I don't think Vince had any relatives in the area. He took off around 1977 to travel the world. At that time he was in his 60's. Please contact me at kgiansante@usa.net if you have any info about him or his family. . --------------------------------------------------

EDWARD (NED) HUGHES I am writing a book on Edward ( Ned) HUGHES b. ca 1767 d. 1839 m. 18 Oct. 1793 Nancy Foster b. 19 Feb. 1774.Lived in Kanawha and Nicholas Co., WV. I have fare records on his ancestors from son Madison to present. Willing to share all! I am attempting to clarify or find his father and grandfather. 1. An unknown source I have lists his father as Thomas Hughes b. 1740 d. 1793 m. Elizabeth (unknown) b. 1744 d. aft. May 1793. This takes me nowhere. 2. Don Norman (Hacker's Ck. Pioneer Desc.) (his site is temp. down) lists Ned as son of Thomas and Susannah Hughes. Thomas' first wife was Mary Baker. Thomas is reported as son of William who died in 1767 in Hampsire Co. VA. Will probated 9 June 1767.Wife believed to be Suda or Sudrah. Thomas moved to Hampsire Co. about 1750. Lived near "Lick Branch". Moved to Harrison Co. about 1755. Settled on Hackers Creek about 1773. Listed children: Sudna Sarah Jesse (famous indian fighter) Thomas Jr. Elias(Ellis) James Martha Charles Deborah Job Edward (my NED) 3. Ruth Cornell says Thomas had 3 wives. Elizabeth _______, Jane (Jean ) Hughes, Nellie Foster Children of Thomas: William (wife Mary foster) Robert Elizabeth (husband Abraham Jarrett) Edward ( my NED) Susanna ( husband James Reynolds) George Hughes (wife Margaret Johnston) Nancy Hughes (husband John Campbell) Thomas Jr. This man's will (22 May, 1793) lists only Thomas, Edward and Robert as sons. Have you been able to follow any of these lines? Would you venture any theories on who Neds parents are? Any aid would be appreciated. . --------------------------------------------------

We are seeking information on the CONTE and NELSON family, which lived in Nicholas County, WV., sometime between the 1910s and the 1920s. Specific individuals we're seeking information on are capitalized. SILVIO BRUNO CONTE, SR. (nicknamed "Sam") was born on the island of Ponza, Italy, on October 23, 1894. His parents were CAMILLO CONTE (b. about 1875 in Italy?) And FRANCIS SCOTTI (b. about 1875 in Italy?). After emigrating to the USA (between 1910-1912), sometime between 1918 and 1920 he became a coal miner, and married BERTHA NELSON (b. between 1893 and 1900 in Ireland). They had four children in the areas of Richwood, Mallory, and Huntington, West Virginia: 1) LUCILLE AMELIA CONTE, b. 1920. 2) HAROLD "Red" CONTE, b. 1921. 3) JOSEPH BENJAMIN CONTE, b. 1923. 4) FRANCES CONTE, b. 1925. Bertha died between 1925 and 1927, perhaps in WV or PA. We do not know her parents' names or where she was born in Ireland. But we are desperate to learn anything we can about her! Sometime in the late 1920s, Silvio Sr. then married his 2nd wife, DULCIE ELIZABETH WALKUP, who was born on March 25, 1907 in Renick (Greenbriar County), WV. Together Silvio and Dulcie had 8 children (perhaps in or around the areas of Richwood, West Virginia and/or Ellsworth, Pennsylvania): 1) MARY GILDA CONTE, b. November 1925. 2) AMELIA CONTE, born in Richwood, WV, perhaps in the late 1920s. 3) AUGUSTINO CONTE. 4) DAVID CONTE. 5) SILVIO CONTE JR. 6) EUGENE CONTE. 7) JAMES CONTE. 8) DANIEL CONTE. In 1943, Silvio Sr. and Dulcie moved to the Detroit, Michigan area, where most of their children, now grown, are still living. On October 10, 1975, Silvio Sr. died in Detroit (of a heart attack). Dulcie died on August 28, 1989, in Warren, Michigan. Dulcie's parents were OSA (or OTIS?) WALKUP (b. January 28, 1874, in Greenbriar County, WV) and UNA RUCKER (b. 1884, in Greenbriar County, WV). If you have any information pertaining to any of the above individuals (even if you're not related), please contact us. We would very much like to complete our family tree and connect with relatives. . --------------------------------------------------

Am looking for information on JOHN EVERETTE SIMS, married to MARY MATILDA BROCK, lived in Summersville, parents of my grandmother, LEOLA MAUD SIMS,born 7/27/1904, who married Elbert Belcher in Kanawha County. John and Mary had several other children, including Sterling, George, Flora and Lena. I found a JE SIMS listed in the Southern Methodist Church Cemetery records but don't know if it's the one I'm looking for or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've been unable to find out any information about my grandmother's family.

