BALDWIN
I'm researching my G-G-G grandfather Seymour BALDWIN of
Moorefield. I'm aware of a number of other BALDWINs in Hardy County in
the 1820-1850's but I am not sure of their relationships to each other.
Does anyone have any information on the family relationship between Wm.,
Harrison, Wesley, Seymour and Lewis BALDWIN in Hardy County during this period?

GLOVER
Can anyone tell me exactly where Bedford, or Bedford City, WV, is?
Mapquest doesn't list it, but I believe it is, or was, in Hardy.
This is the reason I ask. I have this email:
Individual Record FamilySearch? International Genealogical Index v4.02
Alfred GLOVER Sex: M
Birth: Abt. 1800 Hardy, Bedford, Virginia
Film Number: 1903949
But I can't find Bedford. Also, I suspect that he was not born in Hardy
County, but that his parents moved there after 1815.
Also, I found these two postings for Bedford WV, but don't know if they are
correct:

associated with a forge or furnace in the area.

EFAW - EPHAUGH - FAW
I have just talked to the Sheriff Department in Hardy County who
collect the taxes and they tell me no taxes before 1900 are available to the
public. They are in storage. I wonder if you know of anyone who has
copied early tax records. David EFAW bought land in Harding County in 1795
from Peter and Susannah HEINE (Teise), 79 acres on waters of Jordan Creek,
a drain for the North Branch of the South Branch of Potomac. The Court
House cannot find where the land was ever sold. I am looking for a death
date for David EFAW. He is not on the list on your site. A tax list would
show when the property was sold, but it is not available at the Court House.
That surprises me very much, as I have found them in other court houses.
Has a local Genealogy Society done any early work in the County? Any
help will be greatly appreciated. Betty Cronin JHCBLC@Juno.com

CHIPLEY - DIXON - HARNESS - MOORE
My great grandmother's brother John James CHIPLEY was once the mayor of
Moorefield and was Captain in the VA 62nd Infantry during the War Between
the States. I have a very old picture which was in my great grandmother's
home and am still trying to find out just which house it was. It may have
been a home in Moorefield which later became a Funeral Home.
He was first married to Sallie V. HARNESS, I believe. He died in 1920, and I can give you his birth date from the Family Bible. I think several of the Chipley men were captured, for their record states "paroled" for their military service.
I am still seeking the marriage date of his grandparents, John DIXON and Margaret Ann MOORE (dau/Cato and Margaret COOK MOORE). I know that John DIXON lived in Jefferson Co., VA (WV) in the CharlesTown area later and was an attorney. It is possible their marriage occurred before Hardy became a county though.
Do you know anything about a very old home in Moorefield which later became a funeral home? John J.CHIPLEY is buried in Olivet Cemetery in Moorefield. Thank you, Anne Ponder

I own propery along the Lost River near Pine Ridge Road, between
Wardensville and Baker. The former owner (now deceased) told me the property
had been surveyed by George Washington and a corner tree still bore his
mark. I viewed this with skepticism until coming across several research
articles noting that much of Washington's surveying work 1749-1752 for Lord
Fairfax was along the Lost River. I would like to try to document if he did
survey this property and locate his plat description and/or map. I see from
several sources that about 75-100 of the 199 surveys he did in this region
exist and have been reproduced.
Where to start? How far back might a deed search in the Hardy County Courthouse take me? Any other guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

SEARS
I am trying to locate the inventory list compiled on the death of my

History of Hardy County, 1986 mentions material from this inventory list
on p.131, with a general footnote, p.138, no.6, to Will Books 1 and 4.
In my attempts to locate Will Books 1 and 4, I have contacted the genealogy
librarian at the Moorefield Public Library, and Ms. Sharon Link, County
Clerk, Romney Court House. Neither has these two will books, and neither
knows their present location. (Ms. Link sent me a xerox of my ancestor's
will).
I am writing to ask you if you can give me any suggestions as to the
present location of these two will books.
Thank you. Sincerely, Pamela Sears McKinsey
