The Effingham family is a great mystery. My husband and I have been searching for at least 10 years now. There is a concentration of them in this tri-state area (WV, OH, KY), all related but the great ancestor of them all, George W. Effingham, is a mystery. He was born ca early 1800s, married Catherine Fielder, b 2/1822, 2/13/1851. He disappears after that. Later records indicate he is dead, Civil War? I believe he is connected to the New England Effinghams but unable to make a link because we are unable to travel to do research. If you have any information, I would be happy to share with you what we have to see if both of us can find common ground.

I have never been able to find the parents of my Hannah EFFINGHAM who was born June 17, 1811 in Syracuse, New York and died Dec 20, 1891 in Hopkins, Missouri. She was married in Syracuse, New York to Edwin NEGUS. I have checked Syracuse records and have been down to Hopkins but nothing mentions her parents. Can anyone give me any help or guidance, thank you very much.

Hi, Pamela

I don't think I ever saw your new e-mail (hope it is still the new one you posted). In regard to Abraham Fielder, his daughter Catherine married my hus gggg-father George Effingham in Giles Co., Va. They had 4 children; James, Jasper, Ann and John. He disappears from all records. Catherine comes to Lawrence Co., Ky with her father Abraham. He remarries as her mother dies in MacGoffin, Co., Ky on the way. We have been to the cemetery where he is buried. If you will contact me, we can share what we have. Catherine's second husband, Michael Thompson, states on the children's marriage licenses that their father is dead. ? Hope to hear from you soon.

Tim, my hus Jerrell Simmons is dir desc of George & Catherine, they were married Giles Co, Va, had James, Jasper & Ann, then nothing more on George. My hus mother is Maxine (fam line is George, James, Sarah, LeRoy, Maxine and Jerrell), If you have pictures or any info on Catherine or George I wd be grateful for the help. I have someone trying to help w/research, we think he may have died in CW. Law Co OH marriage records for children indicate their father deceased. My hus and I have bn to Catherine's father's grave, we think she is buried in Spring Hill but not certain. Do you know where the store was on Davis St that Jasper owned? We live outside of Ceredo and Jerrell's mother still lives on 28th St in Huntington.

To Marlene: If you are still researching George W. Effingham please contact me. I am beginning to research my family tree and could sure use some help. My fathers name is Clifford Effingham and Jasper was his great grandfather. We live in Huntington, WV. Our research has pretty much hit a dead end with George. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, John,
I tried to e-mail you but returned undeliverable. If you would e-mail me the info you have on the Effinghams I will try to find missing links. Aren't too many Effinghams. I'm contacting Giles County courthouse today to see if they have origin of George on his marriage license. Long shot. There were Effinghams in Windsor County, Vermont; Hampshire County, VA (now WV)and Giles and Wise Counties, VA. I have worked on both sides of my husband's and my families. Great success except for the Effinghams.
Have a nice day!
Marlene

Thanks

I don't know. The only information I have is from a Giles Co., Virginia marriage record. States that Catherine Fielder b 2/1822 m George W. Effingham 2/13/1851. The family has no other information on him. He disappears from the scene and she is remarried in Lawrence Co., Ohio 11/20/1863 to a Michael Thompson. George and Catherine had 3 children: James, Jasper and Anne. On their marriage licenses in Ohio their father is listed as dead. Have no idea where he came from or where he went. Catherine was a Fielder and she came from VA to OH with her father, Abraham Fielder. By the way, there is now a message board of the www.genforum.com for the Effinghams. I finally got them to post it. Thanks for responding. If you can help further, I would appreciate it or maybe an area I can check. By the way, the 1860 Wise Co., VA census lists another George W. Effingham (child) and there is someone in VT (I think)named George W.

Is the W. a connection? My Grand Father was William Henery Effingham of London Ont. Canada Could they be Brothers or Cousins?
