[N00030] Seymour P. Lemmons was a Private in the 2nd WV Volunteer Infantry during the Spanish-American War.

The 2nd West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. Company "F" was organized in Weston and was mostly composed of men from Lewis and a few neighboring counties. This information is taken from the book "Lewis County in the Spanish-American War," by Roy Bird Cook, 1925, and now out of copyright. The Spanish-American War ended much sooner than anyone anticipated, and, like a lot of volunteer units, the 2nd WVA Infantry never left the US, let alone made it into battle. This 30 page book is mostly an account of their journeys from one camp to another in the United States.

Here is a summary of the unit's history: President McKinley called for a second regiment from West Virginia on May 25, 1898. Lewis County was assigned a quota of 134 men, one company. On May 28, Weston attorney Jackson Arnold put a notice in the local paper for able-bodied men and set to organizing a company. On June 28th, they departed Weston for Charleston (via Clarksburg, Parkersburg, and Point Pleasant). On June 30th, they were officially mustered into U.S. government service as Company "F" of the 2nd West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. On August 19th, the regiment was transferred to Camp Meade, near Harrisburg, PA. While there, they participated in memorial services for former Virginia and West Virginia units which had fought at Gettysburg.

Seymour P. Lemmons was a Private in the 2nd WV Volunteer Infantry during the Spanish-American War.

The 2nd West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. Company "F" was organized in Weston and was mostly composed of men from Lewis and a few neighboring counties. This information is taken from the book "Lewis County in the Spanish-American War," by Roy Bird Cook, 1925, and now out of copyright. The Spanish-American War ended much sooner than anyone anticipated, and, like a lot of volunteer units, the 2nd WVA Infantry never left the US, let alone made it into battle. This 30 page book is mostly an account of their journeys from one camp to another in the United States.

Here is a summary of the unit's history: President McKinley called for a second regiment from West Virginia on May 25, 1898. Lewis County was assigned a quota of 134 men, one company. On May 28, Weston attorney Jackson Arnold put a notice in the local paper for able-bodied men and set to organizing a company. On June 28th, they departed Weston for Charleston (via Clarksburg, Parkersburg, and Point Pleasant). On June 30th, they were officially mustered into U.S. government service as Company "F" of the 2nd West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. On August 19th, the regiment was transferred to Camp Meade, near Harrisburg, PA. While there, they participated in memorial services for former Virginia and West Virginia units which had fought at Gettysburg. On November 19th, 1898, they left Pennsylvania for "Camp Wetherill" in Greenville, SC. On April 10, 1899, the unit was mustered out of service and most arrived back in Weston two days later. The only recorded deaths were of two privates (G. J. Cooper and B. T. Pritchard) to fever.

[N00031] Kadesh Chapel United Methodist Church, located in rural Brooke County about three miles from Beech Bottom, celebrated its 213th anniversary on Sep 20, 1998. Kadesh is the Hebrew name for Holy.

Kadesh Chapel labels itself as the oldest church in Northern West Virginia and the fifth oldest Methodist church building in West Virginia said church historian John C. McCord.

Methodism was brought across the Allegheny Mountains by Reason Pumphrey, who settled in Washington County, PA. Pumphrey held religious classes in 1772, 12 years before the Christmas Conference organized American Methodism in 1784, McCord said.

According to Dr. Raymond M. Bell of Washington, Pa., Pumphrey is the father of the Pittsburgh Conference. His second cousin, Richard Owings, founded the Redstone Circuit and with Wilson Lee attended the Christmas Conference, Bell said. In 1785 Lee came to Pumphreys' in Beech Bottom, following directions from Owings. Lee then went to West Liberty, Short Creek and Wheeling. Lee kept almost no records of his travel.

