congregation that attended to hear him preach were all backwoods people and only one man present wore shoes. The Rev. Chevuront wore Indian Moccasins. All the rest of the audience, men, women and children were barefooted. The elderly women wore short gowns." http://genealogytrails.com/wva/harrison/churches.html | CHEUVRONT, Joseph Louis (I83699)

| 304 | "Joseph Tichenor died in 1750. His will of March 1, 1750, mentions only his first five children, Moses, James, Joseph, Daniel and Jane, all minors. Joseph, James and Jane were over the age of 14, so they asked the court to appoint Thomas Woodruff, Jr. of Elizabeth, NJ as their guardian. Since Daniel and Moses were under the age of 14, they were not entitled by law to choose their guardians. "In 1731, Joseph acquired land in New Vernon, a few miles south of Morristown. A second tract of land was purchased in 1739. He also purchased land in what is known as 'Turkey Pasture' from the heirs of William Penn. This is in the Great Swamp, now a wildlife preserve. "According to Harold Tichenor, the records of the First Presbyterian Church of Morristown contain the words 'confest for disregarding the lot' by Joseph's name. This refers to a casting of lots to settle a dispute over establishing a church in Morristown. The people of Morristown (then called West Hanover) worshipped at the Presbyterian Church at Hanover, which was established by 1718. By 1733, the population of Morristown (so named officially in 1740) had increased. The eastern portion of the parish opposed the move, so the church resorted to casting of lots. Even though the proposed division was voted down, a Morristown church was organized and a confession for disregarding the lot was required of those who had a part in it, Joseph among them. The church records also show that he renewed his covenant April 24, 1743, and became a communicant in September 1749." | TICHENOR, Joseph (I35600)

| 305 | "Kathy," born a Down-Syndrome victim, never achieved verbalization skills, but communicated her love of and from God to all with whom she came in contact, by her pleasant way and sweet smile. Her spontaneous extension of her hand for a warm handshake was another of her ways of giving a blessing. These characteristics are well remembered by any whose lives were ever touched by her. By a special action of the congregation of the Washington, D.C., Seventh Day Baptist Church (where Kathy's mother was a member and where the family attended during Kathy's lifetime,) approved Communion be given to her at regular communion times. This represents the closest she came to being a "member of the church"; yet no one questions that her passing leaves an immeasurable void and deep sadness among the membership there. | SUTTON, Kathleen Annette "Kathy" (I137815)

In 1912 immigrant German engineer Heinrich Koppers founded Koppers Company in Chicago, Illinois. In 1915 the organization moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company founder's interest in the company was bought out by Pittsburgh financier A.W. Mellon, who became a large shareholder. The landmark Koppers Building in downtown Pittsburgh opened in 1929." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koppers | SMITH, Cecil Hull (I72895)

| 308 | "Martin Tichenor took the oath of allegiance at New Haven Colony in August 1644. This is the first known record of his presence in the colony. He and Mary Charles were married by the governor. ... "The spelling of his name varies in New Haven records, but his will is signed 'Tichenor,' the spelling found most often in New Jersey records. The exception are found in a few records pertaining to this sons using single or double L's at the end of the name. Early tradition is that Martin Tichenor came from France. However, Taylor Tichenor, son of James Tichenor, whose genealogy is used in Teachenor's 'Partiail History of the Tichenor Family in America,' published in 1918, states that the most generally accepted tradition is that his ancestry is English, though of Dutch-Flemish derivation. "A study of the Connecticut and New Jersey colonial records cited in Harold Tichenor's 'Tichenor Families in America,' published in 1988, suggests that Martin was a Puritan and most probably came from England. ... "In 1665, New Haven and Connecticut were merged into one colony. This allowed baptism of children regardless of their parents' church affiliation. When the Puritans objected to this arrangement, ..." they opted to leave the colony and become homesteaders in New Jersey, arriving at the Passaic River in early May 1666. "No sooner did they begin to unload their supplies than Hackensack Indians confronted them to claim the land for themselves. Ultimately, the settlers purchased the land from the Indians ..." | TICHENOR, Martin (I35629)

| 309 | "Moses Tichenor (sic) served in the Revolutionary War in Captain Layton's Company of Morris County, New Jersey Militia in 1778, and was drafted into the Virginia Militia for a tour of duty to guard the prisoners taken at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. The prisoners were confined in Frederick County, Virginia. His son, David, was enrolled as his substitute and served from November or December of 1781 until March 12, 1782. Although the spelling of Moses Tichenor's name varies from the time he left New Jersey, he evidently preferred Tichenal." | TICHENAL, Moses (I35566)

