I am
trying to find out more about the Hiram/Harmon TWIGG and Mary Ann (Mollie)
HUDSON/HUTSON. They married in Cumberland 9/4/1871 and shortly thereafter moved
across the river to Doe Gulley, WV (near Paw Paw). I am trying to find out who
Mary Ann's parents were. I understand there were Hudsons in Allegany Co. from VA
and PA. In the census records, Mary Ann is listed as PA born with her father
being born in DE and her mother born in VA (may have later become WV).

Joseph & Florence (HARE) SHARON, daughter of Aurelia HARE, were my
great-grandparents and lived in Little Orleans, Allegany Co., MD. They are
buried in the Martin Cemetery at Little Orleans. Joseph and Florence had all
their children in Morgan Co. in the Magnolia - Paw Paw area. Joseph worked for
the Railroad and I understand they lived in a company house close to the
railroad and canal in Little Orleans.
I understand they rolled back the
rugs and had dances at their house for the neighborhood to play music, dance,
sing and had a great time. One lady I met went to school with Joseph and
Florence's two grandchildren, which they raised. Their names were Adeline and
Pansy. One of these granddaughters' husbands used to be a mail carrier for

Looking for long lost cousins;
My grandfather,
John Hiram COLEMAN was born in Cumberland, Allegany County Maryland on the 12
Dec.1849 and was orphaned sometime before the 1860 census. His death certificate
lists his parents as Jesse Hiram COLEMAN and Margaret KELLY born about 1831 both
in Maryland.
Being orphaned at such a young age, he didn't remember much
about his family, but was thought to have 3 brothers and a sister. Any help
running these down would be appreciated.
On the 1850 Allegany Co. census
he and his parents were living in the household of Jeremiah and Liza Ann COLEMAN
born about 1805 and 1796. Jeremiah was born in PA and is shown on the 1830
census as living in Cumberland, but is not shown on the 1840 census, but is
shown again on the 1850 census. Did they just miss him?
Does anyone have
information on this family or other COLEMANs or KELLYs living in Cumberland at
this time? Or does anyone have a cemetery inventory of this area that deaths and
dates could be found?
Would like to correspond with anyone with
information about COLEMANs or KELLYs.

Mahulda married Wm. Franklin ELINE. She died
10/17/1930 and is also buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Cumberland with her
husband who died 7/19/1928.
Emily was Saley's (Sala's) wife. She was
another TWIGG that married a TWIGG. She was the youngest daughter of Harrison

Horn(e) Cemetery in Magnolia, WV. The Rose Hill Cemetery Book has descendants of
theirs listed so I am hoping there are still Hares in the Cumberland area.
Hineman was born June 1829 and died 1910. Hineman is not listed in the
Morgan Co., Census-1850. The 1860 Morg. Co. Census states Hineman was born in PA
and the 1870 Morg. Co. Census states he was born in VA. The first actual
documentation I have of Hineman is his marriage to Lucinda KERNS, daughter of
Henry and Mary KERNS, on July 23, 1851 in Morgan Co. WV. Lucinda must have died
by 1860 because Hineman and two sons, John W. age 8 and Thomas age 3 are living
in household #59 with Wm. Jasper FLORA, age 28 (Railroad Worker) and Mary Flora,
age 52, probably Jasper's mother.
The 1870 Morg. Co. Census have Hineman
and Aurelia living in household #44. Hineman's age is 40, Aurelia's age is 20,
John W. is 18, Thomas is 12 and their first born together Florence is 4.
Florence is my great-grandmother that married Edward Sharon. A note of interest:

cannot find a marriage license for Hineman and Aurelia in the Morgan Co.
records. Is there anyone researching the Hares that might be able to help me? I

in the 1870 Allegany Co. Census as lock tender. Twigg Hollow is located around
Lock 60. His son, Albert is also listed in the 1870 census as a lock tender but
not living in the same household. Harrison's son, Moses is listed in the 1870

