Our Westfall Family Tree
Descendants of Juriaen Westfall and Mary Hansen - Focus On The Westfall's of West Virginia
|
This web page represents material I have collected and combined from
original sources and other researchers over
a long period of time. I am sure that it is
not one hundred percent accurate. Except
for my own line, much of the information on
the third generation and beyond come from Frank
Allen Hales and W. Lynn Hutchinson (now deceased) of West Virginia. Mr. Hutchinson's book, "THE WESTFALLS OF WEST VIRGINIA" is one of the best well documented, authoritative and complete history of the Westfalls that I have read in my almost forty years of genealogy research.
PLEASE NOTE: I have not attempted to
verify material that was donated to me.
You should use this as a guide for your own
research and not regard it as a finished work.
If you have corrections, please let me know.
Provide me with the sources for your conclusions
I will make changes based on my judgment of
the best evidence. Remember, that even the best
evidence is often subject to interpretation.
Please report hypertext links on this page that are not correct
or not working.
Please see the other
Westfall family trees for possible alternate
interpretations and additional lineages. I will
attempt to put as many other Westfall family
trees on this web site as I can. You should
attempt to verify information pertaining to
your lineage. These charts are meant to be a
guide only and not the final authority on Westfall family history. This family tree is based on evidence I had at the time I created this tree. I am 100% positive that it is better than 50% is correct. When I can I will compare what is here to W. Lynn Hutchison's WEST VIRGINIA WESTFALL. Lynn had access to records that I did not have, so I have a great deal of confidence his conclusions were better than mine.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM CURRENTLY WORKING TO MODIFY AND UPDATE THIS PAGE. Until I am able to update this tree, I suggest those interested in the Westfall lineage obtain a copy of the book, WEST VIRGINIA WESTFALLS Their Place in American History, by W. Lynn Hutchison (2015). Lynn traced the Westfall Family from Jurien through and beyond Abel Westfall who migrated from New Jersey to Virginia. He thoroughly researched and documented his work.

Generation No. 1 |
1. JURIAEN WESTFALL may have born in Stettin, East Pomerania (now part of Poland) or Holland, and died Abt. 1667 near Kingston, New York. He married MARY HANSEN Abt. 1654 in New Nertherland. She
was the daughter of Hans Jansen (Hansen).
NOTES AND SOURCES
Juriaen van Westphalen sailed to America from Leyderdorp, Holland, in 1642. He first settled at Rensselaerswyck (now Albany, N. Y.) Nothing has been discovered about Juriaen's parentage. In 1654, he,
along with some other former tenants of
the van Rensselaer patroonship, bought
a tract of land in the Esopus region of
the Hudson Valley, about half way between
Fort Orange (Albany) and New Amsterdam
(New York). The family of Mary Hansen came
to America about 1640 from Holland. Due
to the remote frontier conditions and the
disruptions caused by the Indian war which
swept over the Esopus community, the church
records before 1666 are very meager, so
not all the baptismal records of Juriaen's
children have been found. Subsequent records
and the customary family association of
names among baptismal sponsors, however,
give obvious proof that Juriaen Westvall
and Maretjen Hansen had six children. Juriaen
was susposedly killed by Indians in 1667 while guiding
a group of British soldiers. I have found no source for this claim.
New York Historical
Manuscripts: Dutch Kingston Papers, 1664-1675;
The ship (De Huyttuyn) sailed from Holland
on June 6, and arrived at Rensselaerswyck,
Aug. 11, 1642. Juriaen Westvael was brought
from Holland at the expense of Kiliaen
Van Rensselaer, as a farmer upon his lands,
and he remained as a farm laborer for the
Patroon until his removal to Esopus. "About
1652 or 1653, some of the inhabitants of
Rensselaerwyck, who had grown restive under
the feudal obligations to the Patroon,
settled at this place, and among the number
were Thomas Chambers, Evert Pels and Juriaen
Westvael. ...and in Sept., 1654, a patent
for 32 1/2 morgens of land at Esopus was
granted to Juriaen Westphael."

"Juriaen Bestval (Bestvall, Bestivall,
Westval, Westvael, Westvaelt, van
Westvaele), from Luyderdorp [Leiderdorp,
near Leyden]; came by de Houttuyn
and drew wages in the colony from
Aug. 13, 1642. In July, 1644, he is
referred to as servant of Michiel
Jansz. Jan. 14, 1649, Juriaen Bestval
and Jochem Kettelheym took over from
Evert Pels the remaining term of the
lease, till May 1, 1653, of the farm
formerly occupied by Symon Walichsz;
Oct. 8, 1651, Jochem Kettelheym was
released from his obligations and
Juriaen Bestval became solely responsible.
This farm was on Papscanee Island
and was leased from May 1, 1653, to
May 1, 1658, by Pieter Hartgers, and
in 1658 sold to Volckert Jansz and
Jan Thomasz."

to establish a church at Wiltwyck
(Kingston) and that Rev. Harmanus
Bloom, who had recently arrived from
Holland, would accept the position
as pastor. Except for Thomas
Chambers, Jan Van Osterhout and Cornelious
Slecht, all petitioners signed with
a mark. Juriaen signed with a three
pronged trident mark.

made and a list of the original and newly
surveyed lots, giving the owners' names,

February 7, 1667 court session, Gerrit
Foken, plaintiff, brought suit against
Marretie Hanse, defendant, demanding
102 guilders for his share with interest
which Jur. Westphael had promised
on May 2, 1662. The defendant, Marretie
Hansen, admits the debt of 102 guilders
as also the 16 Schepels of wheat,
and says that she can pay no expenses
and also because of the times, as
well on account of the war as for
other reasons, have not permitted
her to pay. The Hon. court sentences
defendant to pay plaintiff as attorney
for Vockje Janss the demanded 16 sch.

the same were accepted by her deceased
husband Jury Westphael on May 2, 1662.
STOUTENBURG,HENRY A. DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF THE DUTCH
CONGREATION OF OYSTER BAY NEW YORK
Vol.2, P509. Marritje, dau. of Hans
Jansen Noordstrandt married about
1659, Juriaen Westphael and settled
at Kingston, where they had a number
of children baptized. He died about
1667. She then married Jacob Jansen
Stoutenburgh.
John, son of Juriaen and Mary probably leased land on Foxhall Manor, the
estate of Thomas Chambers. John
signed his name as "John Westfall
of Foxhall." Chambers was granted
the title "Lord of Foxhall Manor"
by the British governor of New York.
This may explain the legend in my
family that our immigrant ancestor
was named John who was a "lord
or peer." My grandmother
thought that this person was her great
grandfather (she was mistaken by several
generations). My grandmother
was told her family history by her
grandmother Lydia (Wilson Smith) Westfall
when she was a very young girl. Her
grandmother died when she was ten
years old. It is amazing that she
came as close as she did to the facts
of her ancestry.
There are questions about the order of birth of the children
of Juriaen and Mary. I believe that
It is likely Rymerick was the eldest child, followed by Nicolas
and then John. Only the baptismal
records of Abel, Simon and Ellen have
been found. Because tree charts expand beyond my capability to include every branch, I have choose to include only those families that came through what is today West Virginia, and then only those that are part of my family. I hope, though, that my data will be useful to others not directly related to me. - RNW
Children of JURIAEN WESTFALL and MARY HANSEN are:
The practice in the Dutch Reformed Church was to baptise children as soon as possible after their births. In the recorded baptism records the maiden names of the mother and female witnesses was used, a genealogy gold mine rarely found anywhere else.

Generation No. 2

2. JOHANNES JURIAN WESTFALL (JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1660 in Kingston, New York. He married MARY JACOBS COOL, born January 28, 1682/83 in Kingston, New York, daughter of JACOB COOL and MARITJE SIMONS. She was born Bef. March 7, 1665/66 in Kingston, New York.
Johannes father, Juriaen Westfall and Thomas Chambers were somehow connected. Chambers became an influential
and prosperous citizen of Kingston. In 1672 Governor Lovelace rewarded Thomas
Chambers for his services to the colony.
His estate was named the Manor of Fox Hall
and Thomas became Lord Chambers. He may
be the source of the family legend that
says the immigrant Westfall ancestor was
a lord or a peer. Juriaen and Mary's son
John gave his name as John Westfall of
Fox Hall in the Esopus when he married
Mary Cool (Cole) in 1683. This reference
probably means that he leased land located on Fox Hall Manor. There is no evidence to suggest any connection with Chambers. John was one
of the first to purchase land in the Machackemeck,
(Port Jervis, New York) area in 1699. He
probably died in that area about 1725.

Note by Sandra
Newman Sanchez: John and eighteen
others including his brothers Symon
and Nicholas and his sister, widow
Rymerick Quick, bought land from the
Indians in 1696. This land was principally
in Deerpark Township, Orange County,
New York, known then as the Machackemech
(the Indian word for "Pumpkin
patch"). John moved to
the land with his family in 1699 and
led the Westfall migration to the
Minisink. Johannes was just seven
when his father died. Mary Hansen Westfall
remarried to Jacob Hansen Stoutenburgh and John's siblings were
probably raised their stepfather.

6. JURIAEN WESTFALL (JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Bef. April 27, 1684 in Kingston, New York, and died Bef. December 1731 in Minisink, New Jersey. He married (1) STYNTUN [Christina] VAN KUYKENDAAL Abt. 1710, daughter of LEU

"Juriaen was
among the first settlers of Minisink. He
died prior to December 1731; his widow
(his second wife) remarried to William
Cole." Hutchison, W. Lynn, 1983
Old Sussex County
Families, THE MINISINK EARLY SETTLERS,
pg. 134 (Stickney); The next settlement in historic order was
the one at Minisink proper. It was essentially
a foundation for a village adjacent to
the Minsi tribe headquarters. No positive
knowledge of its status is left us until
the year 1725, although good reason is
given from the tenor of early documents
for believing that a few settlers grouped
in the vicinity some years previously.
The Westfall's in particular were undoubtedly
there previous to that year. On the 7th
of April, 1725, Cornelius Low, Jr., made
a survey and map of six plots of land adjoining
each other there. There were five acres
each in the area upon the New Jersey shore
east of the Delaware River, and six tracts
of land were at the same time located upon
Big Minisink Island, of 55, 25 and 30 acres
each respectively. Each owner of one of
six small lots owned one of the larger
lots on the Island. The owners' names were:
Matthew VanKuykendall, Juriaen Westphael,
and Jan Cortright. A store, blacksmith
shop and hotel were kept there for some
time and the village, named Minisink from
its Indian surroundings, the old Indian
castle being just northeast, their burial
ground bounding it on the West, and their
council chamber or place where their tribal
fires being just across the main stream
of the river on what is now Powwow Hill,
as a place of considerable importance.
The six persons named above are known to
have been in possession or to have taken
possession of their lands shortly after
the before mentioned survey was completed.
Juriaen was involved
in the land disputes between the Westfall's
and Swartwoots concerning the boundary
between New York and New Jersey. The Swartwoots
were north of the line in New York and
Westfall's south of the line in New Jersey.
Juriaen was among the first settlers of
Minisink. He died prior to December 1731;
his widow (his second wife) remarried to
William Cole.

