counties I have associated with them are: Henderson HARPER married
Debora WESTFALL in Jackson Co., 7-10-1849. Their children were John
Luther, Rachel, William Perry, and Malinda. Some born in Jackson Co. and
later in Roane Co.

Their children were Mary Malinda, Jacob Milton, John Marshall, Virgil L,
Robert Henderson, Alda, Lelia, Eliza, Martha E., and Emma.
Eliza HARPER RYERSON is my grandmother. She had a child by a REED while
in Spencer, Roane Co. That is a line I am also researching .... Any help

I am searching the families of PARSONS, ASHBY, HACKNEY, HARRIS, HARPER
I am concentrating (at the moment) on the HARRIS Line. I am searching
for information on Charlie HARRIS who according to family historians
came from Holland, settled in Piedmont (must be Piedmont section) of
North Carolina. He, his second wife, and children from the first
marriage, moved to Roane County. If this sounds like a familuar story to
anyone I'll furnish more information ....
My Roane County names are PARSONS and SALKELD/SALTKILL.
Jonathan W. PARSONS married Elizabeth SALKELD in Spencer, Roane County,
August 1882. Children Harry, Gay, Lewis, Meade, Eva, Eva Emma, Minnie
were born between 1885 & 1903.
Am interested in finding the parents and siblings of Jonathan and
Elizabeth. Also have been unable to determine birth dates
I am researching CARPER - ANDERSON genealogy. My great grandmother was
Mary CARPER, b 1885. Her mother was Nancy CARPER, b. 1827-1828 in
Frederick Co. Winchester , VA. I cannot find a father for Mary. I am
assuming that Nancy wasn't married. Nancy's father was Philip CARPER b.
1788 married Polly SYPHERT. Mary married George ANDERSON b. 1828. In the
1870 Frederick Co. census George was living in the household of Nancy
CARPER. Then in the 1880 Jefferson Co. Charles Town census George and
Mary were living there with one child. I am trying to find out when they
died and where they are buried. These two have been a real mystery to me
for 2 years. There is a George buried at Edge Hill Cemetery in Charles
Town. The date of birth matches that of my George but cannot establish
family connection .... Any help you can give me will be greatly
appreciated.
My grandfather was Duffy GREATHOUSE of Roane Co., WV. His father was
