Subject: Lafferty, Skiles, Dennison
Submitter: Cherie Atkinson Clark
Date: 19 Jul 1997
Looking for any information about a Lydia Lafferty who lived in Washington Co, PA. Family stories say she was an orphan. I have found her in three census records so far, and either someone was lying about her age, or they didn't know how old she was. In 1860, she was listed as 12 years old, living with a family named Dennison. In 1870, she was listed as 26 years old, and living with Jane Dennison as a domestic servant. Mrs Dennison was a widow by then. In both of these records, she lived near her future husband, James H. Skiles who was living with his parents, James P. and Martha Skiles. By 1880, James and "Liddie" Skiles were married and had 3 of their children. She was shown as being 26 by then. I'm thinking that possibly she lied here because she would have been older than her husband. I haven't found her date of death yet, but it had to be between 1893 (when her youngest daughter was born) and 1910, when her husband was listed as a widower. I am looking for possible parents of Lydia Lafferty, and wondering what became of them.

First, Mary Jane MURRAY, born 1845, married, 28 Dec 1870, Joseph David WHITHAM, born 10 Aug 1835, and had three children: Datemus Brunel, Xavia Christina, and Kalla Frederika Bronte. Marriage and birth of the children was in Valley Grove. Second, Nicholas F. MURRAY, who married Emily F. WHITHAM, born 2 May 1841. Marriage may have been in Valley Grove, Ohio Co., WV or West Alexander, Washington Co., PA. Third, S. H. MURRAY, married, 29 Jan 1867, Hannah J. WHITHAM, born ca. 1845, Valley Grove, Ohio Co., WV. This marriage also was probably either in Valley Grove or West Alexander. Emily F. and Hannah J. WHITHAM were sisters and cousins to Joseph David WHITHAM. Nicholas F. MURRAY apparently operated a nursery in the 1880's as I have a bill of sale for fruit trees from him to Joseph David WHITHAM. Is there a similar relationship between the three MURRAYS?

Family history says that my GGGrandfather, Quillian DEBRULAR came to this country from France sometime in the late 1800's and settled in Washington Co., PA. He married Rebecca Marquis (daughter of James Marquis) and they had several children but the only one we have any knowledge about is their youngest. His name is John Morgan DEBRULAR born in Washington CO. PA in 1843. Not much is known about them until Rebecca, James and John Morgan moved to a small community near Toll Gate, WV sometime between 1844 & 1859. John Morgan joined the Union Army in Brooke County, VA in 1860. He was assigned to Company "D" stationed at Toll Gate guarding the railroad. We have no further info concerning Quillian except that we feel he is buried near Bedford, PA. James Marquis passed away in 1868 and Rebecca in 1880. Both are buried in this area. John Morgan married Susan Jane Waldo. Both lived the rest of their years in this area and became a very promient person. He passed away in 1924. Susan passed away in 1934. IN ANOTHER QUERY ON ANOTHER SITE I REPORTED THAT REBECCA FATHER NAME WAS THOMAS THAT WAS INCORRECT HIS NAME WAS JAMES. Any information will be appreciated. All replys will be answered. I live in West Virginia if I may be of help - let me know I will try. Best wishes, John DeBrular

I am searching for ancestral information on the DEEM and FOUTTY/FOUGHTY families that were in Fayette County from about 1770 until early 1800. Specifically on the Johannes DIEHM(DEEM) who died in Uniontown in 1802, Lewis DEEM who died there in 1802, and Philip FOUT/FOUTTY who died prior to 1800. I am especially trying to find the children of Lewis and Rosanna DEEM, and the maiden name of Lewis's wife Rosanna. If you know anything about these families, please contact me. Thanks.

I am looking for info for information for Tom Jones My name is Thomas Wilson Jones (Tom). I am the Sheriff of Thomas County, Kansas. I am looking for my great grandfather William Jones. In reviewing the 1860 census of Washington County, Pa. ,we found a William Jones and a Sarah Jones who had four children. The last two being males (William I. and Wilson). Now let me give you a brief history of the Jones family of Thomas County, Ks. My fathers name is Wilson David Jones. He had two brothers and a sister. The brothers names were William Issac Jones and Sidney Marion Jones. The sister was Etta M. Jones. Their fathers name was Wilson D. Jones and his brothers name was William I. Jones. Both birthdates correspond with those of William I. and Wilson found in the 1860 Washington County census. (Buffalo Township). I know nothing of my great grandfather William Jones except that he died approximately in the year of 1878 in Washington Co. Pa. Do you have access to any death records or cemetery records of that time? Also, we believe he had two wives Sarah and Mary. Sarah being listed wife on the census and also mother of William I. and Wilson. However, on his marriage license, my grandfather Wilson, has Mary listed as his mother.

Searching for information on the parentage, siblings, and place of origin of Isaac ALLEN (b. 1760-70 New Jersey ?) who married Elizabeth RUSH (daughter of Jacob RUSH and Lydia BELL) around 1790 possibly in Washington Co.

The family is listed in the 1798 tax list, Greene Co. Pa, Morgan Twp as having 83 acres adjoining the properties of Abel MANN and Benjamin BELL.

Greetings to all! I am having problems with finding information on my ggggrandfather and ggggrandmother. This is what I have so far: Abraham BURT was born 12 Apr 1805 in Washington Co., PA, Bethiah (I believe the spelling is correct) RUSH was born 20 Oct 1806 in Washington Co., PA. They were married 6 Sep 1826 in Washington Co., PA. After this, I have hit a brick wall. My nose still hasn't straightened out! Forward from this, they moved to Ohio and started their family, then moved to Wisconsin where they finished their family. All of the generations after that have been in the IA-MN-WI area. I have exhausted the resources at the Dallas Public Library, which is considered a fine place to do research in genealogy. If someone in the area in Pennsylvania would be willing to pass on any information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

The whole clan lived in Washington County , if this is my guy I've hit the jackpot!
