Mary
Houston
Born   18--
Departed this life
January 31, 1830 ?

     Mary Houston and her husband Purnell Houston were originally buried in the Old Hill Family Cemetery.  In 1928 their caskets along with the caskets of Robert and Rebecca Caldwell Hill were removed from the Old Hill Family Cemetery to Mt. Union Cemetery.

     There is a controversy surrounding Mary's maiden name.  Tomlinson/Tumlinson and Carey are both shown in various documents.  Was she married to someone else before Purnell?  Did Purnell marry two separate women with the name of Mary?

     One of the clues in determining her possible maiden name is the will of Cary Tumlinson of Kent County, Delaware dated November 18, 1790.  He bequeath one half part of his estate to Mary Houston to be paid annually in the sum of pounds until her amount of the estate is reached.  If she should die before the amount is reached, then the annual amount is to be divided among her living children until then reach the age of twenty-one.

     "and whereas it is the wish of Purnel Houston and the said Mary Houston his wife--that the said Mary Houston should relinquish her claim of twenty pounds per year and that the said bequest should be received in one sum and laid out in lands in the counties of Monongalia or Harrison Commonwealth of Virginia for the benefit of said Mary Houston and that such lands when purchases shall be made the surity to William Candy who was left executor of the will afordsaid.  Provided he should be willing to pay the aforesaid bequest in one sum.  Therefore we Purnel Houston and Mary Houston wife of said Purnel, do by these present constitute and appoint Benjamin Reeder of Morgan Town in the county of Monongalia in the Commonwealth of Virginia our true and lawful attorney"

  Benjamin Reeder was to facilitate the above portion of the will for Mary and Purnell.  The above was signed by both Mary and Purnell on October 3, 1796.

  Mary and Purnell's daughter, Sarah Houston Hill, named a son Alexander Carey Hill, perhaps for her maternal uncle Cary Tumlinson?

William Lanham and Catherine Ferguson of Monongalia County (West) Virginia

       The Lanham family dates back to 1678 in Prince Georges County when John Lanham first arrived on the Ship Dover from London along with 33 other passengers. John Lanham was indentured to Benjamin Rorer. According to county documents, John was born circa 1660 and died in 1751. He had two wives, Dorothy and Elizabeth. A son, William born circa 1700 to John and Dorothy Lanham. He married Alice Tolburt and they were probably the parents of John Lanham and the grandparents of William. The only other known sibling of William Lanham is his sister Drusilla.

     William Lanham, my paternal great great great great great grandfather, was born on February 4, 1753 to John and Catherine Lanham. The Lanham family lived in Prince Georges County, Maryland and there are records to indicate that William was born in Piscataway Parish. 

     My paternal great great great great great grandmother, Catherine Ferguson has two different records of birth.  Only years are given--1756 and 1757.  She was the daughter of John Ferguson and Bathsheba Griffith.  Prince Georges County, Maryland is the location given for Catherine's birth.

     In 1772, at age nineteen, William purchased 400 acres of land in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia (Core, 204)

     At this point in the story there surfaces a discrepancy in dates.  There are records that William Lanham and Catherine Ferguson were married as early as 1774 and a Maryland record for August 29, 1777.

     There is a record on August 29, 1777 that twenty-four year old William Lanham married Catherine Ferguson the 21/22 year old daughter of John Ferguson and Bathsheba Griffith also of Prince Georges County. 

      This is the first discrepancy I found of the marriage date of 1777.  On June 28, 1774 a deed was recorded from Catherine Ferguson, widow, of Prince Georges County, Maryland to her granddaughter, Catherine Lanham of Prince Georges County, Maryland, wife of William Lanham, a Deed of Gift, for "one negro girl named Lucy about two years old."       

1776 Parish Census Record

     There is a Prince George Parish of Prince Georges County, Maryland record in 1776 that shows William and Catherine as married. There is one male white age 15 to 50 and 2 female whites.  William is listed as age 26 and Catherine age 2? and an 18 year old.  Catherine's age is difficult to read.  No slaves are listed.  The 18 year old could be a sibling of either William or Catherine or live in house help that is white.  Note that Catherine's parents, John and Bathsheba Ferguson are also enumerated on the same page.

     There is a listing in the Muster Rolls of Maryland for William Lanham enrolled in Frederick County, Maryland on July 13, 1776 for service in The American Revolution.(Maryland Historical Society, 43)  There are Lanham's all throughout Maryland at this time and I have not determined whether or not this William Lanham is my paternal great great great great great grandfather.