New Jersey Newspaper Extracts,
Perth-Amboy, August 19,
1756: We have a certain
account from the Northern
Frontiers of this Province,
that on Thursday last Abraham
Vanaken, Esq; a Justice
of Peace in the County of
Sussex was shot through
the left arm, and had one
of the fingers of his hand
shot off by an Indian who
had concealed himself in
the cellar of an old house
in one of Vanaken's fields,
and as he was driving his
team loaded with grain,
his daughter who had been
helping him being upon the
top of the load, and run
for her life. The girl in
leaping down happened to
fall and the Indian was
going to dispatch her with
his tomahawk which the father
perceiving, wounded as he
was, made toward the Indian
with his pitch-fork and
saved his daughter from
the stroke; and Vanaken's
son coming up with his gun
at the same time, the Indian
fled and when he was got
to the end of the field
they saw two other indians
join him but they all run
away. This was done within
a mile of Cole's Fort, upon
Mahakamack River near Delaware.
Justice Vanaken lay so ill
of his wounds, that his
life was in great danger.
We have a further account
from the same place that
on Friday last, three men,
to wit, Gerardus Swartwout,
eldest son of Major Swartwout,
Samuel Finch and Peter Westphalen
were found merdered and
stript quit naked, and Swartwout
and Finch scalped by the
Indians, some miles higher
up the River Mahakamack
and with the Province of
New York.

11. JACOB WESTFALL (JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was baptised April
23, 1693 in Kingston, New York; he died about 1784
in New Jersey. He married MARGARET DUYTSCHER November 19, 1717 in Kingston,
New York. She was born in Hurley, New York.
Children of JACOB WESTFALL and MARGARET DUYTSCHER are:
__. i. MARIA WESTFALL, b. January 28, 1718/19; m. THOMAS SCHOONHOVEN
__. ii. ELEANOR MAGDALENE WESTFALL, b. before October 22, 1721, probably Minisink, New Jersey;
d. Virginia; m. (1) DAVID COLE, Bef. 1740, Minisink, New York; maybe (2) JOHN DAVETS (Davis), July 21, 1759; may have m. widowed bro-in-law (3) CORNELIUS WESTFALL, aft. 1770, Hampshire Co., Virginia.
The baptismal
register of the Dutch church in Kingston
lists cousins Jacobus Kuykendaal,
Marretjen Kuykendaal and Eleanor Westfall
with the same date (Oct. 22, 1721).
This date is probably the date the
baptisms were entered in the register
and not the date of the baptism. Or,
it may indicate that three families
made the trip from the Minisink to
Kingston at the same time for the
purpose of baptizing the infants.
In either case I believe that they
were living in the Minisink area of
New Jersey or New York by this time.

12. ABEL WESTFALL (JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Bef. February
9, 1695/96 in Kingston, New York, and died 1755 in
Hampshire Co. (West) Virginia. He married ANNE
BOGARD February 25, 1716/17 in Kingston,
New York, daughter of CORNELIUS BOGARD and
EVA HOERNBECK. She was born May 9, 1697 in
Kingston, New York.
Abel seems to appear
in various records under the aliases of Abram
and Abraham. In the baptismal records for his
children, his given name is listed as Abel except
for his daughter Elizabeth when it is Abraham.
Abel was granted 400 acres in the Northern Neck
of Virginia on the Great South Branch of the
Potomac on Oct 6, 1748. The estate was located
about five miles south of Moorefield in Hardy
County, West Virginia. He purchased adjoining
property in 1755. Abel and John were added to
the Augusta County tax lists on August 28, 1750.
The will of John Bogard was recorded in Augusta
County on September 4, 1746; the executor was
Abel Westfall and Laya (Lea) Westfall served
as a witness. On August 26, 1766 in Augusta
County, Jacob and Hannah Conrad requested that
an account of the administration of John Bogard
be made by John Westfall, the administrator
of Abraham Westfall who was administrator of
John Bogard. The inventory of Abram Westfall
was recorded February 14, 1758 and the sale
bill of Abel Westfall was recorded November
15, 1759. The Augusta County records could refer
to two different Abel's and an Abraham Westfall.
The sale bill of Abel's estate in 1759 was for his son of Jacob Westfall. According
to court testimony, Abel died in 1755 making
a deathbed oral will leaving a portion of the
estate to his son John who had helped him secure
the settlement; His son Cornelius was still living in
New Jersey at that time. Cornelius leased the
400 acre Northern Neck grant in 1761. He took
possession in 1774 of another tract after John
had already transferred at least a portion of
it to a Singleton family. Litigation ending
in 1793 dismissed the title claims of Cornelius'
heirs and their assignee, Jacob Westfall.
EXTRACT OF DEED TO ABEL
WESTFALL FROM LORD THOMAS FAIRFAX, OCT. 6, 1748:
The Right Honorable Thomas Lord Fairfax ...
proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia
... in consideration of [compensation] to me
paid and for the annual rent hereafter reserved
I have given, granted ... unto Abel Westfall
- of the County of Augusta - [a tract of land]
upon the South Fork of the Wapacome or Great
South Branch of Potomach River and bounded by
a survey made by Mr. James Genn as follows ...
[description of survey] containing four hundred
acres together with all rights ... to him the
said Abel Westfall - his heirs and assigns forever
... paying to me, my heirs or assigns ... Proprietors
of the said Northern Neck yearly and every year
on the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel
the Fee Rent of one shilling Sterling Money
for every fifty acres of land hereby granted
... Provided that if the said Abel Westfall
... [does not pay the annual rent for two whole
years, it will be lawfull for me or my heirs,
etc.] to re-enter and hold the [land] as if
this grant had never passed. Given in my office
in the County of Fairfax within my said Proprietary
under my hand and seal, dated this the sixth
day of October ... A.D. One thousand seven hundred
and forty eight.
The wording in this deed is "boiler plate" legalese found on all of Lord Fairfax's deeds to settlers in western Virginia.
Note of Sandra Newman
Sanchez: "George Washington recorded in
his diary (his tent had blown down during the
night and he was in bad humor) perhaps on the
day while surveying ABEL WESTFALL's lot # 9
that the locals behaved worse than a pack of
wild Indians, they could not speak English,
and the men, women and children crowded around
him laughing giggling getting in his line of
sight, etc." Many of the descendants of original imigrants to New Netherland moved from New York and New Jersey to western Virginia, not just the Westfalls. When I looked at the actual survey by Washington, none of the plots were in the areas my research indicated our Westfall ancestors settled. I believe Washington's unrulely "Dutch" were families of these other settlers. It is also likely that if these Dutch descendants came from Minisink or Machackemeck,
(Port Jervis, New York) they may well have been relatives of the Westfalls.
Part of 12CC270-271, page 227: Jacob Westfall
vs. John Singleton, Appeal from the High Court
of Chancery. "Sometime in the year of 1749, Lord Fairfax
by a public advertisement invited settlers to
that part of the northern neck where the land
in question was, promising to make rights to
such as would settle there. A man of the name
of Vanderpool, having previously made a settlement
upon the tract in dispute, he about this time
sold the same to Abel Westfall who took possession
and continued to hold it until the year of 1755
when he died in testate, leaving two sons, Cornelius,
his eldest, and John. Lord Fairfax having granted
a very large tract of country (including within
it the land in question) to Bryant Martin, received
a re conveyance of it and laid off the whole
as a Manor. In the year of 1770 upon the application
of the settlers, he, by a writing under his
hand, agreed to convey to them their respective
settlements for their lives, renewable forever,
reserving an annual rent, which agreement was
proved and recorded. Cornelius Westfall who
at the time of his father's death and long after
lived in the state of New Jersey, removed to
this Commonwealth and took possession of the
land in question about the year of 1773, and
continued to hold it until his death in 1782,
having by his will devised it to his two sons,
Isaac and Zachariah, who afterwards conveyed
the same to Jacob Westfall, the Plaintiff. Cornelius
paid rent for this land for some years, though
Lord Fairfax had refused to convey it to him.
"The defendant who claimed under a purchase
from John Westfall, the younger son of Abel
Westfall, by the defendant's father, and a deed
in consequence thereof from Lord Fairfax in
the year of 1773 and the defendant states in
his answer that it was customary in that part
of the country, for persons having made settlement
rights to transfer the same by deathbed donation
which were always considered valid. That Abel
Westfall made such a disposition of this land
in question to his son, John, who had shared
with him his toil and danger of making this
settlement; that the defendant and his father
held possession until 1774 when Cornelius Westfall
took possession. There is some evidence proving
a custom similar to that mentioned in the answer.
The defendant having recovered the land in ejectment,
this bill was filed, praying for an injunction
and conveyance. This Chancellor dismissed the
bill being of the opinion that the equity therein
stated was neither admitted by the answer nor
established by the evidence. If Lord Fairfax
had not originally invited settlement on his
lands on the South Branch by a promise of making
them titles, he was nevertheless bound by his
advertisement of the 5th of August 1749 to grant
title to all persons settled thereon. That Abel
Westfall being at that time settled on the land
in disputation, was a purchaser from Vanderpool,
the original settler, was entitled to a grant
thereof from Lord Fairfax in the usual terms
of granting his lands; and Abel Westfall dying
as untitled in the year of 1755 without making
a will or other disposition of it, his equitable
interest therein descended to Cornelius Westfall,
his eldest son and heir at law (in possession
of the land). Fall Term, 1793

October 15, 1721 (widower of sister Elizabeth) Machackemeck, Deer Park Township, Orange County, New York; d. Bef. March 11, 1783, Hampshire Co. (West) Virginia.
The baptismal register of the Dutch church in Kingston lists cousins Jacobus Kuykendaal, Marretjen Kuykendaal and Eleanor Westfall with the same date (Oct. 22, 1721). This date is probably the date the baptisms were entered in the register and not the date of the baptism. Or, it may indicate that three families made the trip from the Minisink to Kingston at the same time for the purpose of baptizing the infants. In either case I believe that they were living in the Minisink area of New Jersey or New York by this time.