The fifth Methodist church building in West Virginia was an 18 by 20 foot log cabin built in 1788 on the Harrison Farm near Pettit Heights. The congregation ( Caleb Pumphrey, Nicholas Pumphrey and William Hamer as trustees of Ohio Circuit) bought an acre of land from Joseph Hedges in 1793. ( On this land Kadesh Chapel was built in 1793). The society at Kadesh Chapel was organized in 1785; the first church as built in 1788; the first church at the present location was built in 1793; replaced about 1820 and again 1852. John Spahr of Short Creek attended this new church, Kadesh Chapel and in 1805 gave land for the Short Creek Church, McCord said.

Rev. Thomas Haymond was buried at Kadesh Chapel in 1799. Joshua Monroe who preached there in 1811 said that it was built by the Pumphreys and others. Reason Pumphrey died at Beech Bottom in 1812, aged 77, leaving wife Ann , eight sons and one

[N00036] After his marriage to Esther Wilson in 1808 they lived in the Bolar homeplace and inherited it when his father John Bollar died. John dropped the second "L" from his last name and this became the spelling of the name applied to the mountain, the post office, and the spring in Bath County. John served as a major in the militia during the War of 1812.

John and Esther were buried at the Bollar Homestead and their graves were moved in the 1970s to the Warm Springs Cemetery before the homestead was flooded with the construction of the Gathright Dam. They left the homestead to their daughter Susan Paulina Revercomb in the 1870s. The house remained in the family until it was sold to T.M. Gathright about 1930.[Complete.ftw]

[N00037] When John Hyre died on March 28, 1829, he indicated in his will13 that the land on which he lived had been leased, for his and his wife's natural lives, from John Hoy (Hoye). Therefore, it is the writer's belief that John Hyre originally settled on Hickory Cabin Run, now known as Tillman Lane, but later found that he could not obtain title to this land and, therefore, leased it. In his will, John left the farm to his wife, Patience, for her natural life, with the option of disposing of it, that is leasing it, or using it herself as she wished. The land would, of course, revert to John Hoye at her death. Further evidence that John Hyre did actually live on Tillman Lane (Hickory Cabin Run ) is the statement by Upshur County historian, W. B. Cutright that John Hyer (Hyer, Hire) settled on Brushy Fork on what is now known as the Noah Hyer (Hyre) farm.14 Information on the Noah Hyre farm and John Hyre's relation to it follows.

On November 30, 1830, John Hoye agreed to sell 369 1/4 acres of land on Hickory Cabin Run to Noah Hyre,15 ( son of John, probably his youngest child), accepting notes to be paid over a number of years. It was July 21, 1840, before Noah was able to make arrangements to complete payments and obtain a deed for the land.

[N00038] Lienert (Leonhard, Leonard) Heyer ancestor of the West Virginia Hyres (Hyer, Hire, etc.) was born in Benken, Switzerland in 1696.1 He married Clara Lutzler who was born in Switzerland in 1705, a daughter of Rudolph Lutzler.

Leinert received permission to leave his life as a fief hold in Benken, Switzerland 11 May 1737. On 24 Sep 1737, Leinert, Clara, their children and Clara's father, and a neighbor family by the name of Rueger (Rieger, Reger) arrived in the Port of Philadelphia aboard the "Virtuous Grace." Their daughter Clara died at Cowes, Isle of Wight of smallpox during the voyage. The families settled in Tupplehocken township in Berks County PA. About 1750, the Hyres and Regers moved to Augusta County, Virginia, on the South Branch of the Potomac to an area which is now near Petersburg in Grant County, W.Va. This area was also, at one time, a part of Hampshire County and later a part of Hardy County, before becoming Grant County in 1866.

Immigrant Leinart had two sons, Leonard (II) and Rudolph, and several daughters, who lived to maturity. The children of Leonard II consisted of seven sons and a daughter. Two sons, John and Jacob, were early settlers in present Upshur County, while a third son, Leonard III, (d. 1829), spent the latter part of his life in present Braxton County, formed largely from Lewis in 1836, and was the progenitor of most of the Braxton County Hyers, through his son, Christian, born in present Grant County between 1785 and 1791.

