This would Be Hettie Kathryn Murphy I think. Her parents would be Richard Dolphus Murphy and Pricey Elizabeth Deel. After Hettie was born the marriage broke up.

Hi Joyce,
After reading over and over again the information you sent me, than I understood what you were talking about when you said, the line that asked for someone who would know where he ( Ivy Clarence ) was at all times had the same address was Joe Vecchio. I misunderstood and thought that Joe was the one also researching the Snyders. I am so sorry I misunderstood what was written. So, Thanks again for you help. You are so kind.
Dianne

Re: Ivy Clarence Snyder married Gertrude Matilda Raymond

dsruth — 2010-02-06 23:50:05Z

Hi Joyce,
First I want to think you for the information. I am sorry I listed this message under Buchanan, Va. I meant to list it under Buchanan, W. Va. Thank you for bring that to my attention. You have been so kind it sending me this information I really appreciate it.
On my Grandmother Gertrude, I didn't even have where she was born, I just had the date. This Joe Vecchio you listed below, is he researching the Snyders and Raympnds?
Thanks again,
Dianne Snyder Rutherford

Re: Ivy Clarence Snyder married Gertrude Matilda Raymond

Joyce1812va1 — 2010-02-06 16:55:02Z

First off, my question is why did you list under Buchanan Va?

anyway... the first record I found was Ivy's ww2 draft record
he lived at 103 s. Mt. Vernon Ave, Uniontown, Fayette, Pa
he was 59 yrs old, 5'6'' and weighed 182 pounds
the line that asked for someone who would know where he was at all times had the same address, but no wife listed.
did not say if he was widowed/divorced.
the person's name was Joe Vecchio

your Ivy is found in the 1900 Buckannon WV census

SNYDER:
Oliver 43 b. 12/1856-va
Martha E. 33- b. 4/1867
Ivy C. 16
Roy F 15
Carrie May 13
Nellie B 11
Berlie H 8
Hurly A 6
Ishmaul R 3
Havard 1

all born in WV

the only census I can find that comes close to Gertrude Matilda Raymond is in Lyman MAINE
RAYMOND:
Charles P 56
Hannah 54
Gertrude M. 51
all born in Maine.

hope this has helped you

Re: Rowe & Dawson Cem.

My family names are Thompson and Ball. Thompson on my mothers side and Ball on my fathers side. I have been looking for information on the Balls from time to time, but I have never come across anything on the Thompsons. My grandfathers name was Fitchue Lee Thompson. That is how my mother spelled his name, although I believe it to be a bastardization of the name Fitzhugh. I believe my grandfather was a bit of a mystery to my mom as well as she never had much information about his side of the family. There were brothers but I have the impression they settled in other states.

Re: MORRIS

JoniTrees24 — 2010-02-04 16:14:51Z

Emily; I believe we may be talking about 2 separate Thomas's. He may have been married before. I do not know. But the child who falls outside the marriage is a girl named Delila. Thomas and Jane are in the 1850 Wayne County, KY census with several children. I have encountered the information about John and Nancy Pennell before but have been unable to connect with my info.

Re: MORRIS

emorris511 — 2010-02-04 03:04:16Z

I had heard the family originally settled in Casey county. Also, Nancy Jane moved from Missouri not Kentucky to California. I found her living with her son, Alonzo, after Thomas died. I know for a fact that she is buried in Ferndale in Humboldt County California. I would like to know where Thomas is buried if anyone would know and his father John.
Emily

Re: MORRIS

emorris511 — 2010-02-04 02:45:49Z

My great great grandfather, Thomas, had been married before. He has two children listed in the 1850 census, Rice who was born in 1836 and William born in 1836. I do not know the name of their mother. I have found them living in Missouri in the 1880 census. Rice is listed as a hardware merchant. William is listed as living with him and his wife Susan. Thomas married Nancy Jane Goode in 1844 in Lincoln County, KY. She was born on 2 Sept. 1827 and died on 23 August 1902 in Ferndale, CA. After Thomas died she left Kentucky and went to live with her son, John, my great grandfather in California. I found a Thomas Dow Morris, born 10 March 1812 in Lincoln, Londoun, Virginia. He died 11 June, 1892. His father is listed as John and his mother as Nancy Pennell. Someone else had this information, but I believe it is the same Thomas Morris. At this time Kentucky was considered a part of Virginia. Thomas and Nancy had numerous children around ten. Last summer I visited Lincoln County and found their former farm. There still is a farm to this day called Morris Farms. Thomas's father John came from Virgina and that's as far as I know. I had heard that my line was descended from Robert Morris and also the Lee family of which Robert E. Lee came. Most of the family was for the confederacy and some like my greatgrandfather for the Union, which is why he and others moved to Missouri because of the family division.

She had a child , Michael Franis Shaughnessy on April 4, 1892.She then moved to St.Louis,Mo. in the early 1900's. Her parent were Thomas and Louise Baldwin.

