User Home Pages: WVA , A Relative around every Bend in the Road......
Here you will find information that I have gathered mostly from the internet concerning my ancestors from West Virginia and Ohio. The surnames that I am researching come from the Randolph County West Virginia area: Phillips, Canfield, de Camville, Bright, Murphy, Bennett, Cross, Wilmoth, Schoonover. Taylor, Ware, Arbogast, Nelson, Coberly, Cubberly, Cunningham, Pearson, Stalnaker, Summerfield, Hayes. I have a few road blocks that perhaps someone could help with: 1. My greatgrandmother Eva Lenora Ware married Raymond Talman Taylor. Her father was David Lester Ware b aprx 1869. He married Melvina Arbogast B aprx 1873 inthe year 1890. They were from the Valley Head, WVA area. I have no further information. 2. Isaac Taylor b. 1781 married Elizabeth Hayes b 1804. Stories say he came from the Kentucky territory. I have no other information on either his family or hers. When did their families come to America? How did they meet and settle in Randolph Co? 3. Tallman Stalnaker b 1846 married Melvina Summerfield b 1844. His father was Garrison( Garrettson) , his father Isaac married to Stella Oliver. I don't have any evidence supporting this. The Stalnaker Family Websites don't mention any children for Isaac other than Asbury. 4. Alba B. Canfield b 1875 married Effie Belle Bright b1880. Their daughter Leecy Pearl was my great grandmother. I have no information on the Bright line of the family. 5. Leecy Canfield b 1905 married Alton H. Phillips b 1898. Alton's father was William S. Phillips b 1869 married ?. Will's father Andrew Phillips b 1837 married Rebecca Cross b 1836. Their other children were Henriettab 1866,andAngelica b 1867 married Henry Clay Phillips. Andrew's father was John Phillips b 1808 married to Elenor Smith. I have no other information on where this line of the Phillips family hailed from.
