CRITES - PRINGLE - SANDRIDGE - WENTZ
My daughter and I are working on our family tree, my mothers family having come from Audra,
WV. I found several leads in the Barbour Co and the Allegheney Regional Family History
Society web pages to follow up on.
I would appreciate any information you have on the CRITES and SANDRIDGE families or other references you would suggest. I will be trying to research the CRITES side on the family first since the information we have only goes back two generations prior to my Grandfather. His father was the Rev. James David CRITES (born 1855), his grandfather was Abraham CRITES (unknown). There were two Abraham CRITES listed in the ARFHS records that may have been earlier ancestors that we will research.
I'll start with James, my Grandfather. James was born James David CRITES in Leading Creek, Randolph County, WV, father and mother being James David and Virginia Elizabeth (WENTZ) on 28 April 1892; he died on 1 November 1981. He gave up his middle name and initial after a fight with his father, James David, about politics the story goes. It appears that he even inked out reference to his middle initial in my family's book on Thomas Hall decendents. James married Iva Gertrude SANDRIDGE (I can use some help here also) on 25 December 1911in Audra, WV. My Grandmother Iva was born 1 February 1891 in Upsur County, WV and died 12 October 1978 in Audra, WV.
The only thing I have on my Great Grandfather James David and Great Grandmother are their birth years, 1855 and 7 June 1859 respectively. James David was the Reverend James David CRITES of the Baptist Church, Hall, WV. My Great Great Grandfather would have been Abraham CRITES, married to Nancy or Wealthy (PRINGLE), no dates known. They had thirteen children, James, Homer, Joseph, Ashbury, Marietta, Catherine, Rebbeca, Matha, Jane, Harriet, Peggy, Hanson, Stillman, John, Issac and Abram.
I would appreciate any information you have on the CRITES and SANDRIDGE families or other references you would suggest. Don Williams. E-mail:donw@pe.net

WILLIAMS. They were married June 10 1857 by Eli McWhorter at McKing's Run,
Harrison Co Va. She was fifteen and he 23 at the time of their marriage. The
marriage record I obtained for this couple shows David D. to be born to David
and Nancy ADAMS in Harrison Co. now Barbour Co. in 1835 and Viretta born in
Adams Co. Ohio to Jacob and Jane C. WILLIAMS.

CROSS - DELAUDER - GOFF - GRIFFITH - JOHNSON - KELLER -
LUZIER - MILLER - PHILLIPS - POLING - RAMSEY
I am new to this genealogy hobby, but want to find out much more. I'm trying to find a Sara Ann
CROSS (sister of Levi CROSS) who married my gggrandfather Allen PHILLIPS sometime prior
to 1852. Their first child (my ggrandfather) was born in 1852. I found a Civil War roster for
Company 'F' of the 15th WVA Volunteer Infantry that lists a Levi CROSS from Barbour County.
All of my paternal relatives are from Barbour, Tucker, Randolph, etc. I live in Nashville,
Tennessee and have been to the TN State Achives, but with no luck. I was told that Allen was
from Roane County, but can't find anything there either. Allen PHILLIPS and Sara Ann CROSS
Phillips had the following six children:
I have been told that my ggrandfather, Abram Hiram PHILLIPS married Margaret RAMSEY, daughter of Jackson RAMSEY and Jane KELLER and they had the following ten children:
So after all of this, I'm trying to get over my brickwall at Allen PHILLIPS. I can't get any further without finding out about him, his parents etc. I thought maybe I'd try to track him via some other sideof the family. Does any of this sound familar? Can you help?????

