DAVIS, SKINNER posted by Audrey Helou on Monday, August 5, 1996: Hi. I'm looking for information (GEDCOMs, oral history, whatever) on Elmer DAVIS (born in or around Ravenswood, WV) and Bessie Elizabeth SKINNER.

GLASSCOCK, MCDANIEL posted by Gene McDaniels on Tuesday, September 3, 1996: I am searching for information on Aaron McDANIEL who was a veteran of the War of 1812 and lived in Monongalia Co. I believe he was buried in the McDanielAEs Cemetery at Stone House and that his remains were moved to Mary's Chapel Cemetery in 1937 when the Tygart Dam was constructed. I believe he was the son of David McDANIEL who in 1790 ran the McDaniel's Ferry on the Tygart River at Cecil Station just south of Grafton. Further I believe he is the father of Aaron S. MCDANIEL (1791-1866) of Shinnston, Harrison Co., and the grandfather of Aaron McDANIEL (1822-1910) who married Satiria GLASSCOCK in Barbour Co in 1845. Confirmation of any of the above or any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Gene McDaniels gene38a@ptconnect.infi.net.

They had a son who is my grandfather, Charles Samuel BOLLIGER who was born in Taylor Co., Grafton, W. Virginia in 1894. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Fred BOLLIGER was born in W.