Son-in-law Michael Harness was the administrator of the estates
of Euric [Juriaen/George] and Blandina Westfall in March

Virginia. Juriaen and Blandina purchased
a farm in Upper Smithfield (now Westfall
Township, Pike County), Pennsylvania in
1735. They may have migrated to Virginia
with a daughter and son-in-law Michael
Harness leaving the Pennsylvania farm to
their son Symen. Apparently no male issue moved to Virginia.

Gabriel Jones, Cur [County Clerk]
The History of
Upshur County, West Virginia says that
Jacob was the first sheriff of Randolph
County, the second county clerk and a lieutenant
of the Randolph County militia. This history
also says the Jacob was the son of James
Westfall who settled in Tygart's Valley
in 1772. All evidence argues against this.
The Jacob who was the first sheriff (actualy,
county clerk) was the Jacob who married
Sidney Pugh and died in Randolph County,
Va. in 1801. He was probably not
the son of Jacob and Judith.
Of the children of Jacob and Judith, William was baptized in
the DRC church in New York or New Jersey. All of the rest may have been born in Virginia.
Children of JACOB WESTFALL and JUDITH HORNBECK are:
__. i. WILLIAM WESTFALL, b. Baptised. March
26, 1735, Minisink, New Jersey; d. Aft.
1819, prob. in Ohio.

__. v. ABEL WESTFALL, born 18 November 1754 in Augusta County, Virginia; died 30 May 1818 in Knox County, Indiana. A 30 acre tract was surveyed in his name
on Apr. 26, 1783 along the South Branch.
In 1805 he responded to a Hardy Co. law
suit from Ross Co., Ohio. Re tried to establish
a town along the Sciota River in present
day Pickaway Co., Ohio on 1000 acres he
acquired. The town of Westfall had a post
office in 1805 and competed with Chillicothe
for awhile but eventually went to decay.
Abel moved to Indiana where he became a
justice. Abel's will was probated Aug.
10, 1814 in Knox County, Indiana. He was
buried in the Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield,

33. ELIZABETH WESTFALL (JACOB3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Bef. January
16, 1725/26 in Sineaquan, New York. She married CORNELIUS WESTFALL, November 20, 1747 in Minisink. Cornelius was the son of ABEL WESTFALL and ANNE BOGARD. His data is immediately below.
One source claims Elizabeth was born in Rochester, NY. However
the Machackemeck Dutch Reformed Church record of marriage bans shows, Oct.
11, 1747 [banns published]; Cornelis Westfale
y.m. born Machackemeck to Lisabeth Westfael
y.d. born Sineaquan, both dwelling there;
married November 20.
Their children are listed below under Cornelius.
34. CORNELIUS WESTFALL (ABEL3,
JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Bef. October 15, 1721 in Machackemeck, Deer Park Township, Orange
County, New York, and died Bef. March 11, 1783 in
Hampshire County, Virginia. He married (1) his first cousin
ELIZABETH WESTFALL (above) November 20, 1747 in Minisink,
New York, daughter of JACOB WESTFALL and MARGARET
DUYTSCHER. She was born Bef. January 16, 1725/26
in Sineaquan, New York. He married (2) ELANORE
MAGDALENE WESTFALL aft. 1770 probably in Hampshire
County. I believe it is likely she was also the daughter of JACOB WESTFALL and MARGARET
DUYTSCHER. If so, she was born baptised on October 22, 1721
in Minisink, New Jersey or Mechameck, New York.
Most Westfall family researchers have assumed
that Cornelius and Elizabeth were the parents
of Cornelius Westfall who married Elizabeth Helmick
in Randolph County and lived in Lewis County, but the younger Cornelius was the son of Jacob,
eldest son of Cornelius Sr. Elizabeth Westfall.
"Baptized Oct. 15, 1721; witnesses Zoloman Freer,
Claartjen Westvaal, Machackemeck Dutch Reformed Church, Oct.
11, 1747, [date marriage banns were published] Cornelis Westfale
y.m. [young man] born Machackemeck to Lisabeth Westfael
y.d. [young dame] born Sineaquan, both dwelling there;
married November 20."
After the death of Elizabeth, Cornelius seems to have remarried to Elizabeth's sister
Eleanor, the widow of David Cole. This is
supported by the appearance of Eleanor
Westfall in the 1783 Hampshire County tax
lists after the death of Cornelius and
in records of his estate. In his will and probate,
are the names of his then wife Magdalene and Eleanor. This
evidence is largely circumstantial but, I subscribe to the idea Elizabeth's sister Eleanor was the second wife of Cornelius. Both women were his first cousins, not an uncommon practice then.
WILL OF CORNELIUS WESTFALL, HAMPSHIRE COUNTY,
VA., Dated Feb. 8, 1781; probated, Hampshire
Co., Va., March 11, 1783 "In the
name of God Amen, I Cornelius Westfall

unto my beloved sons, Isaac Westfall

35. JOHN WESTFALL (ABEL3,
JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was baptised on October 25, 1724 in Minisink, New Jersey, and died April 1789 in Hardy County, Virginia. He married SARAH VERNOY, daughter of JOHANNES VERNOY and JANNEKER LOUW. Sarah was born on February 6, 1731/32 in Maryland, and died Abt. 1791 in Hardy County, Virginia.
On September 4, 1746, John Westfall is a witness to the will of John Bogard. John Westfall came to Augusta County, Virginia from New York probably 1745-46. On June 18, 1747,
he qualifies as constable in Hampshire
County, Virginia. On April 13, 1789, his
will is probated in Hardy County, Virginia.
John owned land next to his father Abel on South
Branchy of Potomac River. All children
except Jacob removed to Knox Co., Indiana.
The will of Sarah (Vernoy) Westfall is
proven and recorded in January 1792 in
Hardy County, Virginia
The will of John Westfall states in part: "...I
bequeath unto my beloved wife, Sarah, one
third part of my land during her life -
also my negro, Jack, and my wench Megigen,
and one third of my movable property...
I give and bequeath to my sons, Isaac and
Jacob Westfall, my plantation I now live
on ... each of them to have an equal part
of upland and bottom land - my son Isaac
to have the upper part of said plantation...
It is my will that my aforesaid plantation
be appraised by two or more creditable
men and that my sons, Isaac and Jacob Westfall
pay to my sons Abell, John, Cornelius and
Abraham Westfall ... one-sixth part of
such valuation, deducting out of such payment
what I formerly gave them... I bequeath
to my son Isaac Westfall my negro, Tom,
he paying to each of his Brothers one sixth
part of the valuation of said negro ...
It is my will that the remainder of my
property be equally divided amongst all
my children and lastly, I do constitute
and appoint my trusty friends, Jacob Fisher
and Ezaekiel Bogard, also my sons Abell
and Cornelius Westfall, Executors of this
my last will and testament - Signed with
my hand and sealed this 9th Feby., 1789.
This will properly signed, witnessed and
admitted to probate in County the 13th
day of April, 1789. Ezekiel Bogard and
Cornelius Westfall in open Court, refused
taking upon themselves the burden of the
Execution which is ordered to be certified.

49. JACOB WESTFALL (CORNELIUS4,
ABEL3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was baptised March 11, 1753 in Minisink, New Jersey. Some researchers claim the Jacob died Abt. 1795 possible in Bullit
County, Kentucky and his wife was Judith Booth. In fact there is convincing evidence that Jacob, son of Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall died in Hamshire Co. and left four sons. The name of his wife is not clearly mentioned in the relative records.
Jacob served during the American Revolution in Capt. Abel Westfall's 8th Virginia Regiment. Abel was the son of John Westfall and Jacob's cousin. Duty rosters for the Capt. Abel Westfall's regiment lists Sgt. Jacob Westfall. Jacob was listed as sick or absent because of illness in the rosters. Whatever his illness was it may have contributed to his death as a relatively young man, probably in his late 30's.
Jacob was one of the executors of
the will of his father Cornelius. He apparently
purchased shares of his father's estate from his brothers Isaac and Zachariah. The land
was situated in that part of Hampshire
Co. which later became Hardy Co. and later
became Pendleton County. Jacob remained
in Hardy Co. at least until 1786. On Feb.
7, 1786, he sold the rights to his share,
including the share he purchased from Isaac,
of 95 acres with the contingency that his
brother Zachariah would sell his share
also. There was no dower interest release
following the entry in the deed book, indicating
that his wife was no longer living.
"INDENTURE, ZACHARIAH WESTFALL TO JACOB WESTFALL JR., 28 Oct.
1789: This indenture of agreement made
this twenty-eighth day of October in the
year of our Lord one thousand, seven hundred

Westfall of the County of Randolph and
the State of Virginia for and in the consideration

