I hope that I am not out of line by offering, but I have
just purchased the book HAMPSHIRE COUNTY RECORDS 1816-1923 VIRGINIA/WEST VIRGINIA by Vicki Bidinger Horton, and if anyone is interested, I would be glad to do lookups.

Contains information from Chancery and Guardian Bond books, newspaper abstracts and a big section listing deaths-date and year.

With all the McCauley/Baker discussion on the board and from reading it in the book I have become interested in this line and if I could help anyone I would be glad to do it.

I will be the first to take you up on the offer! I am looking for info about John GILL and Sarah CLARK. I do not know when or where they were born but I do know they lived in Cold Stream, WV at some point because my g grandfather James GILL was born there in 1877. Other children of John and Sarah are named John, Edward, Charles, and Clark GILL

Thanks!

Nikki,

Could you please look for a William FOLEY who died in Hampshire Co. abt. 1829-1830? I have a deed listing his heirs: widow as Catherine and children, Jasper, William, Isaac, Milly (m. Solomon MOORE), Sidney (m. Wm. PURGET). We believe there were about 13 other children by his first wife (name unknown) but have not found a link yet. My ancestor is their son, Jasper Foley who migrated to Clark Co. OH abt. 1855.

Thank you so much for offering to do lookups in your book.

I am also looking for anything on his widow, Catherine BALL FOLEY, daughter of Jasper BALL. I haven't been able to find anything on her death.

Is there mention of Daniel McLaughlin died 1814 or his wife Rachel? Or Daniel McLaughlin Jr. died 1830 or his wife Mary died before him? Is there a William French with an heir Catherine? Thank you so much for sharing.

Would there by any chance any Dowden records listed in your books.
Like John Dowden Jean Biggs or Jane Briggs.
Sons of John and Jean. John biggs, Otho, Thomas,Jane etc.
Otho married Jane Francis Cockerill.
Thank you