     There are records of only three children born to the Lanham's. Sometime before 1790, William and Catherine headed west, moving their family to Monongalia County, Virginia which today is Morgantown, West Virginia. Catherine's parents, the Ferguson's also moved to Morgantown and were property owners by 1786. There seems to be some question as to whether Vilender Lanham (my paternal great great great great grandmother) was born in Maryland or Virginia. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the Lanham's were in the process of moving west during her birth.

     William Lanham owned property and slaves in Monongalia County. He was a saddler by trade and also farmed. The first record of the family in Morgantown is dated July 25, 1790. Bishop Francis Asbury, the great Methodist circuit rider, paid his third visit to Morgantown and spent the night at the home of "William Lenham sadlor." (Core, 183)

     In 1799, William served as a jailer for 50 cents a day in Morgantown. During the early 1800's, William served on a variety of grand juries in Monongalia County and was asked to testify for many court cases. He was also asked to help survey some of the early roads that were laid from Morgantown. 

     From 1800-1807 there are annual court documents regarding the Ferguson estate, for which William Lanham was an executor. 

 

     Catherine Lanham also has some records in the county court. In 1803 she had a peace bond sworn out against her by George R. Tingle and in 1806 Catherine was asked to testify that she delivered of Sarah Foster, widow, a male bastard child and in 1811, listed as “Cathy Lanham” she was summoned to testify at court.

1801 Tax Record
Monongalia County, (West) Virginia

     There are numerous records of William and Catherine Lanham in Monongalia County beginning in 1800. William is part of the early tax records dating 1801, 1802, 1804 and 1805.

     It is interesting to note one paternal great great great great great grandfather, William Lanham sold 134 acres on October 27, 1817 to another paternal great great great great great William Frum for $269.00. In 1818 these two families were not united.  On May 14, 1839 William Lanham Pool married Anna Louise Frum, my paternal great great great grandparents.

     I can find no 1830 census enumeration for William or Catherine Lanham.  Her only living child, Mary Lanham Morgan does not have seniors enumerated in her family.  

     There are two Lanham's enumerated in Monongalia County, Benjamin W. Lanham and Thomas Lanham.  I have no knowledge if these two men are members of my Lanham family or how they connect.  Benjamin does have a white woman in Catherine's age group enumerated and he is living in the Eastern District where William and Catherine lived.  Thomas Lanham, also living in the Eastern District does not have a white woman Catherine's age enumerated with the family.

  Of interest are the other Lanham families (Clement, Archibald, Thomas) living in Monongalia County in the late 1790's and early 1800's. There are no records indicating that they are related.  Both Benjamin W. Lanham and Thomas Lanham mentioned above are sons of Archibald Lanham and both were born in Prince Georges County, Maryland.  There is a widow, Lucy Ann Lanham, born in Maryland in 1767.  In the 1850 Eastern District, Monongalia County census she is enumerated with Rebecca Lanham.  

        

     William Lanham died in 1830. His will is dated August 31, 1830 and probated November, 1830.  The will only covers the property of his deceased son, Alexander Ferguson Lanham that was willed to William and is in the chancellery court.  He desired Charles S. Morgan to prosecute and recover those lands.   His son-in-law, Asby Pool also received a parcel of land in the South Park area of Morgantown. 

     Charles Stephen Morgan was at the time of the will, residing in Monongalia County and a member of the Virginia State Senate.  Charles was the brother of Henry Somerville Morgan, William Lanham's son-in-law.

     The exact date of Catherine Ferguson Lanham's death is unknown.  She signed the Will of her husband in November 1830 but she is not part of the 1840 federal census.  

     It is unknown where both William and Catherine Lanham are buried.

Known children of William Lanham and Catherine Ferguson:

1. Alexander Ferguson Lanham born 1773? died in (West) Virginia prior to 1830. County records show that Alexander purchased 100 acres in Dunkard Creek in Monongalia County in 1794. There are a few court records for him in 1807. Alexander F. Lanham has delinquent tax records for property owned in Alexander Brandon’s District in 1809 and 1810. His estate was in the Court of Chancery at Clarksburg, (West) Virginia in 1830 and he willed his property to Charles Morgan, the brother of Henry Somerville Morgan, his sister, Mary’s, husband.
2. Vilender Lanham born 1785 died circa 1830 in Monongalia County married Reverend Asby Pool. (my paternal great great great great grandparents)
3. Mary Lanham born August 23, 1803 in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia died June 23, 1889 married Henry Somerville Morgan about 1824. Henry Somerville Morgan was the grandson of David Morgan the celebrated Indian fighter. He was a tanner and the family lived in the Paw Paw District of Marion County in Rivesville. Henry and Mary raised eight children: Louise M. Morgan born about 1825 married John C. Gallahue and had one son, Harry; Charles R. born in October 23, 1823 married Harriet Fairfax and had one child, May who married C.W. Wolfe; William Lanham Morgan born January 6, 1831 a physician; Edward Livingston Morgan born about 1833 married Susan Ellen Barnes and Eliza Weltz; Stephen A. Morgan born about 1835 married Louise Huffman and had Stephana and Otilla; Sarah K. Morgan born about 1839; and Henry H. B. Morgan, a minister, born July 3, 1847 married Myrtle Merrill and had Lily Sarah who married W. W. Davis and Eva Myrtle who married R.A. Watts.