for the more efficient conveyance of land
to the said Jacob Westfall Jr. his heirs
and assigns. In witness whereof I have
here unto set my hand and seal the day
and year above be written.
[signature] Zachariah Westfall,Signed Sealed and acknowledged in the presence of Isaac Westfall, Robr. McCabe At a court held for Hardy County the 12th day of April 1790
This Indenture and wording was proven by the oaths of the witnesses and ordered
to be recorded By the Court [clerk] Ed Williams"
Part of 12CC270-271, page 227: Jacob Westfall vs. John Singleton,
Appeal from the High Court of Chancery.
"Sometime in the year of 1749, Lord
Fairfax by a public advertisement invited
settlers to that part of the northern neck
where the land in question was, promising
to make rights to such as would settle
there. A man of the name of Vanderpool,
having previously made a settlement upon
the tract in dispute, he about this time
sold the same to Abel Westfall who took
possession and continued to hold it until
the year of 1755 when he died intestate,
leaving two sons, Cornelius, his eldest,
and John. Lord Fairfax having granted a
very large tract of country (including
within it the land in question) to Bryant
Martin, received a reconveyance of it and
laid off the whole as a Manor.
"In the year of 1770 upon the application
of the settlers, he, by a writing under
his hand, agreed to convey to them their
respective settlements for their lives,
renewable forever, reserving an annual
rent, which agreement was proved and recorded.
Cornelius Westfall who at the time of his
father's death and long after lived in
the state of New Jersey, removed to this
Commonwealth and took possession of the
land in question about the year of 1773,
and continued to hold it until his death
in 1782, having by his will devised it
to his two sons, Isaac and Zachariah, who
afterwards conveyed the same to Jacob Westfall,
the Plaintiff. Cornelius paid rent for
this land for some years, though Lord Fairfax
had refused to convey it to him.
"The defendant who claimed under a
purchase from John Westfall, the younger
son of Abel Westfall, by the defendant's
father, and a deed in consequence thereof
from Lord Fairfax in the year of 1773 [1775?]
and the defendant states in his answer
that it was customary in that part of the
country, for persons having made settlement
rights to transfer the same by deathbed
donation which were always considered valid.
That Abel Westfall made such a disposition
of this land in question to his son, John,
who had shared with him his toil and danger
of making this settlement; that the defendant
and his father held possession until 1774
when Cornelius Westfall took possession.
There is some evidence proving a custom
similar to that mentioned in the answer.
The defendant having recovered the land
in ejectment, this bill was filed, praying
for an injunction and conveyance. This
Chancellor dismissed the bill being of
the opinion that the equity therein stated
was neither admitted by the answer nor
established by the evidence. If Lord Fairfax
had not originally invited settlement on
his lands on the South Branch by a promise
of making them titles, he was nevertheless
bound by his advertisement of the 5th of
August 1749 to grant title to all persons
settled thereon. That Abel Westfall being
at that time settled on the land in disputation,
was a purchaser from Vanderpool, the original
settler, was entitled to a grant thereof
from Lord Fairfax in the usual terms of
granting his lands; and Abel Westfall dying
as untitled in the year of 1755 without
making a will or other disposition of it,
his equitable interest therein descended
to Cornelius Westfall, his eldest son and
heir at law (in possession of the land). Fall Term, 1793"
My take on this document, this is a
ruling on an appeal of an earlier ruling
by the High Court Chancellor that awarded
the land to John Singleton because of Abel's
deathbed donation to his son John (who
sold the land to Singleton's father). The
ruling in this appeal, however, seems to
reverse that and states that Cornelius
was the rightful heir because Able died
intestate. If someone thinks I'm
way off base here, please let me know and
give me your interpretation. I may be missing
some documents that would clear up this
question. - RNW
The names and relationship between Jacob, the eldest son of Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall this document raises the question of who of the several Jacob Westfall's in the area was appointed County Clerk of Randolph Co. It seems to me that it has to be our Jacob, son of Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall.
CALENDAR OF VIRGINIA STATE PAPERS, 1652-1781. Eleven volumes. Richmond, Virginia: Commonwealth of Virginia, Vol. 6, pages 269-270
"JACOB WESTFALL'S BOND AS CLERK OF RANDOLPH COUNTY; Know all men by those presents that we, Jacob Westfall of the county of Hardy, and Hezekiah Rosenkrons & Cornelius Westfall, of the county of Randolph, and
commonwealth of Virginia, are held and
firmly bound unto his Excellency Henry
Lee, Esq., Governor of the Commonwealth
of Virginia, and to his successors, in
the just and full sum of one thousand pounds
current money, for which payment well and
truly to be made and done, we bind ourselves,
our heirs, executors and administrators
Jointly severally and firmly by these presents.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals
this 28th day of January, 1793.
The condition of the above obligation is, that whereas the
above Bound Jacob Westfall hath this day
by the court of the said county of Randolph,
been appointed clerk of the Court for the
said County. If, therefore, the said Jacob
Westfall doth duly and faithfully execute
his office, and doth not, at any time,
remove or carry, or suffer to be removed
or carried out of the said county, the
Records and papers of the Court whereof
he is clerk, or any part thereof, except
in cases allowed by law, then this obligation
to be void, otherwise to remain in full
force and virtue in law.
Signed, sealed, and acknowledged in open Court. JACOB WESTFALL [seal] HEZEKIAH ROSEKRONS [seal] CORN'L WESTFALL [seal] Teste: ROBERT MAXWELL, Sen'r Magistrate
Ralph Durret and Lynn Hutchinson (as of 1983) believed that this
Jacob (in the above bond) was the son of
John and grandson of Abel Westfall. That would make Hezekiah Rosenkrans
his brother-in-law (husband of Margaret,
daughter of Cornelius) and Cornelius (Jr.)
was his brother. Jacob, son of
John, was from Hardy County and he apparently
moved out of the county about the time
of this bond. However, if the Jacob who was the husband
of Judith Booth removed to
Kentucky in 1789, then the bond was probably our Jacob. If so, the date of this document helps establish Jacob's date of death (see the following document). I extracted the text of this bond from a printed copy. We need to see the original document to rule out errors.
On August 26, 1795, a complaint was recorded in Randolph County
that two orphans, sons of Jacob Westfall
and living with Hezekiah Rosecrance, ought
to be bound. Joseph and Jonathan were bound
to Hezekiah until each reaches legal age.
At the February 1796 court, Joseph declared
he was about 21. The will of Josiah Westfall,
alias Joseph, was recorded in Randolph
County on July 9, 1802. he mentions his
brother Cornelius of Harrison County, his
brother Jonathan, and Zachariah Westfall.
Among those owing money to Joseph's estate
are Zachariah Westfall for two years labor
and Hezekiah Rosecrance for 17 days of
work. Joseph Westfall appears in the Randolph
Co. tax lists with Hezekiah Rosecrance
in 1802, and by himself from 1807 to 1811.
A Elizabeth Westfall appears in the personal
property tax lists of Randolph Co. in 1790
through 1793 being charged with a white
tithable between 16 and 21 in each of those
years. If the tithable was Joseph, then
Elizabeth might be Jacob's widow. [W. Lynn Hutchison, 1983]. It is also possible that the Elizabeth who made a deed of gift from Bullitt Co., KY on 19 Mar. 1799 to her son Samuel Westfall of the same county, "...for the natural love and affection I have
for my beloved son, hereunto moving, all
my right to 1/3 part of tract in Hardy
Co., Virginia near to Morefield Town.
Signed Elizabeth (X her mar) Westfall.

50. JOHN
WESTFALL
(CORNELIUS4,
ABEL3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1758, and died December 12, 1824 in Harrison County, Virginia. He married MARGARET WOLFE,
daughter of NICHOLAS WOLFE and CHRISTINA. She was born Abt. 1766.
John Westfall was
out of the "country" when his
father made his will in 1781. John Westfall
of Harrison Co. filed a service declaration
dated June 15, 1818 in which he states
he enlisted in 1780 from Hampshire Co.
in Capt. Wallace's Company of the Virginia
Line 7th Regiment. He gave his age as 60
and his wife's as 54; his occupation was
a laborer at which he could no longer earn
a living. John married Margaret Wolfe,
daughter of Nicholas and Christina Wolfe
and sister to Hannah, wife of Zachariah
Westfall. John Westfall and wife Margaret
of Harrison Co. sold a tract in Randolph
Co. formerly belonging to Nicholas Woolf,
deceased, to Hezekiah Rosecrance on Oct.
24, 1803. A John Westfall appears in the
Randolph Co. personal property tax lists
for 1787, 1790, 1791 and 1795 through 1801;
and in the Harrison Co. lists for 1792
and 1793. A survey for John Westfall, assignee
of William Westfall, was recorded in Randolph
Co. in 1791. He is listed in the 1810 and
1820 censuses for Harrison County. A request
for exemption from county levies was granted
to John on June 15, 1818. John died on
Dec. 12, 1824. Jacob Westfall appeared
at the June 20, 1825 Harrison Co. court
to request letters of administration of
John's estate. Jacob could very well be
his son as one male is listed with John
in the 1820 census. [W. Lynn Hutchison,

52. ISAAC
WESTFALL (CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1762,
and died Abt. 1803 in Pendleton County, Virginia.
Isaac Westfall
appears in the Pendleton and Hardy Co.
personal property tax lists from 1790 to
1796, sometimes as Isaac Senior. An Isaac
Westfall appears in the Randolph Co. personal
property tax lists in 1787 and 1789. This
may have been the same Isaac having accompanied
his brother Zachariah to Randolph Co. and
acquiring some property. In Randolph Co.
on Aug. 20, 1803 the inventory of the sale
of Isaac Westfall's Randolph Co. estate
is recorded, and again on Sept. 17, 1803
appears the appraisement of his personal
effects in Pendleton Co. Zachariah Westfall
was the administrator. On June 27, 1803
the minor heirs of Isaac were assigned
guardians: Mary to Jacob Weese Sr.; Eve
to Jacob Weese Jr.; Moses to John Wilson
(born about 1794); Solomon to Moses Wilson
(married Mary Moore); Cornelius to Hezekiah
Rosencranse then Henry Harper. [W. Lynn

Cornelius
Westfall as a minor child of
Isaac Westfall, deceased, was
bound to Hezekiah Rosencranse
in Pendleton County in 1803,
then to Henry Harper. This Cornelius
Westfall is probably the same
who owned land on Salt Lick Creek
in now Braxton Co. from 1817
until he moved to Randolph Co.
about 1827. He did not appear
in the 1840 census for Virginia.
Cornelius appears on the 1820
census for Lewis Co., Virginia
in the 26-45 age bracket. A young
female between 16 and 26 years
of age and several children indicate
that this Cornelius was probably
not much older than 26 in 1820.
MOSES WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1794, Virginia.
Moses
Westfall, a minor child of Isaac
Westfall, deceased, was bound
to John Wilson in Pendleton County
in 1803. A Moses Westfall, age
56, appears on the 1850 census
of Hardy Co., Virginia. He is
listed in a household other than
his own.

