Thomas Hannen

I'm looking for information on Wilber H. TURNER and Mae STONE. They had a daughter born in Kanawha Co. Aug 14,1892. This is all I have. My question is when did the State of WV start collecting tax either personal or income tax. I can't find any other information on These two. If you can help this might not need to be posted. I believe this is my last hope in Kanawha Co.7:42 AM 2/1/98

I am seeking information about Samuel Russell. He was born about 1820 and died in 1883. He died in Kanawha County. He was married 2 or possibly 3 times. He married Sirena TURLEY in 1848 in Kanawha Co. Then in 1864 he married NANCY BROWDEN COBB a widow. She was 27 and he was 46. He lists is mother as being ELIZABETH RUSSELL. I need to know who his father was. I also need to know who his siblings were. In 1864 when he married Nancy he said his occupation was a Dr. He lived near the Forks of the Coal River. If you have any information about any of these people, please contact me. I am at a complete standstill on this one. Thanks Pat Adkins 6:43 AM 2/16/98

I am researching the Coleman family from Kanawha County, WV. My mother was Malinda Martha Coleman who married David Ray Stone. Her father was James Coleman who married Mary Elizabeth Ferrell.

I am seeking Leonard/Lenny CANTRELL, who probably died between 1908-1910.

He married Frances Barton Marshall in 1875 (his claim to genealogical fame as she is granddaughter of Chief Justice John Marshall.

Steve Fisher

My name is Steve Fisher and I grew up in Putnam County. My great-great grandfather was Daniel Pleasant Smith, born 1838 - died 1929. His parents were Bartlett and Nancy Smith. I know they lived in Putnam County also as they are buried in an old cemetary near Hurricane. Since Putnam county wasn't formed until 1848, I haven't found any records of Bartlett and Nancy and thought they might be in Kanawha County as Putnam County was formed from Kanawha. I would greatly appreciate any information concerning Nancy's last name and/or the parents of Bartlett. I have a scrap of paper that lists a "Miss Halpayne" as Bartletts mother but I have never been able to confirm this. Any information you could provide would be much appreciated. Thank you. 6:19 AM 2/25/98
