The Descendants of Zachariah Westfall of Virginia and West Virginia |
|HOME| |Westfall Home Page| |Family History| |Sources| |Photos| |Genealogy Menu| |
There was disagreement among Westfall genealogists about the identity of Zachariah Westfall's father. Zachariah's grandson, Watson Westfall, is said to have named Jacob Westfall as the father. Authors of some of the county histories of West Virginia have claimed that Zachariah's father was James Westfall, supposedly one of the founders of the town of Beverly. While both of these claims are difficult to refute, the documentary evidence we have available to us today, support the conclusion that Zachariah's parents were Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall, son and niece of Abel Westfall and Ann Bogard. I do not believe we will ever positively, beyond a doubt, identify the parents. The conclusive evidence just does not seem to exist. Regardless of the identity of Zachariah's parents, we can still be certain that he was a descendant, no more than five generations from the Dutch immigrant ancestor Jurien Westfall from Liederdorp, Netherlands. I firmly believe that Zachariah Westfall was the son of Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall from the Minisink village on the banks of the Delaware River in north western New Jersey. Zachariah was born on January 8, 1769 and baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church at Machackemeck, Orange County, New York on February 18, 1769. This is according to the baptismal records of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York. His parents brought him and his siblings to Augusta County, Virginia about 1771 when they settled on the South Branch of the Potomac River near where several other relatives from the Minisink in New Jersey had bought land in Virginia a decade before. When he was twenty years old Zachariah gave up his claim to ninety-five acres purchased by cousin Jacob Westfall (October 28, 1789). The land was part of the original grant to his grandfather Abel Westfall more than thirty years earlier. This original grant was located on the South Branch of the Potomac. This description covers a lot of area; however the location of the Westfall land has been identified as being a few miles south of Morefield in today's Hardy County, West Virginia. This document does not give us any clue as to the location of Zachariah in 1789 but it is likely that he still resided in the area of his grandfather's original plantation. Zachariah and his brothers, John, Cornelius and Isaac were our Westfall ancestors who settled in the area that became West Virginia. Brother Cornelius and his descendants (my ancestors) settled mostly in today's Lewis and Upshur counties. Isaac's sons were in Randolph and Harrison counties. Early in the nineteenth century, those counties included today’s Lewis and surrounding counties. I have not researched Isaac's line, therefore I cannot say if their eventual home places remained in West Virginia or not. The children of Zachariah and John seemed to, for the most part, ended up in today's Upshur, Lewis and Roane County. Eventually I hope to trace the lines of all the Westfall brothers in West Virginia up to the mid Twentieth Century. I want to thank the researchers who helped me with the descendants of Zachariah Westfall (and his brother John through his son Stephen). I am changing from a simple tree format to the more flexible and informative format of the family group sheet. This format is also much easier to maintain when I find mistakes and omissions. I welcome your comments and feedback. Do not be timid about pointing out my mistakes, but please back up your claims with documented evidence. I also greatly appreciate pictures. You are free to use information from my web site for your private use. However, If you publish family trees using information from my or any web site, please give credit where credit is due. A special thanks to Betty Biggs, webmaster of West Virginia Pioneers who motivated me to research the Jackson and Roane County Westfall families. She has a database of more than six hundred Westfall individuals who lived in West Virginia. If you have not already done so, I recommend you visit her site as well.

Randolph County, Virginia to Hanna Wolf [5, 12] In 1787 Randolph County was formed from the original Harrison County. Apparently Zachariah had not yet moved into the western part of today's West Virginia. |
Children: |
Zachariah Westfall and Hanna Wolf had 9 children (Most sources for children with descendants are under that individual group sheet) | |
2. | i. | Andrew Westfall He was born on 17 Feb 1789 in Randolph County, (West) Virginia [11]. He married Mary Elizabeth Hyre on 11 Nov 1809 in Harrison County, Virginia. He died Aft. 1860 |
___ |
ii. |
Susannah
Westfall [11,12,13,17].
She was born Abt. 1790 in Randolph County, Virginia.
She supposedly died in 1860, but I feel this date
is unlikely; she probably died before 1823.
She married David Jonathan
Casto on 20 Apr 1807 in Harrison County,
Virginia [12,11,13,17].
I was unable to locate Susannah in any records after
her marriage. She apparently died before 1823
and David Casto remarried to Sarah
Ward on 13 January 1823.[18]
Because I am unable to identify the
children, if any, of Susannah and David, I have not
researched this family any further. It is notable
that Andrew named his second child, daughter Susanna,
born in 1811 after his sister.