PLEASE NOTE:
Zachariah and his descendants now have their own
section. Some errors in this tree were pointed
out to me. Because of the numbering system,
it is difficult to change a tree. The new section
uses a family group sheet format that makes it easier
to make changes when necessary. As I merge
the information from this page into the new section,
I will eliminate if from here to avoid confusion.
Eventually, I hope to have

Abel Westfall served
as a captain in the 8th Virginia Regiment
from 1776 to Nov. 22, 1777. A 30 acre tract
was surveyed in his name on Apr. 26, 1783
along the South Branch. In 1805 he responded
to a Hardy Co. law suit from Ross Co.,
Ohio. He tried to establish a town along
the Sciota River in present day Pickaway
Co., Ohio on 1000 acres he acquired. The
town of Westfall had a post office in 1805
and competed with Chillicothe for awhile
but eventually went to decay. Abel moved
to Indiana where he became a justice of
the peace. Abel's will was probated
Aug. 10, 1814 in Knox County, Indiana.
He was buried in the Grandview Cemetery,
Bloomfield, Indiana. [W. Lynn Hutchison,

56. CORNELIUS
WESTFALL (JOHN4, ABEL3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born March 9,
1756, and died in Greene County, Indiana. He
married (1) ELIZABETH SPRINGSTON April
5, 1787 in Harrison County, Virginia. He married
(2) SARAH RUMSONERS January 12, 1804
in Ross County, Ohio. She was born Abt. 1768.
George, Jacob,
Job, William, James and Cornelius Westfall
settled in the Valley as early as 1772.
They were, perhaps, brothers and came to
Randolph from Pendleton. Cornelius Westfall
was the second sheriff of Randolph in 1789.
Cornelius Westfall
enlisted in 1776 as orderly-sergeant in
his brother Abel's company; he was appointed
ensign in 1777 and served until 1778. Cornelius
Westfall married Sarah Rumsoners on Jan.
12, 1804 in Ross Co., Ohio. Cornelius Westfall
of Monongalia Co. and Samuel Hanaway granted
1000 acres in Randolph Co. on Davis and
[Horse] Runs of Leading Creek on Sept.
29, 1788. Then in 1803, Samuel Hanaway
of Monongalia Co. and Cornelius Westfall
of Ross Co., Ohio also sold property in
Randolph Co. on April 6, 1802. Cornelius
appears many times in the Virginia land
grant survey records holding property recorded
under Monongalia, Harrison and Randolph
Co. at various times in the 1780's and
1790's. Cornelius later moved from Ross
Co. to Indiana. He died in Greene Co.,
Indiana. Cornelius may have first married
widow Elizabeth Springstone in 1787 in
Harrison County. The marriage bond was
signed first by Cornelius Westfall Sr.
and second by Cornelius Westfall Esq. and
was dated April 5, 1787. A survey of other
marriage bonds of this period indicated
that the groom always signed first and
was always listed first, in this case,
Cornelius Senior. Cornelius, son of John,
last paid personal property tax in Hampshire
Co. in 1783. The Cornelii are numerous
in the personal property tax records. One
is listed in Harrison Co. for 1785 and
1786; Cornelius Esq. appears in 1786 also
with two tithables. A Cornelius Westfall
paid tax under Randolph Co. in 1787, and
then in 1788 with a tithable between 16
and 21 years old. In 1789, only a Cornelius
between 16 and 21 is listed; then a Cornelius
over 21 is listed from 1790 to 1795. From
1797 to 1800, a Cornelius Sr. and Cornelius
Jr. were taxed; neither appears after 1800.
I have a problem with the fact that from
1783 to 1795 only one Cornelius paid personal
property taxes except in 1786 and 1788.
One of the Cornelii was appointed Harrison
County Justice of Peace in 1784 and Gentleman
Cornelius Westfall listed tax payers in
1785. Both of these are likely to be the
Cornelius Esq. who also seems to be the
son of Cornelius rather that John. It is
difficult to differentiate this Cornelius
from his cousin Cornelius. [W. Lynn Hutchison,
1983]

57. ABRAHAM
WESTFALL (JOHN4, ABEL3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1760
in Hampshire Co., Virginia, and died January 1833
in Knox County, Indiana. He married MASSEY HARBIN
October 11, 1789 in Vincennes, Indiana.
Abraham Westfall
served as a private in the 8th Virginia
Regiment under his brother Capt. Abel Westfall.
He was born in 1758 and died about January
1833. An Abraham paid personal property
tax in Hampshire Co. only in 1783. He married
Massey Harbin on Oct. 11, 1789 in Vincennes,
Indiana. Massey was the daughter of Joshua
and Elizabeth Harbin and was born about
1722. Abraham was appointed a judge of
the Probate Court of Know Co., Indiana
in 1801. [W. Lynn Hutchison, 1983]

59. ISAAC
WESTFALL (JOHN4, ABEL3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1762.
He married ELIZABETH.
Isaac Westfall,
born in 1762, was the youngest son of John
Westfall and did not serve in the Revolutionary
War. He was also the last son to move to
Indiana. Isaac begins appearing in
the Hardy Co. personal property tax lists
in 1789. His wife's name was Elizabeth
according to the record of the sale of
his father's estate in 1793. Isaac seems
to have purchased two tracts from the Poage
family in Pendleton Co. on Aug. 5, 1793.
Out of one of the tracts, Isaac Westfall
Esq. and wife Elizabeth sold an acre to
the elders of the Lutheran and Presbyterian
churches on Mar. 6, 1797. The rest of the
land was sold to James Dyer Jr. and his
brother John, also on Mar. 6, 1797. A commission
was ordered to visit Elizabeth, for whom
it was inconvenient to travel, to obtain
her dower release; her acknowledgement
was recorded on Mar. 14, 1797. Recorded
in Randolph Co. land grants on Oct. 22,
1798: Jacob Westfall acting with power
of attorney for Isaac Westfall, formerly
of Pendleton Co., sold a tract to James
Dyer. The letter of attorney was proven
in Pendleton Co. on Apr. 4, 1797. He appears
in the Pendleton Co. tax lists as the younger
Isaac until 1797. [W. Lynn Hutchison, 1983]
I believe Isaac
is the grandfather of Edward Dixon Westfall
profiled in A. J. Sowell's "Early
Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest
Texas. Isaac was a surveyor and followed
that profession in Indiana.
Child of ISAAC WESTFALL
and ELIZABETH is:

Generation

Please note the rearrangement of Cornelius Westfall. Until I can correct this
family tree, his descendants will be off by one generation less. I also will add the proper links.
61a.
CORNELIUS WESTFALL
(JACOB5,
CORNELIUS4,
ABEL3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1)
was born about 1769-70 probably in Virginia (censuses 1810-1840) and died Abt. 1844 in Lewis (Upshur) County, Virginia.
He married ELIZABETH HELMICK January 13, 1796 in Randolph Co., Virginia. She was born Abt.
1775, the daughter of Jacob Helmick, and died Bef. 1815. He married second EDITH WILSON
, probably the daughter of George Wilson, on April 02, 1815 in Harrison County. Lewis and later Baxton counties
were formed from Harrison County. Edith apparently died between 1820 and 1830.
Revolutionary War
Pension application R-11333, National Archives,
Washington, D.C. Cornelieus Westfall of
Lewis County an applicant for a pension.
Declaration made in the spring of 1834.
Jacob J. Jackson of Lewis County a gentleman
of character and substance says that some
short time past Westfall being at his house
and having previously heard that he had
applied for a pension and that subject
being introduced in conversation, he Jackson
told Westfall, "that in swearing that
he had been a soldier in the Revolutionary
War he ad sworn to a lie." Westfall
replied, "You don't know as much as
you think you do." Jackson then read
and explained the pension law to Westfall,
after which Westfall said he had been ...
upon by "them fellows" that he
had been made to believe that he was entitled
to a pension for services in the Indian
wars that were carried on after the War
of the Revolution had terminated. Westfall
then told Jackson that Jonathan Wamsley
"had done him disservice." Respectfully
Reported, W G Singleton, Special Agent,
July 1834.
I believe that
Jackson knew that Cornelius could not have
served during gthe Rev. War because he
was too young. This would lend credence
that he was not the son, but the grandson
of Cornelius and Elizabeth (or sister Eleanor)
Westfall.

62. JOB
WESTFALL (WILLIAM5, JACOB4, JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) died 1822 in Darke
County, Ohio. He married (1) HANNAH. He married
(2) MARGARET.
"The Westfall
Family. George, Jacob, Job, William, James
and Cornelius Westfall settled in the Valley
as early as 1772. They were, perhaps, brothers
and came to Randolph from Pendleton. [A
History of Randolph County West Virginia]
Job Westfall owned
land adjacent to his father's in then Randolph
County. William Westfall sold Job his estate
in 1795 which Job and wife Hannah resold
on Oct. 26, 1795 to William Stalnaker.
In the Randolph Co. deed book, Job Westfall
of Hamilton Co. of North Western Territory
granted his homestead on Teters Creek on
Aug. 27, 1798 via letter of attorney dated
May 15, 1798. Job was also delinquent of
taxes; the land was sold in 1814 to pay
Randolph Co. taxes. Job owned 140 acres
near William, Joel and Absolom in Montgomery
County, Ohio. In 1814 Job Sr. and Job Jr.
began paying land taxes in Miami Co., Ohio.
The administrator bond of George Adams
for Job Westfall was dated Jan. 4, 1823
in Darke Co., Ohio. George Adams was to
reconvey the tract, which Job originally
entered in Miami Co., to Job's children
after the principal and interest were paid;
Job apparently borrowed from Adams to purchase
the land. The west half was to go to his
son William and the east half to his children
by his second wife. his heirs involved
in this transaction in 1827 were William,
Diana, Job, Deborah, Levi, Eli, Margaret
and Elizabeth. A Margaret Westfall appears
in the census of 1830 in place of Job;
she could be his widow. [W. Lynn Hutchison,
1983]

63. WILLIAM
WESTFALL (WILLIAM5, JACOB4, JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1768,
and died Abt. September 1821 in Randolph County,
Virginia. He married ELIZABETH. She was born
Abt. 1785 in Virginia.
William Westfall
is on the Randolph Co. tax lists until
1806. A William appearing in the 1810 Harrison
Co. census and the 1820 Randolph Co. census
is consistent with the age of William Junior.
The personal property tax lists show William
moved (or, perhaps county lines moved)
from Harrison Co. back to Randolph Co.
about 1814. William Jr. married an Elizabeth
as indicated by a Randolph Co. grant dated
July 28, 1794. The appraisement of the
estate of William Jr. was recorded in Randolph
Co. in Sept. 1821; Elizabeth Westfall and
Adam Westfall were administrators. Among
the buyers at the estate were the widow
Elizabeth, Adam Westfall, John Westfall,
Job Westfall and Jacob Westfall. According
to the 1820 Census, William Jr. was possibly
survived by five sons and three daughters
still living at home. [W. Lynn Hutchison,
1983].
Personal property
taxes of William Westfall for Randolph
Co., paid by father, William sr. in 1789.
Some of these Westfall's may be the Gilmer
County, West Virginia clan. It is fairly
certain that Jacob remained in Randolph
County. Job was living in Randolph Co.
when the 1820 census was taken.
Elizabeth Westfall,
age 65, appears on the 1850 census of Randolph
Co. She is in the Isaac Roy household and
the remark "pauper" is by her
name. Also, Elizabeth Westfall, age 70,
appears on the 1850 census of Gilmer County
in the John Westfall household (some of
the Randolph Co. Westfall's appear to have
removed to Gilmer Co. before 1840). I suspect
the Randolph Co. Elizabeth is the widow
of William Westfall of Randolph Co.