[N00039] John Heyer fought in the American Revolution under Capt John Harness. The family moved to Present day Upshur County WV soon after the revolution. They were neighbors of John Schoolcraft, and traditional family history states that John Heyer buried the Schoolcraft family after and Indian Massavre 1779. It is known that Jacob Hyre was in the Buckhannon area in 1782 and it is generally assumed that John came to this area about the same time. But if this is so, John's family must have remained in Hampshire County until after 1784, as the 1782 and the 1784 enumerations of that county list John as the head of a household of five in 1782 and of six in 1784 (from the reconstructed 1790 Census of Virginia). At any rate, the old Baptist church records show that the first Baptist congregation of present Upshur County was organized in 1786 with both John and Jacob Hyre as charter members. Upshur County historian, W. B. Cutright, speaks of John as an early settler of Brushy Fork, and Hardesty, in his Encyclopedia, states that the two Hyres were early settlers of Upshur County, with Jacob on Finks Run and John on Brushy Fork. However, both John and Jacob maintained contact with the South Branch (present Petersburg area) for a number of years as John and his wife, Patience, sold property there in 1791, and Jacob and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1789. John did not own the land on which he lived on Brushy Fork, and possible reasons for this will now be discussed. When the early settlers first came to the Buckhannon area it was mostly wilderness, with much of the land still unclaimed. In such cases, it was the common practice for a settler to make a clearing and perhaps build a cabin and claim the surrounding land by cutting his name on trees around the area claimed. This was know as a "tomahawk right". In some instances, such rights were upheld, but in others, the settler later found that the land on which he had settled and made improvements had been granted by the State of Virginia to another, usually an absentee owner of a large tract. In 1803, John Hoye (Hoy) obtained his patent, the lane was called "Hickory Cabin Run," indicating that someone had already settled there. Records in Lewis County show that the Hoye land was adjacent to a larger tract of 59,329 acres patented by John B. Armstead and the Hoye land may have originally been a part of this larger tract.

When John Hyre died on March 28, 1829, he indicated in his will that the land on which he lived had been leased, for his and his wife's natural lives, from John Hoy (Hoye). Therefore, it is the writer's belief that John Hyre originally settled on Hickory Cabin Run, now known as Tillman Lane, but later found that he could not obtain title to this land and, therefore, leased it.

She and her husband Dick, devoted to each other in the old tradition, followed his railroad career from town to town, where she was always known as the best neighbor, an energetic volunteer, a dedicated parent and the greatest pastry chef in the neighborhood.
Prior to her marriage she had been a beautician in Mattoon, IL. In recent years, Maxine had resided in Crestwood Village South and was a member of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church. Prior to moving she was a member of St. Alban's Episcopal Church.
Maxine will be missed by her sons John C. (Flora) and William P. (Pat) Morgan; daughter Barbara Pride; grandchildren Ronald (Jenny) and Richard (Kitty) Pride and her great-granddaughter Bambi.
We pray that she is back with her one true love and that they are as happy as when they first found the light of each other's friendship and affection.
In lieu of flowers you may remember Maxine by planting a dogwood tree or making a contribution to St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, 2601 E. Thompson Road, Indianapolis, IN 46227.

[N00065] This company was from Surry County and enlisted at Mount Airy on May 20, 1861. It was ordered ot Danville, Virginia, on June 12 and left Mount Airy on June 19, the company arrived at Danville on June 24 and was assigned to this regiment as Company C. After it was mustered into the regiment the company functioned as a part of the regiment, and its history for the war period is reported as a part of the regimental history.

The information contained in the following roster of the company was compiled principally from company roster rolls for May 20 - October 1861, January - April 1863, September - October 1864, and January - February 1865. No company muster rolls were found for November 1861 - December 1862, May 1863 - August 1864, November - December 1864, or for the period after February 1865. In addition to the company muster rolls, Roll of Honor records, receipt rolls, hospital records, prisoner of war records, and other primary records, supplemented by state pension applications, United Daughters of the Confederacy records, and postwar rosters and histories, has provided useful information.