Re: MORRIS

JoniTrees24 — 2010-02-01 18:58:33Z

My Thomas Morris was born in 1794 in North Carolina or Virginia. He married Jane Brummett or Brunnitt on 04-15-1823 (Casey Co., KY). He died on 08-16-1857 in Wayne Co., KY. His father's name was John b:1768, and his mother's name was "Viney", both born Virginia or North Carolina. I know nothing beyond that. It is possible that Thomas could have been married before Jane since, if he was born in 1794 (confirmed per death certificate of Thomas), he married Jane at the age of 29. This is a little older than most in that day. Can you tell me the death date of Nancy Jane Goode. Also, did they have children? I have 2 children whose birthdates fall before the marriage (confirmed marriages of Casey Co.). The theory that Thomas could have been married previous to Jane is an interesting one. Thank You. Joni

Re: MORRIS

emorris511 — 2010-01-31 06:59:59Z

My great great grandfather Thomas Morris lived in Lincoln County, Kentucky before it became a state. It may have been part of Casey county then. He married Nancy Jane Goode in Lincoln County in 1844. I do not know the names of Thomas's brothers or sisters. I had heard that his father was John and the family came from Virginia. I don't know much beyond John, except that the family was connected to the Robert E. Lee family. The Morris family in Kentucky was divided during the Civil War. My great grandfather, John, moved to Missouri because of his support for the Union. Later, in 1886 he moved to California and settled in Ferndale. Later, he moved to El Cerrito where he owned a grocery store. I was wondering if the John Morris from Virginia would be the father of Thomas? Do you know the father of John? I am trying to trace my ancestry back further. My grandfather was Walter Robert Morris, and his sons were John Walter and Robert Lee who was my father.

Annie's middle name is Runnie. This is from my entry in my Family Bible, information given to me by my grandfather - Bill, Annie's husband.
You are correct in them having 5 children, I am the daughter of their oldest, Elder. From family information,
the infants that did not survive were all born prior to my dad. I have not been to the cemetery since I was very young. My Aunt Pauline had wanted all of us to go and we were planning that, however, we did not get the opportunity to do so before she passed away. Hope you and your family are doing well. Please stay in touch. Sincerely, Lois

I have some information on Annie and family. I have 5 children listed to this family. I would like to know Annie's Middle name. I have found it listed as Runyon and Rooney. John and Victoria Dawson also have infant twins buried at the top of the hill near Arch. I was told by Mom that there should be 2 wood markers there. They are not there now. I do not remember seeing markers for infant graves when I was there near Annie's stone. The grave yard is being taken care of by family in the area. I am the s/o Zella Dawson Daniels d/o John.

We are not sure if there are any markers for the babies, but my grandmother does have one. Thanks for sharing your information.

Thanks, I've tried and tried to find any Grady or Jane Johnson as entered into Ancestry. If you look at the actual death certificate (Ancestry online), I have no idea how they got Grady Johnson off of what's written. John

Re: Jane McClanahan

swvamtngal — 2009-12-14 16:12:47Z

Though I have both Justice and Justus in my tree as well as some McClanahans, I am not aware of any relationship with the Jane McClanahan and Mary Justice you are searching for.

HOWEVER: In the KY Death records on ancestry.com there is a Mary Justice b. 2 Nov 1857 Pike Co., KY who d. 2 Dec 1922 in Pike Co., KY. Her parents are listed as Grady Johnson and Jane McClanihan. Note the spelling of McClanihan. Apparently your Mary was a Johnson before she married a Justice.

Jane McClanahan

I'm hoping to find a marriage for a Jane McClanahan born ca. 1835 in Buchanan Co. I have a Mary Justice who died in Pike Co. KY in 1922, who lists the mother as Jane McClanahan, and the father is very unreadible. I'm hoping Jane was married here in Buchanan Co. most likely 1860-1870. Thanks for any help. Mary was born in Pike Co. KY, but because I don't have her surname, I'm struggling with this puzzle. John Blair

Jerry,

Death certificates show that Madison died March 15 of "chronic nephritis" and that Nance died December 8 of "acute nephritis". That's all I know currently. I've been trying to find the cemetery but have had no success. I've never found a marriage record either.

I saw "Madison Henderson Looney" in Tilton's Looney manuscript and then learned from an uncle that my grandfather was named Matt. I then found Madison and his children (including my Grandfather J. Paris Looney) in census records to confirm the verbal record and Tilton. However, I believe his middle name was Franklin or at least began with "F". Tilton's manuscript has an error - Henderson Looney was born next after Madison. A simple error in not hitting "return" on the typewriter keyboard threw us a curve!

Then I would probably send to Richmond and let them look.
Most of the ones for that period in Buchanan have been destroyed by floods, but they are on record in Richmond.

Several years ago, I need a death record for my Grandmother, for an application to a lineage society. I told them it was destroyed, because I had looked in Buchanan County and it was not there. At the time I didn't realize they had been kept since 1912, and my grandmother had died in 1915.
I was told to send to Richmond for the record, and I could use the letter I received, telling me none existed, to get around providing my grandmother's death record. To my total shock, I received a copy of her death record.....Buchanan Death Certificate # 2, dated 9 Feb 1915.
Now I don't know if they have some that are not numbered, but I am sure there were deaths in the county from 1912-1915.
So it might be worth it to check with Richmond.

I have been looking at the Kentucky records for years...with no luck. I just know that they visited family in Buchanan Co.from time to time and thought that maybe something may have happened while on a visit and the Death Certificate might have been in Va instead of Kentucky.

Again...thanks a lot

If the family is in KY 1910, and again in 1920, I would check the KY death records, first.
I am not sure if they are online.
I am not sure if Pike county would have those records, or if they would be found in Frankfort.

For those years, records can only be obtained from the Vitals Records in Richmond.
There is a form to be filled out and a fee for each one.
Do an interent for "Virginia Vital Records" and you should be able to locate the form. If not, email me and I will see if I can find the link.

Twins Elwood and Elenore Davis were born in Buchanan Co., VA on Dec. 23, year unknown. Each twin died at less than a month old. One may have d. that same Dec. and the other the week/weeks later in Jan. of the next year. The year[s] may have been one of these: 1949, 1950, 1951. or possibly 1953?
Their sibling Roslind Marie Davis, b. May (25?), year unknown, died the same unknown year in Nov.(17?) The year may have been between 1949-1951 or between 1953-1954.
Can you help?
Thank you.