ABEL - JORDON - O'DONNELL
Maybe you can help me. I am looking for information on John Ernest O'DONNELL from Ireland
who lived near Clarksville. I show him married to Martha Ellen ABEL who was born in Cherry
Camp, Barbour County, West Virginia.
His parents were Anthony and Margaret McGonagle O'DONNELL from Ireland. Anthony and Margaret had at least nine children and some others of them may have come to this country. I show a Roseann O'DONNELL as a sister of John Ernest.
John Ernest O'DONNELL had 9 children but I have the birth dates of only three. Arlene, Joseph, Martha, Mary, Ruth, Virginia, John b:12/7/1892, Patrick b:3/2/1896 and my grandmother, Margaret b:6/15/1903. Margaret was sent to Iowa to live with an uncle at an early age. (Most of the information I have comes from Joseph Hugh O'DONNELL who was the uncle that Margaret was sent to live with. He was a Catholic Priest and a decorated WW1 veteran who live in Iowa.) This may have been after the death of her father. I believe that All of his children except to the second to the last were born in the Clarksburg area. One child was born in New York.
The baptisimal record for my Grandmother, Margaret Ann O'DONNELL says that she was born in North View, Clarksburg, West Virginia and was the daughter of John Ernest and Martha JORDON. Her death certificate lists her mother's name as ABEL. Margaret was baptised on Feb 11, 1909 at Church of Imaculate Conception in Clarksburg by Rev. J.A. Reynolds and her sponsor was Rose O'DONNELL.
According to my records he may have died in a mine accident on February 12, 1912. I was told that he and at least one son were killed in the accident. His occupation was glass blower in Ireland.
My parents have been looking through the records at the Mormon Temple in Mesa, Az and have had little success. If the family was indeed split up after the death of John Ernest, childrens last names may have been changed and it may be impossible to trace the family. My parents stopped by the courthouse in Clarksburg and were told that all the records had burned. Maybe somebody out there has the key. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

My genealogical search has led me to the TALBOTT family from Barbour County. My

Penelope SIPE (4/19/1854-??) and Alexander P. TALBOTT (10/2/1854-2/3/1933), whose
parents were Elam T. TALBOTT (1828-1913) and Kiziah "Kizzie" PROUDFOOT (1829-1903).
The only information I have on Elam T. and Kiziah are their birth and death years, which I
obtained from their headstones found in the Talbott cemetary of Barbour County. My randfather
once told me a long time ago that there was Cherokee Indian heritage in this lineage. Is there any

I see also that you are a Hardy County WV coordinator. Do you have any leads as to the early Heishmans and Sagers in that county. John HYSHMAN is my fifth great grandfather. His grandson was Dr. Abraham HERSHMAN who lived in Tacy changed his name to Hershman. To this point I find no other siblings who did change to Hershman they continued to use Heishman. I have three volumes of Hershmans as researched by Mavoureen Harshman (pub 1995), her late husband Col. Clarence Cory Harshman and his father before him who published the first work in 1932. The book is entitled The Harshman, Hashman, Hershman, Hersman, Hirshman, Hurshman, Hursman Family. Some of the Hershman's in this group did live in counties adjoining Barbour.

found the following information:
1860 Barbour County Census:
There is a Mary Thompson in the 1880 Barbour county census, but don't know if she is your
Mary Day Thompson:
Thompson, Mary (w), WF, 80, born in VA, as were both her parents
(I'm not sure if Hezekiah is actually her son, or if this is a different Mary Thompson. In the
"History of Barbour County, West Virginia" by Hu Maxwell (1899), their is a brief biography of
a
Hezekiah Thompson, but it lists different parents.
At page 486: "Hezekiah Thompson, born 1845, son of Henry and Mercy (Parrill) Thompson,
was married December 20, 1883, to August, daughter of John R. and Susan (Sinsel) Williamson.
He is a Baptist, a Democrat and a farmer, living three miles east of Phillippi, where he owns 200
acres of land, devoted to farming and grazing; it is underlaid with coal. Mr. Thompson was a
deputy sheriff twelve years, and two years township treasurer, and is an energetic and progressive
citizen."
I hope this information is helpful.

Mary Hitt sends you this reply to your query:
Residence 1048-1048 (Phillippi district):
THOMPSON, Mary, 35, VA, Widow
George W., 13, VA
Marcelas, 10, VA
Malvina, 16, VA
From 1850 Barbour County Census:
THOMPSON, Mary, 28, VA
Melvina, 6, VA
Gideon M., 3, VA
Marcellus, 1, VA
Sarah M. Day, 20, VA
(This 1850 information, showing Sarah M. Day residing with Mary Thompson is interesting,
because in the next residence is the family of John Day, age 30. Because of the ages, this led
me to suspect that Sarah is probably Mary Thompson's sister, and John her brother. I then
went to check the Barbour County Marriage records).
Thompson, Hezekiah J., WM, 36,son, teamster, VA
John R. Thompson married Mary Day, 19 Oct. 1843, in Barbour County, WV. So I suspect that
Marcellus' father was John R. Thompson and his mother was Mary Day. You should write to
Barbour County and obtain a copy of the marriage record, because John and Mary's parents may
be listed there. Ask them to send you a photocopy of the original record book (if possible) as well
as the official marriage record.