64. MICHAEL
WESTFALL (WILLIAM5, JACOB4, JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1770.
He married (1) MARY HELMICK November 3, 1803
in Randolph County, (West) Virginia. He married (2)
ELIZABETH KIRKENDALL April 25, 1825 in Pendleton
County, (West) Virginia.
Michael Westfall
is listed on the 1810 census for Pendleton
Co., Virginia. He is also on the 1820,
1830 and 1840 censuses for Randolph Co.
On the 1820 census he is on the same page
as William and Job Westfall. On the 1830
census he is listed on the same page as
Cornelius Westfall, Jacob Westfall (son
of William) and Walter Westfall. Michael
may have been the eldest son of William.
However, there is no direct evidence of
this relationship. I've attached Jacob
and Michael Westfall of Pendleton Co. (1850
Census) to Michael senior, but I have no
firm evidence to support this relationship.
Elizabeth Kirkendall may not have been
Michael's first wife. If the probable age
of Jacob (possibly his son) is correct
then Elizabeth could not have been his
mother. The fact that Michael would have
been about 55 years of age also support
this assumption.

4, 1798 in Randolph County, Virginia, daughter of
WILLIAM WHITE and MARY WALLACE. She was born Abt.
1779, and died Aft. 1861 in Buckhannon, Upshur County,
(West) Virginia. He married (2) PRISCILLA ROLLINS
September 23, 1821 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia.
She was born Abt. 1796 in Virginia.
Joel Westfall is
listed on the 1810, 1840 and 1850 censuses
for Harrison Co. and the 1820 and 1830
censuses for Lewis Co. This probably reflects
changes in county boundaries rather than
migration by the family.

67. JACOB
WESTFALL (JOHN5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1790
in Hardy Co., Virginia, and died 1848 in Braxton
County, (West) Virginia. He married DOLLY WILSON
September 21, 1807 in Randolph County, (West) Virginia.
She was born Abt. 1790 in Virginia, and died 1850
in Braxton County, (West) Virginia.
A Jacob Westfall
of about the right age appears on the Virginia
censuses for 1810 Harrison Co., 1820 and
1830 Lewis Co. and the 1840 Braxton Co.
census. His wife Dolly and children appear
on the 1850 Braxton Co. census. John Westfall
died on Dec. 12, 1824. Jacob Westfall appeared
at the June 20, 1825 Harrison Co. court
to request letters of administration of
John's estate. Jacob could very well be
his son as one male is listed with John
in the 1820 census. [W. Lynn Hutchison,
1983]
Mr. Hutchison wrote
to me in 1983 and stated that he had heard
of a family Bible that says Jacob's father
was Isaac Westfall. If so, John Westfall
may have been a relative. Isaac Westfall,
son of Cornelius and brother of John Westfall,
was born in 1762 and died in 1803. Jacob
would have been six. Five of Isaac's minor
children were bound to people other than
close relatives. Was Jacob not bound (adopted)
because he was in the care of his uncle?
The makeup of this family is largely based
on the proximity of the families listed
on the 1850 Braxton Co. census. Therefore,
more research needs to be done to determine
the accuracy of this family group.

WESTFALL (JOHN5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born 1792 in
Virginia. He married ELIZABETH MORRISON July 18,
1818 in Mason County, Virginia. She was born Abt.
1802 in Pennsylvania.
Stephen Westfall
is listed on the 1830 Census, Mason Co.,
Virginia on the same page as his first
cousin Andrew Westfall. Stephen Westfall
is listed on the 1840 and 1850 censuses,
Jackson Co., Virginia. The make up of this
family is derived mainly from census records
which do not give relationships. There
were two main family groups in Jackson
Co. They were the children and grandchildren
of Stephen Westfall and Andrew Westfall.
Andrew, sr. was the son of Zachariah and
Hannah Wolf. Stephen was the son of John
and Margaret Wolf. Zachariah and John were
brothers.

in Virginia. He married MARGARET.
Walter Westfall
appears on the 1830 census of Randolph
Co. On the same page of the census is Michael
Westfall, Jacob Westfall and Cornelius
Westfall. Walter M. Westfall is listed
on the same page as Cornelius and John
H. Westfall on the 1840 Lewis Co. census,
and very near to the page listing John
H. Westfall on the 1850 Lewis Co. census.
I've assigned Levi Westfall (b. 1827) and
James Westfall (b. 1830) as sons of Walter
based on their approximate dates of birth
and their proximity to each other on the
1850 Lewis County census.

ELIZABETH ALLMAN Abt. 1830, daughter of GEORGE
ALLMAN. She was born Abt. 1809 in Virginia, and died
Bef. August 1847 in Lewis Co., (West) Virginia. He

Marriage record,

Smith. Lydia, age 50, appears in the household
of her son Nathaniel Westfall on the 1880
census in the Hackers Creek Dist. of Lewis
County, West Virginia. She appears on the
1900 census of Lewis Co. in the household
of Henry McCall. Her age is 79 and her
relationship to the head of household is
listed as grandmother. Henry McCall was
born April 1877, his wife Matilda was born
in August 1879, Their son Frank was born
in December 1898. Also in the household
is Henry's brother, age 17 (born August
1883). My grandmother (Osa Westfall Corbett)
remembered her grandmother Lydia Wilson
Westfall because she lived off and on with
the family. She also remembered her Smith
uncles and her uncle Peter Westfall. Most
of the Westfall family stories were given
to my grandmother by her grandmother, Lydia
Westfall. Lydia died when my grandmother
was ten (1907) and is buried in the old
Harrison Grove Cemetery, Murphy's Creek,

Harrison
Westfall, age 8, appears on the

Elizabeth Westfall. Thomas, age
18, appears on the 1860 census
of Randolph County in the household
of John H. and Lydia Westfall,
but Harrison does not. John Westfall
and Lydia Smith were married
in Lewis County in 1851. The
1850 census of Lewis County shows
Lydia Smith, age 27, and two
Smith children (neither of them
Thomas) in the household of Joel
and Mary Goodwin. I believe Lydia
was widowed, probably about 1848
or 1849, and was probably living
with a brother-in-law and sister
before she remarried to John
Westfall. It is possible that
Thomas was Thomas Harrison Westfall,
but my Grandmother remembered
him as Thomas Smith but I believe
that was simply a mistake in
her memory.

Virginia. He married (1) LYDIA CUTRIGHT October
21, 1816 in Harrison County, (West) Virginia, daughter
of ABRAM CUTRIGHT and SUSAN BUSH. She was born Abt.
1800. He married (2) RUHAMA CUTRIGHT November
4, 1844 in Lewis County, Virginia, daughter of ISAAC
CUTRIGHT.
George Westfall
is listed on the 1820, 1830, 1840 and 1850
censuses of Lewis Co., Virginia. George
and Ruhama appear on the 1860 Upshur Co.
census along with Perry Westfall, age 12.
There is some confusion among the sources
about Lydia and Ruhama Cutwright. It appears
clear to me that Lydia Cutwright was George's
first wife and the mother of most of his
children. They were married in 1816. George
married Ruhama in 1844 and was the mother
of youngest child Perry Westfall. I'm not
sure if Lydia and Ruhama were sisters or
cousins. [R. Wall, 1998}

She died Abt. 1838. He married (2) MATILDA HACKER
December 19, 1839 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia.
She was born Abt. 1815 in Virginia.
William Westfall appears on the 1830 census
of Lewis Co., Virginia apparently as a
single male of about 20 years of age. He
also appears on the 1840 census of Lewis
Co. Listed on the same page are Job and
John Westfall households. A William L.
Westfall is on the 1850 census of Gilmer
Co.

82. JACOB WESTFALL
(WILLIAM6, WILLIAM5, JACOB4, JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1810
in Virginia. He married IVIA RYAN January
13, 1828 in Randolph County, (West) Virginia. She
was born Abt. 1806 in Virginia.
A Jacob Westfall appears on the 1830, 1840
and 1850 censuses of Randolph Co., Virginia.
On the 1830 census he appears on the same
page of the census as Cornelius Westfall,
Michael Westfall and Walter Westfall. In
1850 the following Westfall households
were enumerated in Randolph County:
Jacob Westfall, age 40
George S. Westfall, age 30
Catherine Westfall, age 50
Elizabeth Westfall, age 65, pauper
(in the Isaac Roy household)
Edward Westfall, age 17 (in the Daniel's
household)
Children of JACOB WESTFALL and IVIA RYAN
are:
WILLIAM WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1828, Virginia.
ABSALOM WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1829, Virginia.
EDWARD WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1833, Virginia.
Edward is not listed with
the Jacob Westfall family
on the 1850 census of Randolph
Co. He does fill a gap in
the ages of the children
on the census. It is likely
that he was working for
and living with the Daniel's
family when the census was
taken.

83. JACOB WESTFALL
(MICHAEL6, WILLIAM5, JACOB4, JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1815
in Virginia. He married SUSANNAH WESTFALL
November 4, 1841 in Pendleton County, (West) Virginia.
She was born Abt. 1824 in Virginia.
The households of Jacob Westfall, age 35,
and Michael Westfall, age 26, appear on
the 1850 census of Pendleton Co., Virginia.
I've attached Jacob and Michael Westfall
as children of Michael Westfall senior,
of Pendleton Co. but I have no firm evidence
to support this relationship. More
than likely Susannah was a first cousin
to her husband Jacob.
Children of JACOB WESTFALL and SUSANNAH WESTFALL
are:
WILLIAM S. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1843.
JOHN C. WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1845.
John Westfall enlisted in the Union
army on May 1863. He enlisted
at Greenland Gap in Grant County
in May of 1863 and joined Company
D, 1st West Virginia Infantry.
In June 1864 he was wounded in
the thigh at Piedmont, West Virginia
and spent some time in the hospital
in Stauton, Virginia. In September
1864 he was captured by the Confederates
and on October 27, 1864 he was
taken to the infamous prisoner
of war camp at Andersonville,
Georgia. In November 1864 he
was exchanged as a prisoner of
war at Savannah, Georgia. He
was mustered out of the army
on November 26, 1864.

JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1824
in Virginia. He married SARAH A. MIDDLETON
March 10, 1842 in Pendleton County, (West) Virginia.
She was born Abt. 1825 in Virginia.
The households of Jacob Westfall, age 35,
and Michael Westfall, age 26, appear on
the 1850 census of Pendleton Co., Virginia.
I've attached Jacob and Michael Westfall
as children of Michael Westfall senior,
of Pendleton Co. but I have no firm evidence
to support this relationship.
Children of MICHAEL WESTFALL and SARAH MIDDLETON
are:
WILSON WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1842, Virginia.
HENRY WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1844, Virginia; m. ELIZABETH.
Henry Westfall, age 34,
appears in the soundex
to the 1880 West Virginia
census in Grant County.
The soundex indicates
the Henry and Elizabeth
had six children in
1880.
ELIZABETH WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1846, Virginia.
JANE WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1849,
Virginia.

