BAXTER, Allen and DONALDSON, Alexander and DONALDSON, Andrew. Looking
for more information on early settlers of Elk Creek area of Kanawha
County. Alexander married Betsey BAXTER in Nov 1824, but I think he
married Jane BAXTER in 1819. Andrew married Catherine BAXTER. All of
these girls were daughters of Allen BAXTER. Who was Allen's wife? I
have a lot of information about descendents, but I am trying to find out
where these men came from. Anybody else working on these families? on 7:47 PM 10/11/98

Researching the following families and locations from Kanawha County:
RIDER, PROCTOR, WILLS, BARKER, SZASZ (SZASZWALENSKI), BOKA, KOZAK,and SCHNEIDER (SNIDER). Histories of Ward, Pond Gap, Cedar Grove, and trying to find out if there was a lumber business of some type in the late 1800's at Big Laurel (near Cedar Grove) at Blue Creek. My ggreatgrandfather, Robert G. Rider, allegedly started a lumber business there or was working for one there?
I have two Ward Community Reunion keepsake books that were printed after the 14th and 15th reunions in the 1990's. They are full of early photos of families who lived at Ward and of the community itself. Would be happy to see if your family member is pictured and scan and e-mail it to you if the quality is good enough. I hope to contribute an index of pictured individuals to this site soon. on 5:27 PM 10/27/98

My husband's grandmother has a somewhat fragile memory in her declining years. She says that her parents (my husband's great-grandparents) are buried in Kanawha County "in a cemetery up on a hill overlooking the Capitol." Does anyone have any clue where this might be? The markers I am searching for are Albert Lee Ferrell, 1892-1941 and his wife Nina Kate (Hensley) Ferrell July 7, 1893-September 9, 1979.
Thanks for your time! Kathy Gaskins on 6:27 AM 10/28/98
