The following children he shared with Ella: Mary b 1919, Florence b 1921, Cecil b 1923, Helen b 1930, Effie JoAnn b 1932, Paul b 1934, Ernest b 1939, and Carl b 1942.

However, I suspect that Thomas was married prior to his marriage with Ella. He had the following children from the first marriage: Foster, Nettie (married a Blackburn), Hattie (married a Smallwood), Emmett, Minnie (married a Bailey), Leonard. The following children he shared with Ella: Mary b 1919, Florence b 1921, Cecil b 1923, Helen b 1930, Effie JoAnn b 1932, Paul b 1934, Ernest b 1939, and Carl b 1942. I understand that Effie JoAnn was born in Hemphill, WV on 25 May 1932. I do not have any information regarding Thomas' parents, sibs, or previous wife. Nor do I have any information regarding the Persingers. Can anyone help me? Any information about this family would be greatly appreciated as I have hit a dead end with my grandfather.

I am interested in hearing from any one in this area with the spelling of Skaggs, Scaggs, or Skeggs. I am also hunting for a marriage record between a Skaggs member an a Campbell. The name Campbell appears as a middle name in many of my Skaggs' members. Believe they either md. are a Skaggs served in the war under the commande of a Campbell.

I am looking for the father of Jordan McCormick Sr. b 1802 in kanawha county, Va. or maby in Rockbridge coounty, Va. He had a son, Charles D. McCormick (1832-1922). I think his dad was Robert McCormick who was the youngest son of immigrant Thomas, made his home in Rockbridge and Augusta Counties, Va., as early as 1779. He was married in 1770 to Martha Sanderson and had six children. I can't prove this. Would like some help on Jordan McCormick Sr. Thanks