Hello, I am trying to find out how my family ended up with the last name of LANG. What I know is: My GGrandfather was Carl Guy LANG(born in 1892/93 in West Virginia). The majority of his immediate decendents were born and/or buried in Nicholas County. Carl Guy's mother was Elizabeth PERKINS. Carl Guy was illigitimate -- with his mother never revealing who his father was. However... Carl Guy was given the surname of LANG (which Elizabeth never used). We have only one possible "family story" lead. Apparently there was a Nelson LANG who owned/ran Weirton Steel. This is the only clue I have as to the possible origin. I can find no other LANG surnames in the area. Other information (just in case it is helpful): Carl Guy married Bessie ARMENTROUT in approximately 1910 (she died in 1937 and is buried in Blacks Chapel Cemetary in Nicholas County) and had Roy Lew LANG. Bessie was the daughter of Lorenzo Jerdan and Virgina Elizabeth ARMENTROUT. After Bessie's death, Carl Guy married Lucy TETER (approximate marriage date 1939). These families lived in the Nicholas County area. Carl Guy LANG died approximately 1976. He died in Stuebenville, OH while living in a nursing home. If you can be of any help, I would be appreciative. Aside from the obvious brick wall (which can never be torn down) -- it is pretty strange to have the last name of some unknown, unrevealed person. Thank you very much. . --------------------------------------------------

I am looking for information on a Chloe SPENCER that was born about 1903 in and around the Richwood,WVA. area. She might have been a traveling Health Nurse. She was for a time 1925 to 1928 in Nashville,Tnn. After that time there in no information on her. We do have my mother's birth Certificate that lists a Chloe Spencer as her mother and her age in 1925 was 22 years of age. She lists herself as a nurse and that she was from Richwood, W VA. She gave the child up for adoption in Nashville to the Bruce family. If anyone has any information it would be GREATLY appreciated. Or any suggestions on how we can access records because it seems there is no information on her.

I have the death certificate for my husbands grandfather, and boy do I have a problem. The 1880 Nicholas County Census shows him as John Letcher FISHER, his mother, Malinda Adaline FISHER was living in the home of Jerrard or Jarrett Morgan LONG. Malinda married Mr. LONG several years later. Now here is my problem, John's death certificate shows that his father was Dock LONG, and that he was born at Meadow Bluff, West Virginia. The funeral home which handled him shows that his father was James LONG. So who the heck was he and his father. Can anyone help us?

I am looking for information on my MULLINS family in Richwood,WV. My great grandfather Andrew Jackson MULLINS and his wife Ollie STANLEY MULLINS moved from Greenbrier Co. when my grandmother was about 4 years old in 1910. He cared for the cemetery around that time and the home they lived in was right in what would be part of the cemetery now. Jack and Ollie MULLINS also cleaned the Presbteryian church on Main St. Jack's brother William MULLINS also lived in Richwood. Are there any early church photos of members or Sunday School photos that they might be in. This would probably been circa 1910-1918. Would appreciate any information or photos anyone could send.

I'm going to be making a trip to Summersville in Nicholas County in about a month to do genealogy research. Can someone tell me if the Nicholas County Historical and Genealogy Society building is still open to the public. We were there two years ago, in the fall, and it was closed due to not having heat in the building. I would like to spend a day there. The last time we were in Summersville a very nice lady picked us up and took us to the building and stayed with us in the cold. She was really nice to strangers. Also, is it possible to go to the Hughes Cemetery, located in Twenty Mile area. They were doing some sort of excavation in that area and we were not able to get to the cemetery last time. . --------------------------------------------------

Am looking for my Rodgers/Rogers family in Lockwood, Nicholas co, W VA. I wrote to the Nicholas Co. probate court for a copy of a birth cert. for Serena Pearl Rodgers b. 24 Feb 1889 to Norman Rodgers and Martha Caroline Davenport Rodgers. At one time they were in Waterloo, Lawrence Co, OH because some of the children are born there and some in Lockwood, Nicholas Co, W VA. I have a total of 13 children for Norman and Martha. The ones born in Lockwood are Serena, Wylie Wilbur b. 26 Jan 1901, Floyd Lonnie Emmett b. 31 Aug 1903 and Mary Gladys b. 23 Feb 1906. Some of the info that I have may be a little off and more children born there. Can someone help me to find Serena's birth certificate. I looked in the census index on this site and they are not listed, but an error box came up and would not let me do any further research in the census. Will have to search other places.