They were not lock tenders

I am looking for some primary
source information that confirms that Henry T. BEALL was the son of Isaac BEALL
of Allegany (now Garrett) Co. Henry was born in 1824, the year after his
grandfather, Thomas of Samuel, willed his grandchildren his property. He and his
younger sister Marie are consequently not mentioned. I couldn't find a will for
Isaac, his father, who died in 1850. The probate records had 3 entries in which
Isaac was named judge to the Orphans' Court, in addition to an administration of
his estate ...which Henry T was one of the two administrators. But the latter,
did not indicate the relationship.
The 1900 census indicated he was born
in WV and yet from land records, I know the family was around Allegany Co. in
the mid 1800's. In the index, I see Henry (of Isaac) bought land from Henry B.
Bruce (Deed book 2, p.379). Would that deed state more specifically that Henry
was the son of Isaac?
I found Henry living with an unrelated family in
Allegany Co. in 1850 but have been unable to locate him again before 1879 when
he moved to Nebraska. The only exceptions are again land records (Book24, p. 445
and Book 31, p.191). However his two sons indicate they were born in Emmitsburg,
MD and Staunton VA around that time.
Any help fleshing out Henry's story
would be much appreciated....his wife's name...his whereabouts after 1850...etc.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this.

Are there any records of a William or David PORTER around there? David was

Pickaway Co., OH from about 1810 - 1839. She moved to Piatt Co., IL, with her

her death. Her husband, Roswed MADDEN, died about 1818 on a trip to New Orleans.
He served in the War of 1812 while living in Pickaway Co., OH. Richard MARQUISS
may be William Marquiss's father. Richard MARQUISS owned property in Hampshire
Co. WV and in Allegany Co., MD. The two counties are adjacent.
I found a
"Rosewide" Madden listed on an 1802 Hampshire Co.,WV, tax list (1 white tithable

would link his family to the Hampshire Co/Allegany Co area. Roswed and Martha's
oldest child, John S. MADDEN Sr., said he was born in the Old Dominion in 1805.
There is a William MADDEN listed in the 1800 Allegany Co., MD, federal census.
He may be Roswed's father. The Mormon CDROM Ancestral Files database lists
William MADDEN as Roswed's father and a Jonathan MADDEN as Roswed's younger
brother. The person who entered this information in the Mormon database is no
longer living at the address given so I've not been able to determine which

I've found many different possible spellings for n. In
Pickaway Co. records he has been referred to as "Rosswood", "Rozwood",

1871, Hiram/Harman TWIGG m. Mollie (Mary Ann) HUTSON, also of Allegany Co. They
were married by James Higgins, Minister according to the marriage license. Can
anyone tell me with which church James Higgins was connected? Also, I cannot