From 19 November1760 to 19 July 1773, thirteen deeds are recorded to and from George Lemon. These all concern land in, or near, Taneytown, now Carroll County, part of this land was "Brother's Agreement." George Lemon is usually called a farmer, but on this 19 June 1773, he was called a carpenter. In 1764, he was called son of John Lemon. In all sales his wife was called Elizabeth, or Mary Elizabeth, except on 20 June 1764, when she was recorded as "Merillis." which is a nickname for Mary Elizabeth. By carefully following the land, it is certain that all of the deeds concern the same man. There were other Lemon families in Frederick County, Maryland. On 25 October 1752, 100 acres "Red Bottom" was surveyed for George Lemon in Frederick County, Maryland, this was patented and recorded 22 May 1759.12 On
18 June 1766, George and Elizabeth Lemon sold a lot to Andrew Hull, being by Ludwig Miller's lot on the road near Taneytown, and gave Hull the water rights at the spring.13 After 19 July 1773, George Lemon does not appear in the records of Frederick County, Maryland.

The next record found for this George Lemon was the baptism of his son Jonathan at McGaheysville, Virginia. Many other men named George Lemon were found and eliminated. In November 1777, George Lemon purchased land in Augusta County, Virginia, the deed delivered to Lemon 31 May 1781. On 4 January 1787, George Lemon and wife Elizabeth sold land, part of which he had by patent dated 4 November 1785.14

To prove the sons of our George Lemon, and also to follow his movements we will now check the personal tax lists, and the real estate tax lists. Both are found at The Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia. The first list is for 1782, and no Lemon appears. There is a notation in the published list that George Lemon refused. The headings vary on the lists from year to year.

1795George Leamon1 tithe

George and Christian Leamon, each with one tithe, in other book.

The first appearance for our Lemon family on the Botetourt County real estate tax list is in 1799 when Jacob appears, in 1801, Fred appears. In 1806 Jacob Leamon had 182-50-60 acres of land. Fred had 170-40 and 50 acres new ground. In the other tax book, Peter Lemon had 108 acres, Christian 200 acres, George 155 acres. George Lemon, Sr. does not appear on the land tax books. The 1815 list locates the land, with the distance from the courthouse. Jacob Lemon 182-50-60-225 acres, 25 miles N of E on James River. Frederick Lemon 170-50 acres, 27 miles E of N., on Cow Pastures River. In the other book is: Peter Lemon 180 acres, 4 miles west on Cataba, Christian Lemon 160-200 acres, 4 miles west on Cataba for 160 acres, 200 acres on Tinker Creek, George Lemons had several tracts 15 miles south on Glade Creek. This shows that the other Lemon families in this county lived a long ways from the family of our interest.

The will of George Lemon was made 7 December 1805 and recorded April 1807. The court order book for 1804-1807 shows in court on Wednesday 11 March 1807, George Lemmon, George Lemmon, Jr., and Thomas Phillips appeared with their attorney and asked that the suit be continued in the next court, which was agreed upon. Therefore, he died after that date, and before the April term of court. George Lemon did not name his children in his will, and since he did not own any land, there is no court record to prove his children. He appointed his wife Elizabeth, executrix, and John Phillips executor. A codicil authorized payment to "Jacob Lemmons, my third son" for any accounts assisting with lawsuits with John Eddie and John Chapman. The witnesses were: John Phillips, Stephen Hook, Sarah Hook, Jno, Jordon, and one name in German script.15