| 310 | "Mr. & Mrs. George W. Twyford had a country store at Hebron, W.Va. in 1883 -- where Maude, Stella and Truman were born. In 1888 they moved to West Union and bought property from a Mr. Morrow. The property extended from Main Street to Court Street. Mr. Twyford operated the Twyford Department Store for about 40 years. Harry, Mayme and Delphia were born in West Union. Harry and Maude worked in the store. Maude did the buying for the Ready-to-Wear department -- going to Baltimore to the wholesale market -- then the market moved to New York. In the Millinery Department, head trimmers came from Baltimore, North Carolina and Virginia, where local girls were apprentices. The hats were trimmed with beautiful flowers, feathers, and bows of ribbon. Ladies came from Clarksburg on the morning train to buy hats -- staying all day and going home on the afternoon train. Before World War I, 1912-1915, suits sold for $100 and hats $25-$30. Mr. Twyford helped to promote the town water system, paving of the streets, building the Methodist Episcopal Church. The family was very active in the church. Mr. Twyford was a Trustee, Supt. of Sunday School for 27 years, Pres. of Dodd. Co. Sunday School Assoc., mayor of West Union, and manager of one of the glass factories for a short time. Mayme received her AB degree from W.Va. University and a MA degree from Columbia University. She taught school in Lubbock, Texas for 26 years." SOURCE: "The History of Doddridge County, West Virginia," p. 267. Local news item, "West Union Record," Thursday, August 19 1915, in its entirety: "Work was started Monday morning on the grading for the side walk in front of G. W. Twyford property on Main street. This is quite a job, as there is a lot of earth which has to be moved." Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, March 14 1918, in its entirety: "Geo. W. Twyford spent a few days in town last week, and while here informed us that the Twyford Coal Co. is shipping black diamonds every day. From an authoritative source, we learn that the Twyford Company's mine is one of the best, if not the very best equipped little mines in that section of West Virginia." | TWYFORD, George W. (I78099)

| 312 | "Mr. Gaston resided in Grant District (Harrison County) until 1890 and since then on his present farm which consists of 186 acres. In connection with farming he, like many of his neighbors, has been handling stock and has met with fair success. Both he and wife belong to the oldest families of Harrison Countv and are influential and prominent citizens. Both hold membership in the Protestant Methodist Church. In his politics Mr. Gaston leans toward the Democratic party, and his first Presidential vote was cast for Breckinridge in 1860." | GASTON, John William (I1475)

| 314 | "Mr. Mines settled in Taylor County in 1837, but four years later moved to Harrison County, where for four years he resided at what is known as the "Stone House," now the Gore farm. After that he settled in the woods, on his present farm two miles northwest of Clarksburg, and there he has about 550 acres of excellent land. He first purchased eighty acres, paying $8 per acre, and added to it as he was able. Aside from tilling the soil he was engaged in other enterprises, teaming, etc., and for many years burned all the lime that Clarksburg used, and 2,000 bushels, all that was used in the building of the asylum at Weston."

| 317 | "Nancy Tichenell, first wife of Thomas Pritchard Jr., was descended from a prominent New Jersey family, most of whom retained the original spelling of Tichenor. Beginning with Nancy's father Moses, a Revolutionary War soldier, the spelling went awry, and his descendants used a variety of forms, most ending with 'L'." Nancy Tichenell (Titchenell, Tichnell, Tichenal) died before Oct 25 1812 (the date of husband Thomas Pritchard's remarriage to Mary Moody) in what is now Preston Co, WV. Nancy and Thomas had seven or eight children. Some genealogists believe that his daughter Mary was actually the daughter of Mary Moody. Because his daughter Elizabeth was born Feb 20 1812, it is quite likely that Nancy died at the time of that birth, a common event in pioneer families. Mary's given name is another clue. "Two weeks after their marriage in Allegany County, Maryland, Thomas became the guardian of Nancy's younger siblings, Stephen Tickenal (sic), Margaret Tickenal, and Jain (Jane) Tichenal, orphan children of Moses Tickenal, all of that county." | TICHENELL, Nancy (I34190)

