Their children were:

4. Henry - married to Dorcus ?
5. Catherine - married to Francis WARTENBE
6. Maria - married to Henson WHEELER ?

8. Margaret - married to George VINCENT
2. Christian / Christopher & Mary CALLENDINE.
They were in Brooke Co.,WV ( about 1798-1806 ).
They sold quite a few lots in Wellsburg, WV, so
possibly they were into real-estate buying and
selling at the time.
Christian possibly could have been born around
1750-1760.
Unable to locate them after 1806.

perhaps some relatives still lived there. He apparently lived in Wayne

born there at that time. He was apparently married to ARMINTA DELONG
ENDICOTT at that time but I believe he was married once before but I do

Re: HARRIS, George and Nancy, ca. 1770s. This couple are the parents of
Barbara Harris FITZWATER (b. abt. 1796, d. 1868 Tucker Co.), who was
married to John Fitzwater. This family is shown in Randolph County in
1850 and in Tucker County in the 1860 census. Barbara's death
certificate states: "Parents: George & Nancy Harris, born in
Hardy Co., VA/WV." In 1860, an 80 year old woman named Sarah HARRIS
was residing with them. I have not seen the original census microfilm
and therefore do not know Sarah's relationship to Barbara Harris. I have
a hunch that this George Harris is a brother of Simeon HARRIS. I would
like to hear from any others who are researching the Harris family in
Hardy County or elsewhere. Thank you. Mary Hitt, Murrysville, PA

POFF FAMILY
I am seeking information on my g, grandfather Robert Edward Poff.
He was born Sept. 9, 1864 and died August 9, 1918. He had a
stepfather named Mahaley Richards I don't know his mother's name
or if he had any brothers or sisters. He married Olevia Bell
Barrett July 24, 1889. They had four children Burtha born May 9,
1891, Hazel born July 31, 1892, Earl born July 3, 1894 and
Gertie born May 29, 1896. The family resided in Lincoln
County, WV. He is buried next to his wife at the Berry Hills
or French Cementary in Lincoln County, WV. He may have been
killed in a war. His wife died April 18, 1937.
I noted several Poffs in the Bluefield area. Poff is not a very
common name and I wonder where the name originated from...
and would appreciate any information which anyone
could provide.
Thanks

to a large book of Shinn history I found
in the library. The hames in the book are
all dirived from Bible names, so I feel there
is a connection, but have hit a wall. Any
help would be appreciated. Bill

I am looking for Marie Sampson, m Douglas Fairbanks Sampson abt 1944
Washington, D. C. She moved to Bluefield abt 1945 and I am told she
worked as a waitress. Her Husband, Douglas was killed at Normandy. She
would be in her 70's. Douglas F. Sampson last name was changed from
Sansom to Sampson, by my Uncle Sylvester V. Sansom. Any information
would help and thanks for your time. I live in Elizabethton, TN.
