Book excerpt: As we start chopping down the ancestry tree to get to our roots, this is what we have discovered in this book (Book 2 of the Roots of a Hillbilly Family from West Virginia): Our family comes through the names of Phelps, Watkins, Chaney, Belt, Bazewell, Warman, Middleton, Cheney, Bazil, Hopper, Gassaway, Watts, Tydings, Haynes, Bovey, Roderick, Rauhouser, Phelps, Rothrock, Lehn, Smith, Gibson, Krackel, Bowman, Beeghly, Keller, Hendricks, Rueger, Hottel, Inken, Markley, Herr, Schaub, Hilderbrandt, Hertzler, Bracken, Hummel, Boger, Breniser, Meyers, Wampler, Breniser, Fuchs, Lung and Klein. As in all trees, we are missing a few branches too. Book number 3 will have the names Boyles, Hardin, Spring, etc. This book covers the following states: Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and counties which are now part of the state of West Virginia. This book covers my dad's (Robert I Phelps) dad's family. We have added a title called, "Those brave souls in our genealogy who immigrated to America from other countries:" In book 2, we have a list of 25 people who came to America from other countries. Nineteen came from Germany; four came from Switzerland and two from France. The other 64 people listed in our family tree were born in the USA during the 1700's and 1600's that this book covers. We also decided to include another title called "Revolutionary War and other wars". We have a list of 6 people in this book: Ezekiel Phelps, Revolutionary War from Maryland; John Haynes, Revolutionary War from Virginia; Henry Haynes, French and Indian War and Revolutionary War from Virginia; Col. John Phelps, French and Indian War and Revolutionary War from Virginia; George Keller, Revolutionary War from Virginia and Mathias Boger, Revolutionary War from Pennsylvania.Hope you enjoyed Book 1 and will enjoy reading this book. Come along for a very special ride as we continue to chop down our family tree to discover more about our roots. The thing about the ancestry tree which is so special and magical is that as we cut, the tree still stands tall and remains strong as it adds even more branches and names to the family tree. Working on Book 3 now.

This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the history of the Phelps family from West Virginia. It covers West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut and England. It was the B & O Railroad in Grafton, Taylor County, WV that brought our Phelps family to that state from Baltimore, MD. Actually, Phelps came to the western part of Virginia right before it became the state of West Virginia. I dedicate this book to the Phelps men in my family: My dad, Robert I Phelps, my brother, Sherman Cecil Phelps, my granddad, Walter Watkins Phelps II, my great granddad, George Phelps and my great-great granddad, Walter Watkins Phelps. I give special thanks to our heavenly Father, our Creator and His heavenly team and to both of my parents, Robert & Vernie (Shomo) Phelps.

This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1750 a young man boarded a boat traveling alone from France to America. He became friends with a family traveling to America from Germany. During this 6 month journey, he and the young lady of the family he befriended fell in love and married after their arrival to this new country. In France the Shomo name is called "Chaumontet," and Joseph Chaumontet Shomo married Anna Maria "Fricker" from Germany. He, this couple's sons, her brother and others fought in the Revolutionary War for our freedoms. This family first settled in Berks County, PA and attended church near the Reading Railroad. They started their own business. Many of their offspring moved to Shenandoah County, Virginia. From Virginia, some of this family moved to the part of Virginia which later became West Virginia, and many of their descendants fought in the Civil War and many other wars for our freedoms. The descendants who lived in Rowtown (Junior) and Belington in Barbour County, West Virginia were influential in becoming mayors, organizing banks, theaters, coal miner workers and some owned coal mines. Many of these family members were the "pillars of their communities." Some were teachers, postmasters, ministers, farmers, blacksmiths, business owners, home makers, carpenters. Many were members of the Knights of Pythias. Many raised large families. One descendant, Peggy Shomo Joyner wrote a book called "Ancestors and Descendants of Joseph Shomo (Shammo), Immigrant to Pennsylvania, 1750." This book had 439 pages, was published by Gateway Press in 1983, original from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. This book is now out of print. All of the information in this book is a big help to those of us who want to learn more about our Shomo family. Now Stella (Phelps) Forinash has written this 414 page book called "Roots of a Family from West Virginia the "Shomo" Family and is working on another book called "Shomo Family Book 2 - From France and Germany to the USA." Stella was born in Taylor County, WV and lived in Philippi, Barbour County, WV from 1952-1963. Stella is the daughter of Robert I and Vernie B (Shomo) Phelps and the granddaughter of Eugene and Stella (Cross) Shomo. These books are naming the thousands of Shomo descendants from West Virginia and other states with some photos and obituaries which various family members have shared with the public. It is just another tool in our journey to learn more about our family. Stella and her husband, Ken visited Reading, PA in Berks County and New Market, VA in Shenandoah County in 2017. In 2018 Stella fell and broke bones in her left hand while typing and writing this book and was wearing a cast on her left arm. The actual credit for these books go to all of the Shomo descendants who share photos and family information in person, in family Bibles, on Ancestry, Find a Grave, on the Internet, in books, on Facebook as well as to our country's US Federal census records, military records, passenger and Immigration Lists Index from 1500s to 1900s, tax records, church records, public school records, wills, state and county court records, obituaries, etc. Modern DNA is now proving even more about our ancestry. All credit goes to our Creator and His team.

Download or read book Roane County, West Virginia Families written by William H. Bishop and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bishop's "History of Roane County" is the standard work on its subject, but its chief appeal to the genealogist can be found in the hundreds of genealogical and historical essays of pioneer families of Roane County that comprise the second half of the work. Those essays, which, in most cases, are based upon interviews conducted by the author with a surviving family member, generally go back to the early nineteenth century and pertain to migrants from Virginia and the middle states possessing British, Irish, or Scotch-Irish stock.

Book excerpt: "This book...treat[s] the ever-shifting Virginia frontier, ...the beginnings of the earlier southwest, ...the Roanoke of colonial days, and...the major incidents in the first great advance of a mighty people into the uninhabited or thinly populated and undeveloped empire of the central west..." It is based on "original and unimpeachable records...assembled from both public and private collections." This five-part work covers an outline statement of the advance of the frontier from the beginning of the Colony to the beginning of the settlement of the region of the upper James River and the Roanoke; settlements of the territory in the period from 1740 to 1760; the story of the Virginia frontier in the French and Indian War; the closing years of the war and the settlements from 1760 to the organization of Botetourt County in 1770; and the organization of the new county and the community development in it from 1770 to 1783. Special attention has been given to the inhabitants. "The arrival of each newcomer with his place of settlement is chronicled and his experiences and subsequent movements appropriately recounted. Settlement maps have been constructed and included to show definitely the location of important homesteads and community centers." Thirty-one maps and over sixty illustrations enhance the text.

Download or read book Matewan Before the Massacre written by Rebecca J. Bailey and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 19, 1920, gunshots rang through the streets of Matewan, West Virginia, in an event soon known as the "Matewan Massacre." Most historians of West Virginia and Appalachia see this event as the beginning of a long series of tribulations known as the second Mine Wars. But was it instead the culmination of an even longer series of proceedings that unfolded in Mingo County, dating back at least to the Civil War? Matewan Before the Massacre provides the first comprehensive history of the area, beginning in the late eighteenth century continuing up to the Massacre. It covers the relevant economic history, including the development of the coal mine industry and the struggles over land ownership; labor history, including early efforts of unionization; transportation history, including the role of the N&W Railroad; political history, including the role of political factions in the county's two major communities--Matewan and Williamson; and the impact of the state's governors and legislatures on Mingo County.