85. JOHN WESLEY
WESTFALL (JOEL6, JOEL5,
JACOB4,
JURIAEN3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born November
3, 1798 in Randolph County, Virginia, and died in
Ritchie County, West Virginia. He married ELIZABETH
SIMONS February 7, 1819 in Lewis County, (West)
Virginia. She was born Abt. 1798 in Pennsylvania.
John Westfall of about the right age is listed
on the 1830 census of Lewis Co., Virginia.
John W. Westfall is listed on the 1840
Lewis Co. census and the 1850 Ritchie Co.
census. The Walter Lynn Hutchison work
indicates that John Wesley Westfall, son
of Joel Westfall, died in Ritchie Co.
John Wesley Westfall came to Ritchie County
from Buckhannon, (West) Virginia about
1845. He bought the Fredericks Mill and
W. E. Hill farm his son Joel J. Westfall
was renting. He spent the rest of his days
on the farm but sold the mill in 1857.
Children of JOHN WESTFALL and ELIZABETH SIMONS
are:
116. JOEL
J. WESTFALL, b. August 24,
1819, Buckhannon, Upshur County, (West)
Virginia; d. October 30, 1910, Smithville,

(West) Virginia; m. MARTHA J.
ZICKEFOOSE, December 5, 1850,
Ritchie County, (West) Virginia.
James D. Westfall, age 20,
appears on the 1850 census
of Ritchie Co., Virginia
in the household of John
W. Westfall. The marriage
index for Ritchie Co. shows
James B. Westfall and Martha
J. Zickefoose.
JASPER N. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1836, Buckhannon, Upshur County,
(West) Virginia; d. Aft. 1850,
Ritchie County, (West) Virginia.
The "History of Ritchie
County" states that
Jasper Newton died as a
youth. A Newton Westfall,
age 14, appears on the 1850
Census of Ritchie County
in the household of John
W. Westfall.
WILLIAM C. WESTFALL, b.
Abt. 1844, Virginia.
The "History of Ritchie
County" states that
John and Elizabeth Simon
Westfall had six children.
The 1850 census seems to
indicate there were seven
children. Of the seven,
only William is not mentioned
in the history.

86. HENRY FRY
WESTFALL (JOEL6, JOEL5,
JACOB4,
JURIAEN3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born December
1, 1799 in Randolph County, Virginia, and died 1884
in Upshur County, West Virginia. He married MARY
SIMON January 21, 1820 in Lewis County, (West)
Virginia. She was born Abt. 1800 in Virginia, and
died Bef. 1860.
Henry F. Westfall, age 60, is the single
occupant of his dwelling on the 1860 census
of Upshur County, Virginia.
Child of HENRY WESTFALL and MARY SIMON is:
ELIZABETH WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1826, Virginia.
Elizabeth Mooney, age 24,
and Victoria Mooney (no
age given, but probably
an infant) appear on the
1850 Lewis Co. census in
the household of Henry F.
and Mary Westfall. This
usually means a young married,
perhaps widowed, living
with her parents.

87. ETHELBERT
DRAKE WESTFALL (JOEL6,
JOEL5, JACOB4,
JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born August

88. JOEL
LAFAYETTE WESTFALL (JOEL6,
JOEL5, JACOB4,
JURIAEN3,
JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born August
29, 1840 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia, and died
August 20, 1917. He married (1) JULIA ANN BURNSIDES
April 25, 1861, daughter of JOSEPH BURNSIDES and
SUSAN SWIGER. She was born July 24, 1839, and died
May 27, 1873. He married (2) MARY JANE THOMPSON
December 18, 1873 in Harrison County, West Virginia,

Joel Westfall appears on the 1850 census
of Harrison Co., Virginia. Joel Westfall
drew bounties in Upshur County as a Union
volunteer during the Civil War. Joel is
buried in the Masonic Cemetery at Good
Hope, West Virginia.
Children of JOEL WESTFALL and JULIA BURNSIDES

89. JACOB
WILSON WESTFALL (JACOB6, JOHN5,
CORNELIUS4,
ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1815
in Virginia, and died September 24, 1874 in Braxton
County, West Virginia. He married MARGARET BROWN
November 8, 1838 in Braxton County, (West) Virginia.
She was born December 24, 1816 in Virginia, and died
February 28, 1895 in Braxton County, West Virginia.
Jacob Westfall appears on the 1840 and 1860
censuses of Braxton Co., Virginia. He is
not listed in the index to the 1850 Virginia
census. In March, 1869 Jacob W. Westfall
was assessed on 100 acres of land on the
waters of Cedar Creek, Lincoln Township.
Children of JACOB WESTFALL and MARGARET BROWN
are:
JAMES H. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1839, Virginia.
James H. Westfall appears
on the 1860 Braxton Co.,
Virginia census in the household
of William Heater, an apparent
neighbor of Jacob Westfall.
It is likely James is living
with and working for Heater.
During the Civil War James
Westfall of Braxton County
and his cousins Hiram, George
and Jacob enlisted in Company
B, 19th Virginia Cavalry
of the Confederate Army.
120. JOSEPH
B. WESTFALL, b. August 2,
1841.
JOHN WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1843,
Virginia.
John W. Westfall appears on
the soundex to the 1880
census of Braxton Co., West
Virginia. Also listed is
wife Mary, age 31.
THOMAS WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1845, Virginia.
Thomas Westfall appears on
the 1860 Braxton Co. census
in the household of James
McCoy. The McCoy household
is enumerated on the same
page as the Jacob and Margaret
Westfall household. Thomas'
age is such that it fills
a four year gap in the ages
of the Westfall children.
It is likely Thomas is living
with and working for McCoy,
or perhaps McCoy is a relative.
LOUISA WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1847, Virginia.
121. CORNELIUS
C. WESTFALL, b. December 6,
1849, Braxton County, Virginia; d.
July 11, 1896, Braxton County, West
Virginia.
ELI M. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1851, Virginia.
Eli appears on the 1860 census
in the household of John
P. Brown, who is probably
Eli's grandfather.
EMILY WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1852, Virginia.
ELIZA WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1856, Virginia.

90. WILSON WESTFALL
(JACOB6, JOHN5,
CORNELIUS4,
ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1815
in Virginia, and died Bef. 1860. He married ELIZABETH.
She was born Abt. 1816 in Virginia.
Wilson Westfall appears on the 1850 census
of Braxton Co., Virginia. His wife and
children appear on the 1860 census. The
youngest child is three years old. It would
seem that Wilson died between 1857-1860.
Children of WILSON WESTFALL and ELIZABETH are:
HIRAM WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1838, Virginia.
During the Civil War
Hiram Westfall of Braxton
County and his brothers
George and Jacob, and
their cousin James
H. Westfall enlisted
in Company B, 19th
Virginia Cavalry of
the Confederate Army.
GEORGE WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1840, Virginia; m. MELVINA.
I believe that George's
age (45) is incorrect
on the 1880 soundex
for Braxton Co., West
Virginia. Information
on George's children
was not extracted from
the soundex. During
the Civil War George
Westfall of Braxton
County and his brothers
Jacob and Hiram enlisted
in Company B, 19th
Virginia Cavalry of
the Confederate Army.
JACOB A. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1841, Virginia.
The soundex to the 1880
West Virginia census
indicates there were
several children in
Jacob's household.
Jacob's wife's name
is very difficult to
read on the soundex
card. During the Civil
War Jacob Westfall
of Braxton County and
his brothers George
and Hiram enlisted
in Company B, 19th
Virginia Cavalry of
the Confederate Army.
MARY VIRGINIA WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1844, Virginia.
The name "Mary"
appears on the 1850
census. The name "Virginia"
appears on the 1860
census. There are discrepancies
in the ages of the
children from Mary/Virginia
down to Zachary Taylor
Westfall.
RICHARD WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1846, Virginia.
ZACHARY TAYLOR WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1847, Virginia.
The name Zachariah T.
Westfall appears on
the 1850 census. The
name Taylor Westfall
appears on the 1860
census.
ROSANNA WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1856, Virginia.
MARGARET WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1857, Virginia.

91. ALFRED C.
WESTFALL (JACOB6, JOHN5,
CORNELIUS4,
ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1821
in Virginia. He married ANNA RIFFLE November
18, 1843 in Braxton County, (West) Virginia. She
was born Abt. 1823 in Virginia.
Alford and Ann Westfall are listed on the
1850 census of Braxton Co., Virginia. On
July 2, 1862 Alfred Westfall and several
other men were ordered to survey and maintain
a road from three forks of Cedar Creek,
up the middle fork to the head and then
down the Rush Fork of Granny's Creek to
its mouth.
Children of ALFRED WESTFALL and ANNA RIFFLE
are:
MATILDA JANE WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1845, Virginia.
MARY ELIZABETH WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1846, Virginia.
SARAH ANN WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1847,
Virginia.

(JACOB6, JOHN5,

in Virginia. He married LYDIA MARGARET CLIFTON
August 9, 1847 in Braxton County, (West) Virginia.
She was born Abt. 1830 in Virginia.
John and Lydia Margaret Westfall appear on
the 1850 census of Braxton Co., Virginia.
No children are listed on the return.
Child of JOHN WESTFALL and LYDIA CLIFTON is:
SAMUEL S. WESTFALL, b. November
10, 1853, Braxton County, (West) Virginia.

93. WILLIAM WESTFALL
(JACOB6, JOHN5,

(STEPHEN6, JOHN5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1819
in Virginia. He married MIRANDA GREEN May
31, 1840 in Jackson County, (West) Virginia. She
was born Abt. 1820 in Virginia.
John H. Westfall and family appear on the
1850 census of Jackson Co., Virginia.
Children of JOHN WESTFALL and MIRANDA GREEN
are:
EPISON WESTFALL.

