I am seeking information on the KESSEL Family that came to
Hardy County circa 1782, although family tradition says they
came as early as 1748. First tax record gives name of Michael
Kessel in 1784. (Name was spelled KEZOIL). Where did this
Michael Kessel come from? Who were his parents? KESSEL is a
prominent Dutch-Flemish name. Were they Dutch?
I am also seeking information on Benjamin EVANS who came to Hardy
County circa 1800. He married Priscilla BOSLEY and they settled
at Greenland Gap, now in Grant County. They had one son Abraham
and family tradition says they also had a son Jacob and a son
Edward, who was known as NED. 1850 census of Hardy Co gives
Benjamin's birth state as PA. Who were his parents?
I have much information on the KESSELS who came after Michael and
on the descendants of the EVANS who came after Benjamin and will
gladly share. I also have all of the published histories on
Hardy County and will look up information for you and send
via Internet. I do not have Census records. Mike Foreman, a proud
descendant of the Kessels and Evans! Contact at E-Mail address or
write to 330 Beechcroft Road, Winchester, VA 22601.

LITTLE. Who were their parents and what was Delilah's maiden
name? Thanks.

Sollars Fri Nov 15 18:20:26 1996
SOLLARS: I wish to exchange information with anyone remotely
interested in this name. Thomas Sollars (1782VA-aft.1870) was a
rock mason. He had a tavern in Hardy Co., VA (WV) in 1805 which he
built himself and I understand it is still in part standing to this
day. It was on an old stage road. He served in the War of 1812,
raised a large family, one son being William Rutledge Sollars.
Thomas, it is believed lived out his life in Mineral Co., WV. As I
understand he was in the 1870 Census living in the home of his son,
Andrew Sollars in Mineral Co. Thomas' father was William Sollars,
who I believe moved to Ross Co., Ohio in 1799/1800.

My wife's great grandfather Isaac Wolverton REDMAN was
born 23 Oct, 1826 in Hardy County. He was in Greene Co. PA by 1852
where
he married Nancy JONES. He served in Co. B 7th WV Union and was
wounded
at the seige of Petersburg. After the war, Isaac's first wife died
and
he married Cynthia Ellen WILSON, daughter of Jacob WILSON of Greene
Co, PA and widow of Oliver KEENER. Isaac and Cynthia lived in Ohio
and in Parkersburg, WV before moving to a homestead in Wright Co,
MO
about 1885 where they lived the rest of their lives. Isaac had a
brother named
John C. M. REDMAN who wrote from Knox Co., IL in 1888. He had a
brother
Jesse REDMAN born in VA in 1805 who lived in Chillicothe, OH. A
sister
Ann SPEALMAN born 1815 who lived in Cumberland Co., MD. His mother
was named Ruth PARKER and according to Isaac's death certificate,
Ruth was born in Paris. Isaac's death certificate says his father
was
named Jesse REDMAN, but I have not found any older Jesse REDMAN in
any records except a tax record in the 1830's which could have been
his
brother Jesse. Isaac was supposed to be at least 1/2 American
Indian. One
cousin has heard he was Cherokee. The earlier REDMANs in Hardy
County records
were listed as "free colored" which was a designation used for
Indians as well as African Americans in those days. Who was Isaac's
father? What
was his ancestry? We have a picture of him and he was definitely
non-
caucasian with a dark complexion, but his pension file says he had
hazel eyes.