3. |
iii. | Elizabeth
Westfall She was born on 26 Jan 1791 in Beverly, Randolph
County, Virginia. She married Jacob Cutright
on 05 Feb 1813 in Harrison County, Virginia. She died on 04 Oct
1879 in Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia (age 89, cause
of death, "dibility") |
4. | iv. | George
Westfall
He was born on 12 Apr 1796 in Westfall homestead, Randolph County,
Virginia. He married (1) Lydia Cutright
on 21 Oct 1816 in Harrison County, (West) Virginia; he married
(2) Ruhama Cutright on 02
Nov. 1844. He died on 11 Oct 1873 in Upshur County,
(West) Virginia. |
5. | v. | John
S. Westfall He was born on 01 Nov 1800 in Randolph County,
(West) Virginia. He married Elizabeth
Queen on 28 Jun 1825 in Harrison County,Virginia. He
died on 27 Jan 1876 in Meigs County, Ohio. |
6. | vi. | Rutha Westfall was born Abt. 1805 in Harrison County, Virginia and died after the 1880 census was taken. She married John Warner on 08 Apr 1822 in Lewis County, Virginia. Rutha and husband appear on the 1880 census in the Hackers Creek District, Lewis County, West Virginia. |
7. | vii. | Clark
Westfall
He was born Abt. 1807 in Harrison County, (West) Virginia. He
married (1) Permilla Cutright
on 15 Jan 1828 in Lewis County, Virginia; he married (2)
Martha R. Teal (Teel) on 01 Aug 1847 in Jackson County,
Virginia. He died 1849 in Monroe County, Iowa. |
8. | viii. | Owen
Westfall
He was born Abt. 1813 in Harrison County, (West) Virginia. He
married (1) Elizabeth Watson
on 25 Mar 1835 in Harrison County, Virginia; he married (2)
Arena Forinash (sometimes Irene), 06 Sep. 1839 in Lewis
County, Virginia. He died after the 1880 census was taken. |
9. | ix. | Sarah
Westfall
was born Abt. 1816 in Harrison County, Virginia. She married Reason
Queen on 01 Nov 1833 in Harrison County, Virginia.
She supposedly died on 05 Apr 1844; however, she gave birth to
son John Queen about 1848 and I expect that is the year of her
death. Reason Queen remarried to Elizabeth Romine in February
1853. |
Hannah
Westfall: Several researchers have given Zachariah
and Hannah another daughter named Hannah. This may
be because of an item in W. B. Cutright's History of Upshur County
which names Hannah as one of the daughters. Other researchers,
including myself, have looked at the evidence and believe
Hannah Westfall was the daughter of Joel
Westfall, a contemporary of Zachariah and Hannah.
The first indication that Hannah just does not fit in Zachariah's
family is the probable date of her birth, which is the same as
Rutha Westfall. It is biologically possible to have two
children who are not twins to be born in the same year, but it
is highly unlikely. As always is the case, if you have an
interest in Hannah, or any other descendant, you should do your
own research and verify the data. You should also notice
that there are some five and six year gaps in the birth dates
of the children. This is usually an indicator of children
who did not survive to adulthood. It would be odd if this
were not the case in that era when simple childhood diseases were
often fatal. |

Notes: | 08 Jan 1769 |
On this date, Zachariah Westfall born to Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall in Minisink, Sussex County, New Jersey [10] |
1771 | Cornelius Westfall reportedly brings his family to the South Fork of the Potomac in the West Augusta District of Virginia and settled somewhere near the town of today's Morefield, Hardy County, West Virginia. [4, 15] Elizabeth, his wife died probably about this time and Cornelius married his sister-in-law, Eleanor Magdalene (Westfall) Davis (Davets). Cornelius is her third husband. | |
1776 | Monongalia County is formed from part of the West Augusta District of Virginia. | |
08 Feb 1781 |

