My father, Jack A. Bosley (son of William and Ruth EVERETT BOSLEY) married Eleanor CORLEY. I have most of her CORLEY line back to the early 1700's, appearing in Culpeper County Virginia and then on to West Virginia.
Ruth EVERETT born at Bayard, WV 1894 - d. 1973 is the daughter of O.J. EVERETT 1861 - 1915 and Sarah EDWARDS 1872 - 1942.

Then, I married a CLEM. His family is from Lewis County West Virginia. Hugh "Lefty" Clem, my husband's grandfather, was sheriff of Lewis County for 8 yrs. His great grandfather is James Garfield CLEM born 1881, (married Mary DAUGHERTY). James Garfield Clem's parents were John William CLEM born Dec. 16, 1848 and Margaret E. BUTCHER born Sep. 1847.
Hugh "Lefty" CLEM married Evelyn Hope BUTCHER of Lewis County. She is the daughter of George S. BUTCHER 1870 - 1927 and Theresa L. BAILY. George S. Butcher is the son of Michael Ervin BUTCHER b. 1839 and Anna E. BANKHEAD b. 1845. Michael Ervin Butcher is the son of Paulser BUTCHER 1815 - 1882 and Margaret SIMPSON 1816 - 1911.