Date posted: Thursday, April 30, 1998
In an earlier
request to all NICELY researchers, I was trying to find a Richard NICELY born
circa 1825-1830 married to a Rebecca. They supposedly had a daughter named
Orleana, born 1853 (my great grandmother). Orleana lived to the ripe old age of
92 (died in 1945) at which time her children gave info for obit. & death
certificate. They named her father as Richard NICELY - mother Rebecca NICELY.
On Tuesday of this week I traveled to Allegany Co., Md. and learned the
following from the 1850 census. A Rebecca NICELY was living in Allegany Co. in
District # 7 (probably Oldtown, Md.). Living in this household were the
following Nicelys: Abram, born 1824; Rebecca, born 1828; Sarah, age 1, born 1849
(probably the daughter of Abram & Rebecca) Clarissa, born 1830; Jackson, born
1833; Julianna, born 1835 and Christina, born 1793 (probably the mother of all
but Rebecca and Sarah). She would possibly have been the wife of Michael NICELY,
Sr. Orleana, my great grandmother was not born until 1853 which explains why she
is not listed. There was no Richard NICELY listed.
I also found numerous
deeds which showed that a Michael NICELY, Sr was the father of Michael NICELY,
Jr., Abraham, Julianna, Jackson, William, Mary and possibly Eli. I also learned
from one of the deeds that Abraham NICELY was married to Rebecca.
I also
learned that a Rebecca NICELY married Richard DEAN in 1857, four years after my
great grandmother was born. Apparently Abraham NICELY died and Rebecca
remarried. A Rebecca DEAN conveys property to Orleana (NICELY) TWIGG and her
husband in 1881and from this it seems that Rebecca DEAN is the mother of
Orleana. I believe that when Orleana died, her children could not recall the
first name (Abraham) of their grandmother's first husband. They only knew their
mother's maiden name was Nicely, and they probably remembered the name Richard
since Richard DEAN outlived Abraham NICELY. They therefore gave the name of
Orleana's father as Richard NICELY instead ofAbraham NICELY who fathered
Orleana. Abraham would have died sometime between 1853 and 1857, the year
Rebecca remarried. I hope to find a death certificate for Abraham NICELY as well
as for Richard DEAN.
Does anyone have information on Michael NICELY, Sr.
I have found a Michael in the 1810 and 1820 census for Botetourt Co., VA. I
could not find him in Virginia in 1830. Perhaps he left for Maryland at that
time. By 1840 I find a Michael NICELY living in Bath, VA. Does anyone know who
his parents were and whether this could be the same Michael NICELY, Sr. whose
property called "Yankee Hall" was being deeded over to his children between 1850
and 1860?
Does anyone have any information on any of these Nicelys? I
would appreciate any help you can give me.

I've reached a roadblock trying to find out more about Henry J. WADE. He and
Mary had 11 children. One of his sons, Charles (1855-1904), is my great

Ireland, that served for 7 years in the Revolution.That's the same length of
time I have listed from an old letter. However, the Bible also says he was known
as G.F. LOVE (Grandfather Love??)
In the PA Archives Series 5, I found a
reference to a Sgt. Rob. LOVE who was in the Bedford militia under Capt. Thomas
FERGUSON. The "G" listing was Gabriel LOVE.
Also, found a reference to
Henry and Robert LOVE, and a Jacob LESHER who were Contintental Troops in the
Artillery. Henry was a gunner who lost his left leg in the Battle of Yorktown.
Jacob and Robert were listed as "Matross". What's a matross??
Anyone out
there have any data on Henry or Robert LOVE? Or Gabriel? I have checked the
Abstracts for Rev. War Pensioners. There is no Robert (or G.F.) LOVE who was
born in Ireland; they were born in the South. Any ideas? Thanks,

I am Ed
DANISON of Gahanna, OH, born in Perry County in 1939. I have been researching my
line for about 10 years. My main gap in the line is uncovering the links between
certain males in the Flinstone locale during the period 1790 - 1810. If anyone
can provide clues to unlock this mystery, I would be greatly indebted.
In
the 1800 census, Allegany County, there were four males all spelling their
names: DANNISON. Samuel appeared to be was greater than 45 years old at the
time. He resided there until his death circa 1824. Three more DANNISON's were on
the same census as heads of households, all listed about the same age range (26
- 45) moved to Perry County, Ohio about 1812 - 1817. They were Jarret, John, and
Fred.
Based on that census alone, Jarret had the largest brood - four
sons under 10, one son 10 - 16, and one male 26 - 45 (most likely himself). In
that same family were one daughter less than 10, one 10 - 16, one 16 - 25, and
one lady 26 - 45 (most like his wife Martha).
Jarret is not on the 1810
census in Allegany. He is on the 1820 census of Perry County, Ohio, and owned 40
acres near Glassrock, Oh. A deed indicates he sold that property to Jeremiah
WILSON Jr in 1838.
From CHAPTER XXVI, History of Perry County (Ohio)
compiled in 1889, page 195: " Hopewell township was originally organized as a
political unit in 1810. The following named persons were residents of the
township as early as 1816 or 1817. John Jonas...Thomas Kendal, Abisha DANISON
(my gg grandfather), Jared DANISON, Wm DANISON...Asa Wilson, Lewis Wilson ,
Isaac Wilson, James Wilson..."
In the biographies of the same history,
Jarret's grandson, Hiram reported the following brief history of his grandfather
and sire: "DANISON, Hiram, born in 1829, a farmer, Glenford post office,
(Hopewell township), OH is a son of the late venerable James DANISON, who came
to Hopewell township from Maryland in 1812, when his father Jared DANISON,
settled on section fifteen. The sons of this old pioneer (Jared) were William,
Jared, Asa, Elisha, and James, the father of Hiram DANISON. The daughters were
Elizabeth (Betsey), wife of John WARD, and a Mrs Petty."
Can anyone
assist me in understanding the relationship, if any of Jarret DANNISON to
Samuel? Is he a son, or nephew? Samuel's will does not mention his brothers, if
any, or Jarrett, Fred, or John.
Thank you in advance. I have information
on WILSONs in Perry County Ohio and some information on the WARD family, both
formerly of Allegany County Maryland.

