History of Ritchie County (wv): By Minnie Kendall Lowther:

"GAMALIEL WALDO made the first settlement on the farm that is known as the Flannagan homestead near the year 1815. Traces of his old cabin Which stood only a few hundred yards from the present W. A. Flannagan residence, are still visible.

Mr. Waldo and his wife, Nancy Bartlett Waldo, came from Harrison county and remained here until about the year 1844, when they removed to Indiana with all their family, except three members who were established in homes of their own, and there they saw the last of earth. They were adherents of the Baptist church faith and Mr. Waldo was the first clerk of the Mab Zeal Baptist class at Harrisville in 1825."

Their children were as follows : Hickman, Bartlett, Phipps, John, Zedediah, Melinda. Matilda, Harriett. Emily. Amy and Elizabeth Waldo, the daughters having all married in the West."