       Henry died September 26, 1873 and Mary died on June 23, 1886.

William Frum Family of Monongalia County (West) Virginia

     I crafted a piece about my paternal great great great great great grandfather, William Frum, a decade or more ago.  I decided to copy that page from my outdated genealogy website and add any additional research since that time.  There are plenty of records for him and his activities in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia.  His first marriage to Ann Smith (Anna Smith), possible daughter of  Captain Jeremiah Smith of Frederick County, Virginia remains a conundrum.   

     I have also seen on Ancestry records attributed to William.  

1.  One from the Pennsylvania German Society for a William Frame   indentured in Philadelphia to learn the trade of tailor in 1772. 
2.  Another record that attributes his name as William Hobart Frum, the   same as one of his sons.  
3.  A will for a William Frum (signed with his mark as William Frum, Sr) on Ancestry on page 153; however, when I scrolled to the will (which is on pages 153-154 images 379 & 380), it is a will for William Hobart Frum, my paternal great great great great grandfather's son, dated August 26, 1857 and lists his sons Andrew J Frum and William B. Frum as his executors.  The will was filed in November 10, 1868.  The same time frame as William Hobart Frum.
4. William Frum immigrated from Germany.  The only research I have seen is that Eugenus Frum, son of William and Catherine Spence Frum, is listed as having German roots in his obituary.  Eugenus died in 1890 in Oregon, where he had lived for decades.

     I know why it has taken me years to attempt to blog on William Frum and family.  Numerous ancestors have tried to unlock the wife mystery using records from Frederick, Virginia and Monongalia County, (West) Virginia.  Grave stones from over one hundred and seventy five years ago are  either missing, broken or not legible.  Many records are missing.  Family members who wrote articles or journals at the turn of the twentieth century may have had incorrect information.   

     I'll give this my best effort.

The Monongalia Story
II.  The Pioneers

     William Frum(From) has a record of service with the Maryland Troops from Frederick County--Middle District, under Captain Vallentine Creager. DAR records tell us that he was born in Scotland in 1755. I am using his Revolutionary War record as the earliest record of William in America. 

    He removed to Frederick County, Virginia in the Back Creek area by 1780 and, it is believed, married Ann Smith (Anna Smith), daughter of Captain Jeremiah Smith II and Elizabeth Snyder. Together they raised at least eight children. No marriage record has been found to date; however, Ann and William's names are listed as mother and father on Deliah Frum Bailey's and William Hobart Frum's Monongalia County, (West) Virginia death record.

     There are some researchers who think William and Ann removed to Tom's Run, Monongalia County, (West) Virginia about 1790.  I believe that the Frum's were still living in Frederick County, Virginia in 1798.  There is a record dated June 1798 signed by William Frum and a number of members of the Smith family.  They are asking for a road to be built to the Bath Springs from Robert Lockhart's farm and that all those signed have received benefit from the waters in the springs.

1799 Frederick County, Virginia, marriages, 1771-1825
page 34 minister return cropped

     Whether Ann was still alive at that time is unknown; however, there is a marriage record for William Frum and Catherine Spence dated September 23, 1799 in Frederick County, Virginia.  The youngest two Frum children born after 1800 in Monongalia County list Catherine as their mother.

Section of Samuel Smith's Will
Listing the children of William Frum
September 29, 1803

     Much of this is speculation as no marriage records have been located for the marriage of William and Ann. The link to Captain Jeremiah Smith II is also in question, however, Jeremiah’s son, Samuel Smith, a bachelor, in 1803, willed his estate to his relations, and William Frum’s children were named. In fact, my paternal great great great great grandfather Sampson Smith Frum, received the 200 acres tract of land outside of Winchester, Virginia where Samuel Smith lived, the land and farm given to him by his father Captain Jeremiah Smith II. Samuel also gave William’s sons, William, Jr. and Solomon Frum, a 200 acre tract of land on Simpson’s Creek in Harrison County, (West) Virginia. The will and the bequest of land has lead us to the conclusion that Ann was Samuel’s sister and because she was not named in the will, was probably deceased.

