Hello Paul, Sorry again, no marriage...but I did find a few other things.

Well Marcelia and her children and Marshall and his family are in the 1900 census. If you need that info I can send it to you.

I also found some deaths: Crook, William G 3/23/1900 Crook, Frederick F 8/14/1888 parents: William G & Marcella Crook Crook, A B 10/10/1897 parents: William G & Marcella Crook

Adams, Marshall 9/15/1941 parents: Joshua Adams & Laverna Mae Leeson Adams, Margaret Elizabeth 5/20/1943 parents: William Crock & Marcelia Waldeck There are three more of Joshua Adams children

I only have Doddridge & Tyler, but for other publications you can go to (if you have not already been) http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvgenweb/ each county has their own list of helpers--some are very limited. Also you can buy publications from Wes Cochran at http://www.rootsweb.com/~hcpd/cochran.htm

If you need anything else--let me know.

Paul I spoke to Aunt Della's children. I also spoke to Aunt Bessie's daughter. They both told me this about the President. They said that Grandpa Joshua always said that they went back to the President. They said that he had all the info in his head and never wrote it down on paper. Therefore, no one has any proof from there. As far as you wanting old pictures, when I was sending you some you said they were not clear and that you only wanted them if they were clear so I didn't know what to do. Some are quite clear and some are not. I made Uncle Ed and all his brothers and sisters a ancestry album of all that I could find. Did you want me to make you an album like his or do you want me to put pictures on a cd. I learned to do that. If you want pictures on a cd, it will cost you nothing. If you want an album, it will cost you a lot. I have Osburns, Adams, and Teters in the album. I was looking forward to meeting you and was dissapointed that you weren't there. I brought 3 new faces to the reunion. 2 of them were grandchildren and gr grandchildren of Delbert who is Delphia's brother. Also brought a lady whose mother was Vesti Teter's sister. Vesti was John Teters wife. John and Delbert are Delphia Teter Osborne's brother. Also, met Marie Wright's daughter. Her name is Debbie. Marie was Alonzo (Uncle Lon) daughter. I also met Audrey's daughter. Audrey is also Alonzo's daughter. Josephine Detterman is Delbert's granddaughter. She gave me some info the other day as well as names and dates to copy. I have yet to do this as I just got the info a couple days ago. She is 83 and the info and dates was given to her by her mother some years ago. It was good hearing from you again and looking forward to hearing from you again. Let me know what you wish for me to do. I am at my daughters babysitting in Michigan till Saturday but I can still get my email here. Take care, cousin Elaine
