James ROSS married Catharine KUYKENDALL (spelling not certain)
about 1850. She was said to be a native of Barbour County. Her
father may have been Simmeon KIRKENDALL who was living in
Randolph County in 1840. She was born 5/2/1833. In 1850 she
was living with James (age 26) and Hulduh (age 25) YOKUM and
their son Creed (age5) in Harrison County. Hulduh may have been
her sister.
Robert C.
Sollars Fri Nov 15 18:41:42 1996
WILLIAM SOLLARS: When the Revolutionary War began, placing us on
the road to independence, William was a lad of 16 years. The
following year, September 5, 1777, he enlisted in Captain David
Arell's Company, 3rd Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel Thomas
Marshall, of the Virginia Continental Line. William's enlistment
papers record the Sollars surname as Swallers, beginning what would
prove to be one of numerous mis-spellings during his service
indicating William was not literate. He served in the Rev. War from
1777 through 1779. He wintered at Valley Forge, and saw battle in
New Jersey and New York. William Sollars/Sollers is found in the
Tax Rolls of Berkeley Co., VA (WV). TAX ROLLS: WILLIAM SOLLERS -
1782 Tax Payer Records, Berkeley County, Virginia (now WV): 1 poll,
0 slaves. WILLIAM SOLLERS - 1783 Tax Payer Records, Berkeley
County, Virginia (now WV). 1 horse, 2 cattle, no land.
WILLIAM SOLLARS - 1786 Tax Payer Records, Berkeley County, Virginia
(now WV). 1 WH. 2 horses. WILLIAM SALLARS - 1787 Tax Rolls,
Berkeley Co., VA (charged with tax:Robert Rutherford) NOTE: William
visited on 04/28, Robert (below) visited on 04/28. William was two
doors away from Robert. Was William a share croper or an overseer
for Robert, below? ROBERT RUTHERFORD - 1787, Berkeley Co., VA Tax
Rolls: self charged. 1-11- 5-29-28 [legend: White males above 16
yrs and under 21 yrs (1).; black above 16 yrs (11); blacks under 16
yrs (5)); Horses, mares, colts & mules (29); cattle (28).]
William Sollars is in the 1820 Census of Harford Co., MD (page
065). This is adjacent to Berkeley Co., VA (WV). This is most
likely our subject, suggesting that he was something of a nomad,
moving from place to place. This would explain why he fails to
appear in many of the census rolls in Ohio, where he died in 1833.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can help further my
knowledge of this man.

My grandfather William Milton BURLEY was born in Barbour Co on 23
December 1870. He was the son of James Clark BURLEY of Zanesville,
OH and Virginia McPHERSON of Wood Co, WV. The problem is I have
not been able to prove this connection. I need help in locating a
record of his birth. Sometime after the birth of my grandfather
the family moved to Davis, WV. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

I am looking for more information on a family headed by Isaac TETER
and his wife (possibly Sarah, possibly Mahala JUDY) who are found
in the 1860 Barbour County census according to some old family
history I have. The children include Saul, Paul, Garret...Garret
is my GGGF. I am trying to find more info on this family and find
out if this Isaac is, for sure, the same Isaac who is buried in
Pendleton Cty. WV and who was married to Mahala JUDY who is also
buried in Pendleton Cty. The siblings of my GGF (Garret's son),
Commodore, were said to have mostly remained in WV and so there are
probably some relatives out there in the Barbour/Pendleton County
areas still!

Hi, Looking for the parents of Robert LEWIS. He was born around

information greatly appreciated. Willing to share what we have.

I'm looking for information on a second marriage of my ancestor
Catherine SILVIN c. 1810-26 in the Barbour County region.
Her maiden name is SIMON, and she first married Adam
RADABAUGH c. 1793 (perhaps in Pennsylvania). They purportedly
moved to Chillicothe, OH, where Adam died, but Catherine and the
children returned to today's West Virginia. There she shows up in
the 1850 census (with a son, Jacob Radabaugh), but now she
has the name Catherine Silvin (not Radabaugh) and is 75
years old.

I am searching for information on Aaron McDANIEL who was a veteran
of the war of 1812 and lived in Monongalia Co. I believe he was
buried in the McDaniels Cemetery at Stone House and that his
remains were moved to Marys Chapel Cemetery in 1937 when the Tygart
Dam was constructed. I believe he was the son of David McDaniel who
in 1790 ran the McDaniels Ferry on the Tygart River at Cecil
Station just south of Grafton. Further I believe he is the Father
of Aaron S. McDaniel (1791-1866) of Shinnston, Harrison Co., and
the grandfather of Aaron McDaniel (1822-1910) who married Satiria
GLASSCOCK in Barbour Co in 1845. Confirmation of any of the above
or any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Gene