[N00459] It is known that Jacob Hyre was in the Buckhannon area in 17827 and it is generally assumed that John came to this area about the same time. But if this is so, John's family must have remained in Hampshire County until after 1784, as the 1782 and the 1784 enumerations of that county list John as the head of a household of five in 1782 and of six in 1784 (from the reconstructed 1790 Census of Virginia). At any rate, the old Baptist church records show that the first Baptist congregation of present Upshur County was organized in 1786 with both John and Jacob Hyre as charter members. Upshur County historian, W. B. Cutright, speaks of John as an early settler of Brushy Fork, and Hardesty, in his Encyclopedia, states that the two Hyres were early settlers of Upshur County, with Jacob on Finks Run and John on Brushy Fork. However, both John and Jacob maintained contact with the South Branch (present Petersburg area) for a number of years as John and his wife, Patience, sold property there in 1791, and Jacob and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1789. John did not own the land on which he lived on Brushy Fork, and possible reasons for this will now be discussed. When the early settlers first came to the Buckhannon area it was mostly wilderness, with much of the land still unclaimed. In such cases, it was the common practice for a settler to make a clearing and perhaps build a cabin and claim the surrounding land by cutting his name on trees around the area claimed. This was know as a "tomahawk right". In some instances, such rights were upheld, but in others, the settler later found that the land on which he had settled and made improvements had been granted by the State of Virginia to another, usually an absentee owner of a large tract. In 1803, John Hoye (Hoy) obtained his patent, the lane was called "Hickory Cabin Run," indicating that someone had already settled there. Records in Lewis County show that the Hoye land was adjacent to a larger tract of 59,329 acres patented by John B. Armstead and the Hoye land may have originally been a part of this larger tract.

The family settled in present day Upshur County WV in 1781. Jacob built the first mill in present day Upshur county in 1783.

Another man who had much to do with the religious and moral standing of Sago was Major Thorp. He came from Connecticut at an early time and married Lydia Morgan, daughter of Joshua Morgan. They settled on what was called the French Creek road. He was also a deacon of the Sago Baptist church and superintendent of the Sunday school, always faithful to his duty. Two of his children died early in youth. Charles M. B., Belle, Martha, and Hattie grew to matured life and became useful members of society. Charles married Polina Grose and settled on a part of the home farm where he reared three children from this marriage. He died in the winter of 1924. Martha and Hattie are both living at this date (fall of 1925). Martha married Dr. C. G. McKinley, and Hattie married Sherman Brady.

[N00559] In 1801 the first permanent settlement was made near where the railroad bridge of the Coal and Coke crosses the river. The man who made this settlement was Zedekiah Morgan, who, with his wife and two grown daughters by a former wife (Ruth Dart) and a baby (Theadore) left his comfortable home at Newtown, Connecticut, and traveled by wagon and foot, through, what was then much of the way, a wilderness and settled here in an unbroken forest. No neighbors greeted these weary travelers on their arrival. The forest was, with the exception of Indian trails, pathless. The home must be carved out of the unbroken wilderness. To the east, some thirty miles, the comparatively old settlement of Tygart's Valley could be reached. Northward at Buckhannon and below a few scattered houses could be found.

[N00560] Sally was afflicted with epilepsy and died a tragic death at a spring on the hillside above the Burner home. She was found with her face in the water.

Henry Wilfong was a farmer (per the census in 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900).15 From the HISTORY OF THE SAGO COMMUNITY, Prepared By E. R. Grose 1926:

"The Henry Wilfong family settled on the waters of Truby's Run before the Civil War. In this family were several children; namely, George, Samuel Henry, John, Daniel, Columbus, Bilda, Phillip, Abraham, Mary Elizabeth, Loise, Tilda, and Loretta.

Four of the boys, George, Samuel Henry, John, and Daniel, served as soldiers in the Civil War on the Union side. Samuel Henry lost his life in the service of his country.

The family is noted for its industry and has added largely to the development of the Truby's Run locality."16 Henry Wilfong was also known as Henry Willfong, per 1880 U. S. Federal Census and Upshur County Cemetery readings.17,10