family in Midland, MD in 1873, having 4 boys & 4 girls by 1886.
Their second
child, Bridget Mary STAKEM, (b. 6 Oct., 1875), married Michael Paul MURRAY on 20
Oct., 1896. Michael P. MURRAY was the oldest of 6 children born to Robert MURRAY
and Bridget (COSGROVE) Murray. R.M. Murray and Bridget Cosgrove were married 30
Dec., 1872 in Frostburg, MD. Their parents were: (his) Charles MURRAY and Nellie
(THOMPSON) MURRAY, and (hers) Michael COSGROVE and Mary (Mooney) COSGROVE.
Another person (unrelated to the previous names) that I am researching is
Michael Joseph MALAMPHY, (b. 1859) in Tipperary, Ireland. I was told that he
came to the U.S. at the age of 16 (?), about 1875. He worked as a miner in the
Allegany Mts., saved his money, and opened the Malamphy Bottling Co. in
Cumberland, MD. In the early 1880's, he married Elizabeth STANTON, who gave
birth to 6 children. She died, (date & cause unknown) and eventually M.J.
Malamphy re-married in 1901. His second wife was Minnie Laura GOODING, from
Culpeper Court House, Virginia. He and his new wife had an additional 6
children. Minnie L. GOODING was born in 1878 to George Washington GOODING &
Margaret J. (SPICER) GOODING. If you think that you are related to any of these
people, or have data on them to share, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Daniel LANTZ (died before 10 May 1824 and more likely,
before 1820 according to US Census records) married Margaret______ and had the
following children: John, Jacob, George, Sophia, Clarissa (1799-1854), Mary,
Margaret, Eliza, Susan, and Juliana. Lived in vicinity of Skipton (present-day
Old Town), Allegany Co., MD. George LANTZ was arrested 5 May 1827 near Oldtown
[sic], Maryland for the March 1824 murder of John GUSLER.
Sophia LANTZ
married George W DEVICMAN, 18 Sep 1827, Allegany Co., MD. Clarissa LANTZ married
George CATLETT, 3 Nov 1822, Allegany Co., MD. Clarissa and George are buried in
the Methodist Church cemetery in Old Town, Allegany Co. Mary LANTZ married Jacob
TAYLOR, before 10 May 1824. Clarissa LANTZ and George CATLETT are my 3rd
great-grandparents.
Seeking identity of parents of Daniel LANTZ and
identification of his wife's surname and parents. A family group sheet on file
with the NGS Library in Arlington, VA suggests that Margaret was a KIMBERLY.
Would like to hear from descendants of Daniel and Margaret or from anyone having
information that might determine the origins of Daniel and Margaret. Can provide
a list of descendants of this couple to interested cousins.
George
CATLETT's father, David, was born ca. 1753 in Prince William Co., VA with close
family ties in the lower Shenandoah Valley. There were LANTZ families in the
Shenandoah Valley, as well. Is Daniel connected to the VA families or is he more
likely connected to the PA families?