|
1784 | Harrison
County is formed from part of Monongalia which included most of
today's northern half of West Virginia. |
|
1785 | W.
B. Cutright implies, in his 1907
book, The History of Upshur County, pg. 186, that Zachariah settled
on Stony Run, two miles below Buckhannon, in 1772. Since
Zachariah would have three years old that year this seems very
unlikely. He may have actually acquired the land as early
as 1785 since he began paying personal property tax that year
when he was only 16.[1,4,11] |
|
1785 | Zachariah paid personal property tax in Harrison County when he became 16 years old. [4, 11] | |
07 Feb 1786 | Jacob Westfall sells the rights to his share of his father's estate, including the share he purchased from brother Isaac with the contingency that his brother Zachariah would also sell his share. | |
1787 | Randolph
County is formed from part of Harrison |
|
02 Jan 1788 |
Zachariah
married Hannah Wolfe in Randolph County on Jan 2, 1788. She
was the daughter of Nicholas and Christina Wolfe and the
sister of Margaret Wolfe who married Zachariah's brother
John Westfall. [5, 13]
Zachariah is nineteen years-old. |
|
1788 | Kanawha
County is formed; it includes land now in Mason (formed in 1804),
Cabell (formed 1809), part of Nicholas (formed 1818), Logan (formed
1824), Fayette (1831), Jackson (1831), Braxton (1836) and parts
of others. It was made of most of the south western counties
of West Virginia. |
|
1789 | Randolph Co. tax lists show Zachariah was taxed as over 21 in 1789. [4] | |
28 Oct 1789 |
"INDENTURE,
ZACHARIAH WESTFALL TO JACOB WESTFALL JR., 28 Oct. 1789:
[the above deed was part of the estate settlement for land that was part of the original grant to Abel Westfall. A portion of that land was purchased by Jacob Westfall Jr., but which was being contested by John Singleton who claimed to have purchased it from John Westfall, son of Abel. The land was then claimed by John's brother Cornelius. A lengthy law suit ended with a decree that Cornelius, not John was the legal heir since he was the oldest son and thus the claim by Singleton was void since John had no right to sell it. With this agreement, Zachariah, legal heir to Cornelius, signs his claim as an heir over to Jacob Jr.] |
|
18 Apr 1791 |
Zachariah
purchased 179 acres on Hastings Run in Harrison County on April
18, 1791. Zachariah then settled on 47 acres on Stony
Run of Hackers Creek in Lewis County. Hastings Run is located in modern Harrison County, a small branch of Elk Creek near Craigmoor, West Virginia. Stony Run, a branch of Hackers Creek, is off of Hackers Creek Road in the north east corner of Lewis County. [11] |
|
9 July 1802 |
The
will of Josiah Westfall, alias Joseph, was recorded in
Randolph County on July 9, 1802. he mentions his brother Cornelius
Westfall of Harrison County, his brother Jonathan Westfall,
and Zachariah Westfall [not indicated as a brother]. Among
those owing money to Joseph's estate are Zachariah Westfall for
two years labor and Hezekiah Rosecrance for 17 days of
work. [4] |
|
1810 | Zachariah
Westfall household Listed on the census for Harrison County, Virginia
which included today's Lewis and part of Upshur County.
Andrew Westfall began paying personal property tax in Harrison
Co. in 1810 and appears on the census. Harrison County, Virginia; pg. 11; Zachariah Westfall household - males: 2 under 10; 1 10-16; 1 26-45; females: 1 under 10; 1 16-26; 1 26-45. [7] |
|
1812 | Andrew Westfall bought 68 acres on Mud Lick Run in now Upshur Co. in 1812 which he and his wife Elizabeth sold in 1826. Mud Lick Run is just north and slightly west of Buckhannon, West Virginia. [11] | |
1816 | Lewis
County is formed from part of Harrison and includes the western
part of modern Upshur County |
|
1820 | Zachariah
Westfall household Listed on the census for Lewis County (which
includes Buckhannon in today's Upshur County) Lewis County, Virginia; pg 153; Zachariah Westfall household - males: 1 under 10; 1 10-16; 1 16-26; 1 45 and over; females: 1 under 10; 1 10-16; 1 16-26; 1 26-45. [8] |
|
1826 | Andrew Westfall and wife sell their land on Mud Lick Run near Buckhannon. [11] | |
1827 |
Zachariah and family are said to have removed to present Jackson
Co. (then Mason) about 1827. Tax lists indicate that only Zachariah and son Owen were there then. Andrew seems to have joined them in 1830." [4] (Hutchison, W. Lynn, 1983.) [Mr. Hutchison did not show the tax lists that supposedly prove Zachariah was in Mason/Jackson County as early as 1827; however, it could be that Zachariah purchased land there, and thus paid taxes on it, in 1827 but did not more his family there until after 1830] |
|
1827 | John House, "Pioneers of Jackson County, W. Va,". (1906); WESTFALL FAMILY. "Zachariah Westfall was another of the pupils in the first Buckhannon school, along with Thomas Carney and David Casto." [this obviously was not our Zachariah, unless he attended school when he was in his forties] - "He came from Hacker's Creek to Mill Creek in 1827, and settled on Buffalo Lick Run of Tug Fork. He had several sons, among them Andrew, Owen, Clark, John, and George." [9] | |
1830 | Zachariah
Westfall household Listed on the census for Lewis County (which
includes Buckhannon in today's Upshur County). Andrew Westfall
appears in the Mason Co. census for 1830. This seems to indicate
to me that Andrew was actually the first in Mason/Jackson County
as early as 1827 and Zachariah and the rest of the family arrived
there after 1830. Lewis County, Virginia; pg 263; Zachariah Westfall household - males: 1 10-15; 1 50-60; females: 1 10-15; 1 50-60. [6] |
|
1831 | Jackson
County is formed from Kanawha, Wood and Mason counties. |
|
1837 | Zachariah Westfall dies in Jackson County, Virginia. [11] | |
1856 | Roane
County is formed from Jackson, Gilmer and Kanawha counties. |
|
11 Feb 1934 | There is some erroneous information published about Zachariah's roots. On February 11, 1934, Wilbur C. Morrison authored an article in the Sunday Exponent Telegram of Clarksburg about the Upshur County Westfall family. He claimed that the West Virginia pioneer ancestor was James Westfall. He then gives the line to Opha M. Westfall: 1. James, 2. Jacob, 3. Zachariah, 4. Martin, 5. Eli, 6. Opha Marshall Westfall. The History of Upshur County, West Virginia by W. B. Cutright (probably published about 1910) also states that Zachariah was the son of Jacob, based on the word of Watson Westfall, grandson of Zachariah, to his grandson the Rev. G. G. Westfall. It is likely that the Morrison article was based on the Upshur County history. That history identifies Zachariah's father as the Jacob who built Westfall's Fort. Unless the Zachariah mentioned in these articles is a different man from Zachariah of Harrison County, these articles are most likely wrong. Early court records (as shown above) give strong evidence that Zachariah was the son of Cornelius and grandson of Abel Westfall. [16] | |