95. ANDREW WESTFALL
(STEPHEN6, JOHN5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1824
in Virginia. He married (1) MARY BAKER August
27, 1835 in Jackson County, (West) Virginia. He married
(2) MARY PHILIPS January 31, 1839 in Jackson
County, (West) Virginia. She was born Abt. 1825 in
Kentucky.
I originally copied this name as Abram Westfall
due to the poor quality of the 1850 census
sheet. The Jackson County marriage index
and other sources make me confident that
this individual is Andrew Westfall, jr.
of Jackson Co.
Children of ANDREW WESTFALL and MARY PHILIPS
are:
126. ANDREW
J. WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1844,
Virginia.
MARY WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1846,
Virginia.
CATHERINE WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1849, Virginia.
A Catherine Westfall of about
the right age appears on
the 1860 Braxton Co. census
in the household of Edward
Robinson. Perhaps Robinson
is a relative.
|
96. LEVI WESTFALL
(WALTER M.6, CORNELIUS5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1827
in Virginia. He married DRUZILLA CASTO November
19, 1847 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia. She was
born Abt. 1829 in Virginia.
The households of Levi Westfall, age 23,
and James Westfall, age 29, appear on the
1850 Lewis Co., Virginia census. They are
probably brothers and sons of either Walter
Westfall or John H. Westfall of Lewis County.
A Levi Westfall married Pathena Rhodes
in Jackson Co. on Dec. 24, 1846. It is
possible that Levi of Lewis Co. and Levi
of Jackson Co. are one and the same. Druzilla
was also known as Duncey. Casto may not
have been her maiden name.
Child of LEVI WESTFALL and DRUZILLA CASTO is:
SARAH G. WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1849.
|
97. JAMES M. WESTFALL
(WALTER M.6, CORNELIUS5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1830
in Virginia. He married LUCINDA WILSON March
18, 1847 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia. She was
born Abt. 1822 in Virginia.
The households of Levi Westfall, age 23,
and James Westfall, age 29, appear on the
1850 Lewis Co., Virginia census. They are
probably brothers and sons of either Walter
Westfall or John H. Westfall of Lewis County.
The 1850 census return for James Westfall
household:
James Westfall age 20 Virginia
Lucinda age 28 Virginia
Mary A. Wilt age 10 Virginia
Rebecca E. Westfall age 2 Virginia
Eli M. age 11/12 Virginia
Lucinda Westfall, age 57, appears on the
1880 census, in the Hackers Creek District
of Lewis Co., West Virginia in the Jacob
J. Smith household. Her occupation is given
as housekeeper. There is a marriage
in Lewis County between William Welt and
Lucinda Wilson on September 25, 1838.
Mary A. Wilt is in the James Westfall household
on the 1850 census. Obviously, James was
Lucinda's second marriage.
Children of JAMES WESTFALL and LUCINDA
WILSON are:
MARY A. WILT, b. Abt.
1840, Virginia (stepdaughter
to James).
REBECCA E. WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1848, Virginia.
ELI M. WESTFALL, b.
Abt. 1849, Virginia.
HEZEKIAH W. WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1851, Virginia.
WILLIAM N. WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1853, Virginia.
(ANN) WESTFALL, b.
Abt. 1856, Virginia.
The name of this child
of James and Lucinda
Westfall is very difficult
to decipher on the
1860 census. It appears
to start with "Ant"
and is much longer
than simply "Ann."

103. JOHN D. WESTFALL
(ANDREW6, ZACHARIAH5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1818
in Virginia. He married MINERVA GREEN November
8, 1838 in Jackson County, (West) Virginia. She was
born Abt. 1823 in Virginia.
John D. Westfall is listed on the 1840 census
for Jackson Co., Virginia on the same page
as other Westfall's It is likely, but not
certain, that he is part of the same family.
Children of JOHN WESTFALL and MINERVA GREEN
are:
ELIZABETH J. WESTFALL, b.
Abt. 1839.

104. NOAH WESTFALL
(ANDREW6, ZACHARIAH5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born Abt. 1820
in Virginia. He married (1) AGNES. He married
(2) MATILDA A. She was born Abt. 1840 in Virginia.
He married (3) SUSANNAH LITTON July 20, 1840
in Jackson County, (West) Virginia. He married (4)
SAMANTHA CHANCY August 31, 1845 in Jackson
County, (West) Virginia. She was born Abt. 1823 in
Virginia.
I originally coped the name "Martha"
from the 1850 census. After discovering
the marriage record for Noah and Samantha
I believe I copied the name from the census
record incorrectly. The make up of this
family is derived mainly from census records
which do not give relationships. There
were two main family groups in Jackson
Co. They were the children and grandchildren
of Stephen Westfall and Andrew Westfall.
Andrew, sr. was the son of Zachariah Westfall
and Hannah Wolf. Stephen was the son of
John Westfall and Margaret Wolf. Zachariah
and John were brothers.
Children of NOAH WESTFALL and SAMANTHA CHANCY
are:
HIRAM WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1846, Virginia; m. MARGARET.
The soundex to the 1880
West Virginia census
indicates that Hiram
and Margaret had three
children in 1880.

Abt. 1848, Virginia.

in Virginia. He married LUCINDA JONES March
29, 1845 in Jackson County, (West) Virginia. She
was born Abt. 1828 in Virginia.
James Westfall and wife Lucinda appear on
the 1850 census of Jackson Co., Virginia.

106. WATSON WESTFALL
(GEORGE6, ZACHARIAH5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born 1818 in
Lewis County, Virginia. He married RACHEL TENNEY
June 29, 1839 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia, daughter
of SAMUEL TENNEY and DORCAS ROHRBOUGH. She was born
Abt. 1822.
Watson Westfall appears on the 1840 census for
Lewis Co., Virginia.
Children of WATSON WESTFALL and RACHEL TENNEY
are:
133. JASPER
NEWTON WESTFALL, b. May 22,
1840, Westfall homestead on Turkey
Run, Lewis County, Virginia.
134. SAMUEL
TENNY WESTFALL, b. Abt. 1841,
Virginia.
GEORGE W. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1843, Virginia.
A George W. Westfall,
age 16, appears on
the 1860 census of
Upshur County in the
household of Samuel
and Almira (Casto)
Westfall. George W.
Westfall, age 15, also
appears on the 1860
Upshur Co. census in
the household of his
father Watson Westfall.
It is possible that
the same individual
appears twice since
the census takers counted
everyone in the household
at the time they visited.
The census sometimes
took several weeks
to complete and if
a person was visiting
or moved to another
household during that
time they might well
show up in two locations
on the same census.

in Virginia. He married MARGARET. She was
born Abt. 1835 in Virginia.
Adam S. Westfall, age 45, appears on the
1880 census of Gilmer County, West Virginia.
There is no Adam Westfall of the correct
age in the index to the 1850 Virginia census.
The 1860 and 1870 censuses were not indexed
when I did this research. This is just
a guess, but I believe he is probably the
Simpson Westfall, son of William L. Westfall
that appears on the 1850 census in Gilmer
County. Adam S. Westfall of Gilmer County
was mustered in to Company G, 10th West
Virginia Infantry of the Union Army in

116. JOEL J. WESTFALL
(JOHN WESLEY7, JOEL6, JOEL5,
JACOB4,
JURIAEN3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born August
24, 1819 in Buckhannon, Upshur County, (West) Virginia,
and died October 30, 1910 in Smithville, Ritchie
County, West Virginia. He married (1) ELIZA B.
MILLS January 22, 1833 in Weston, Lewis County,
(West) Virginia, daughter of W. R. MILLS. She died
Bef. 1850 in Ritchie County, (West) Virginia. He
married (2) JULIA A. TINGLER June 23, 1850
in Ritchie County, (West) Virginia. She was born
Abt. 1817 in Virginia.
Joel Westfall came to Ritchie County, (West)
Virginia as early as 1843 and settled in
the Fredericks Mill vicinity. At age of
seventeen (1836) he was made a lieutenant
of Co. D, 133rd Regiment of the Virginia
Militia. He was a captain of the militia
when he moved to Ritchie County in 1843.
In 1854 left his young son with his parents
and went to California to hunt gold. He
amassed a fortune in California and became
prominent in state affairs. He was a deputy
sheriff at Maripose for four years; Road
Commissioner and Supervisor for sixteen
years. On October 6, 1906 he returned to
Smithville, West Virginia. He died in 1910
and was buried on the homestead of his
son in Smithville. [History of Ritchie
County]
The "History of Ritchie County"
would leave one to believe that Joel left
his only child with the boy's grandparents
and went to California alone. The 1850
census of Ritchie Co. leads me to believe
that Joel probably took the rest of his
family with him. Another mystery is the
name of the lady in the house. On the 1850
census it appears to be Lydia C. The marriage
index of Ritchie Co. clearly lists the
names of Joel J. Westfall and Julia A.
Westfall married in 1850. The "History
of Ritchie County" gives the date
of the marriage of Eliza B. Mills and Joel
J. Westfall as January 22, 1843. The 1850
Census of Ritchie Co. lists Joel J. Westfall,
age 30, and his household. James R. (or
W.), age 14, is the oldest child in the
home. I believe the marriage date is off
by a decade but a marriage record should
be obtained to verify its accuracy.
Child of JOEL WESTFALL and ELIZA MILLS is:
JAMES R. WESTFALL, b. Abt.
1836, Ritchie County, (West)
Virginia.
Some items on the 1850 census
are difficult to read. It
is possible that James is
listed as James W. rather
than James R. If so, it
is probably a mistake on
the part of the census taker.
Children of JOEL WESTFALL and JULIA TINGLER
are:
WILLIAM H. H. WESTFALL,
b. Abt. 1841, Virginia.
JOHN G. WESTFALL, b. Abt.

133. JASPER
NEWTON WESTFALL (WATSON7,
GEORGE6, ZACHARIAH5, CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2, JURIAEN1) was born May 22,
1840 in Westfall homestead on Turkey Run, Lewis County,
Virginia. He married JANE REESE January 3,
1861 in Upshur County, (West) Virginia, daughter
of SOLOMON REESE and ELIZABETH DOOMS. She was born
October 31, 1838 in Augusta County, Virginia.
One source says that Jasper Newton Westfall was
born in Buckhannon, Upshur County, (West) Virginia.
The History of Upshur County states he was born
in Lewis County on the Westfall homestead on
Turkey Run later known as the Lewis Karrichoff
farm. The marriage of Jasper Westfall
and Jane Reese was at the home of Solomon Reese
on Hickory Flats by Rev. Alford Lister of the
M.P. Church on Jan. 3, 1861. Gen. Henry F. Westfall
of Buckhannon was a witness. Gen. Westfall was
a fourth cousin to Jasper Newton Westfall; however,
he was the uncle of Jasper N. Westfall, son
of John Wesley Westfall, who died in his youth
(probably around 1840). Jasper Newton was probably
named for the deceased Jasper. This could explain
the presence of Henry at this wedding.
