Family Histories
and
Biographies


Adams Family & Adamston Addition:  Article from the 1929 Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram
   regarding the Adams family of Harrison County, and the history of the Adamston Addition
   of Clarksburg.  Transcribed & donated by Sandy Adams

The Ashcraft Family Files: This file was transcribed from the long form Tetrick questionnaires. 
   Each individual who heads a section was the respondent of the information associated with
   his/her family.  Although these individuals in this collection seem to be representative of
   various counties in WV, the Ashcraft family has a long history in Harrison Co.  Transcribed 
   and donated by Nanci Headley Kotowski.

Nicholas and Mary Wolfe Carpenter:  A history of Nicholas Carpenter, who was an early 
  settler of Harrison County.  Submitted by Sandra Carpenter Samoyedny

The Hall Records, Genealogical and Biographical", by Richard Miller, 1886.  Scanned, and
  generously submitted by David Fowler, this book covers the Thomas Hall family 
  from Delaware.

Family guide to "Hall Records, Biographical and Genealogical":  Dave Stevens has 
  generated his own outline descent tree for the descendants of Thomas Hall, as found in 
  Miller's book, "The Hall Records". Because he found the original version to be a bit confusing,
  Dave also reformatted the book for his own research use.  This reformatted version, 
  along with a much more detailed index, is available as a word document.  If you would 
  like a copy, or have any additional information or corrections to make to this guide, please 
  let me know, and I will pass it along to Dave.

  There is a listing of early Clarksburg residents, and information on the glass factories.

Rollins Family Oral History: by Beverly Rollins.  An account by four Rollins siblings on 
   growing up in Harrison County during the depression.

Geneologies:  I've decided to put genealogies online.  If you would like to submit your's,
   please let me know. PLEASE NOTE:   If you submit information on living people, make
   CERTAIN that you have their permission:  people have a right to their privacy.
  Invasion of privacy is NOT justifiable in the name of research.  No information other than
   names will be listed for living people; folks born after 1950 will not be put online.  If we get
   enough submitted, I'll start a new section just for the genealogies.  Also- please remember 
   we have space limitations:)