| 322 | "No man in West Union, West Virginia, is more liked and respected than Jackson V. Blair, who has achieved distinction at the bar, and who has made a name for himself as a public-spirited citizen and promoter of new enterprises.... "... the family circle was broken by the death of the mother, February 4, 1864, soon after which the subject of this sketch, then a lad of about eleven years, started out to fight his own way in life. For some time, he worked as a farm hand, attending school during the winter seasons, and studying at nights and on "wet davs" the year round. At about the age of seventeen, he came to Doddridge County, where he engaged as a laborer on the lumber works of Captain M. Donohue and Judge C. J. Stuart. The following winter he taught school, and continued to labor and teach until 1873, when he entered the State Normal School at Fairmont, where he finished the course and received his diploma June 1875. On his return to his adopted county, he was elected Superintendent of Free Schools: and the schools so prospered under his able management that the people recognized his true worth, and although a Democrat in a Republican County. they re-elected him for another term of two years. He taught at the Weston Academy one term, and was principal of the West Union Graded School in 1876. In the meantime, and at the solicitation of his former employer, Judge Stuart, he read law with him: was examined by Judges Charles S. Lewis, Okey Johnson and James M. Jackson, Jr., who licensed him to practice May 22, 1877. He immediately entered into partnership with Judge Stuart, this social relation lasting until the Spring of 1886, since which time he has been conducting business alone. He now stands at the head of the bar of this county, and has taken part in most of the criminal cases. "He was appointed by Governor A. B. Fleming. Judge Advocate of the First Regiment. West Virginia National Guards, with the rank of Major, and as such member of the Governor's staff, in which capacity he attended with the Governor and staff the dedication of the World's Fair Buildings. At the close of Governor Fleming's term he resigned the trust. "Mr. Blair is a stockholder and attorney for the West Union Bank. He took an active part in its organization. He is interested in the oil development of his county, owns real estate in and out of town, the accumulation of his own labors. "Mr. Blair has been Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee for over ten years, and has often been favorably mentioned by the press for Congress for the First District and for Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit. Politically, he is never found working for himself, but always for some friend. Socially he is a Mason, being a Knight Templar, Thirty-second Degree, Scottish Rite, and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. He is also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias Lodges. "Mr. Blair is small of stature, weighs about 133 pounds, complexion fair, eyes gray, expression open and frank. He attributes his success to his early application to studv, to his industry, the aid of a devoted wife, the patronage of the good people among whom he lives, and the indulgence of the Creator of all." | BLAIR, Jackson VanBuren (I75330)

| 333 | "Our subject received his primary education in his native county and when fifteen years of age moved with his parents to West Virginia, and settled in Harrison County, near Clarksburg, when that city was but a village of few houses. He early became familiar with carpenter tools and worked with his father for many years. Later he went to Clarksburg and followed carpentering and cabinet-making and continued there until the organization of Doddridge County, when he came to West Union. This was in 1845, and here he has continued to make his home since, a period of over half a century. At that time he had few tools to work with, but he soon opened a cabinet shop -- a friend assisting him in this undertaking -- and carried that on with carpentering for some time. Later he engaged in the undertaking business in connection and has followed that for forty-five years, although now retired from the active duties of life. About 1861 he began merchandising and carried this on until 1888, when he closed this out, but continued in the furniture business a few more years. He has been engaged in various enterprises and has met with fair success in all. For some time he was in the saw mill business, blacksmithing, hotel business and farming. He owns a large farm in this county, another one in Harrison County, and owns the Grant House in West Union. Although practically retired from active business life, he still superintends his business affairs and is one of the most enterprising and successful men in this part of the State. During the Rebellion, his was the only store in this place and he sold about $200,000 worth of goods per year for two years then. ... Our subject is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a non-affiliating member of the Masonic fraternity, and a Republican in politics.

| 336 | "Red dirt" music legend and Doddridge County native Bob Childers was born in West Union on November 20, 1946, a son of Howard and Rhea (Gaskins) Childers, and a nephew of beloved teacher and local historian Alton Childers. Bob resided in Doddridge County until age seven, when he moved with his family to Oklahoma. After studying music at UC Berkeley, he eventually returned to Oklahoma, where he built a loyal following that eventually spread nationwide. He is often called the godfather of red dirt music, or "Dylan in the dust," for his primary role in establishing the red dirt genre of Oklahoma music, a combination of folk, blues, rock, and country that has a unique Oklahoma lyrical sensibility. As Allmusic.com's reviewer Erik Hague put it: "With his weathered, rootsy songcraft, Bob Childers is considered the godfather of Red Dirt Music, as a hard to define, I-know-it-when-I-hear-it blend of country, rock and folk that Oklahoma claims as its own." Before his passing in April 2008, Bob Childers was inducted into both the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame and the Woodie Guthrie Festival Hall of Fame. His music is available at Amazon.com and at his label's website: http://www.binkyrecords.com/index.php/bob-childers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Childers http://omhof.com/Inductees/BYYEAR/tabid/86/ItemID/7/Default.aspx | CHILDERS, Robert Wayne "Bob" (I78547)

| 342 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries Through 1993" contains conflicting entries regarding the death date and burial location of Davidson C. Riddle. On p. 655, he is identified as D. C. Riddle (husband of Lucinda), burial at Spruce Creek Old Baptist (aka Smith) Cemetery, no dates. On p. 594, he is identified as Davidson C. Riddle (husband of second wife Rebecca Clevenger), burial at Mt. Olive (Old) (aka Dunkard) Cemetery, born Sep 20 1833, died 1923. Other sources have reported a death date of Feb 28 1919. We have found neither a death record for him nor a record of a second marriage, other than the birth record of daughter Levina. His headstone, showing only a birth date of Sep 20 1833 but no death date, is found at Mt. Olive Cemetery (old, aka Dunkard), as shown by a photograph posted on Findagrave. His second wife, Rebecca, is also buried there. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7073984/davidson-c_-riddle | RIDDLE, Davidson C. (I82183)

| 343 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993" reports birth date as 1826. But age 21 at 1850 Census would put birth date at about 1829, and 50 at 1880 Census would put it at about 1830. | MAXWELL, Frances Jane (I34139)