     Samuel Smith's will and the land given to William's sons outside Frederick, Virginia may have been the reason the family moved. William Frum is part of the early tax lists and County, District and Superior Court records in Monongalia County as early as 1804. 

1805 Monongalia County Tax Record
1805

      In 1807 in Monongalia County Court there is a record regarding a road to be built by surveyor Robert Hill, my paternal great great great grandfather.  His property was up the hill, north west of Morgantown.  William Frum and William Chipps offered wagons, horses, etc and were considered, "...two honest housekeepers hereby appointed for that purpose...".  This leads me to believe that when the Frum family first removed to Morgantown, that they lived in close proximity to the town.

Eugenus must not have been born yet.

     There are numerous court records in Monongalia County between 1810 to 1820 involving William Frum and his son Sampson Smith Frum. They involve land purchase, assault and debt.

     One of the land purchase documents that again brings into question the name of Ann Frum is the one dated 1817.  The actual deed to the property was between William Frum and two of my other paternal great great great great great grandparents, William Lanham and Catherine Ferguson Lanham dated October 27, 1817.  

     Ann Frum, wife, is listed along with William Frum as a grantor of the sale of 134 1/2 acres on August 9, 1842 to Samuel Frum.  The property is on the Monongalia River beside property owned by his brother, William Frum, Jr.  This looks to have been sold after William Frum died and is possibly the home farm on Tom's Run.  

     William owned a number of parcels of land in and around the Morgantown area along with his son, Sampson Smith Frum after 1817.  Sampson was the largest landowner in the county at his death in 1862 with 1275 acres primarily in the county including the 200 acres in Frederick County, Virginia willed to him by Samuel Smith.

     I had to look for this enumeration since it did not come up on Ancestry.  He is enumerated directly under his son, William H. Frum.  Also on the same page is his son, Samuel Frum.  The names on the census are not clear.  William Frum has something written after the name.  Perhaps Sr.?

     William's land, at his death, was located on Tom's Run, a feeder stream for the Monongahela River in Monongalia County.  It is unknown how many years he lived on that land during his entire residence outside of Morgantown.

     There is a burial marker for William From in the older section of Mt. Pisgah Cemetery on Route 73 in Monongalia County, West Virginia. It is located in the last row near the woods. Beside William, there is a marker for his son, William, Jr., William’s wife Catherine, and several of William and Catherine’s children. William Frum’s daughter, Elizabeth Frum Corrothers and family are also buried at Mt. Pisgah. 

     I have been told, by Ruth Cullen, another Frum researcher, that William Frum is not actually buried at Pisgah. That the burial marker was done by the DAR. His remains, along with other family members, are buried on a somewhat remote hillside near Mt. Pisgah--probably on his Tom's Run property.

Generally believed to be the

Carlisle Cemetery, Elkrun Township, Columbiana County, Ohio

     Back at the infancy of my genealogy search, I located the cemetery where some of my maternal ancestors are buried.  Unfortunately, it was in my infancy and my photographs of the tombstones reflect it.  Also, unfortunately, I have not taken the time in thirty-two years to correct it. 😞

     On Sunday, October 10, 1993, My mother, Martha Jean Stark Hughes and I, drove to Columbiana County, Ohio to find the Carlisle Cemetery in Elkrun Township, Section 29.  Using a township road map, finding the cemetery was easy.  

     We were looking for the Orr and Cannon family final resting places.  I located the information using the Columbiana County Genealogical Societies very informational cemetery books.

Red star marks the location of the
Carlisle Cemetery

     The Carlisle Cemetery is located in Section 29, Elkrun Township on County Road 900(Roller Roaster Road), just north of the intersection of County Road 895 (Cream Road).  My maternal great great great great grandfather, Joseph Orr's property, was very close by.  

     

     We located the Orr family under a very large tree on the back right hand side of the cemetery.  My maternal great great great grandfather, Joseph Orr's was broken off its base and was propped up against the tree with the written side facing the tree.  It was with a great deal of effort that Mom and I were able to turn it around.  My maternal great great great grandmother, Jane Kelso Orr was beside her husband.  

     Looking at the picture, to the left of Joseph and Jane are two of their grandsons who died from their participation in the Civil War, Joseph Frederick Orr and Benjamin Franklin Orr.

     Next we located the grave sites of Lindsey Cannon and his wife Elizabeth Fife Cannon.  At that time I thought they were my maternal great great great grand aunt and uncle.  Further research years later proved they were actually my great great great grandparents.

     Lindsey's tombstone was flat on the ground face down.  There was no way Mom and I could pry it up.  That effort waited until the family came on Christmas Eve.  The males, with the help of a crowbar, lifted it up and propped it against the tombstone base.