Westfall was born Abt. 1811 in Harrison

appears on the 1850 and 1860 censuses in Flat Fork,
Roane County, Virginia (Stephen Carpenter household).
Susanna and Stephen had at least six children:
Andrew Carpenter,

I was unable to find a marriage record, which should have been available on the West Virginia History and Archives web site. Like wise, I have found no supporting records of any kind for William. Perhaps he left the state and moved west. There is a William Westfall, born in Virginia, age 35 and presumably his daughter Sarah Westfall enumerated in Sangamon County, Illinois on the 1850 census, pg. 130 dwelling 56. [10] |
12.
|
v. | Catherine Westfall was born Abt. 1814 in Virginia. She married John G. Casto on 24 Nov 1831 in Jackson County, Virginia. [10] |
__. |
vi. | Andrew Anderson Westfall was born Abt. 1816 in Mason County, Virginia. He married (1) Mary Baker on 27 Aug 1835 in Jackson County, Virginia; he married (2) Mary Philips on 31 January 1839 in Jackson County. I can find no other record for this individual, either as Andrew or Anderson. This person is sometimes confused with the son of Stephen Westfall, Andrew Jackson Westfall. [10,16] |
13. |
vii. | John H. Westfall was born on 01 Oct 1818 in Lewis County, Virginia. He married Marinda Green on 31 May 1840 in Lewis County, (West) Virginia. He died on 29 Aug 1889 in Roane County, West Virginia and is buried at Harmony, Roane County, West Virginia in the Mount Herman Church cemetery; (Harmony was formerly Geneva)). [10,12] |
14.
|
viii. | Mary Westfall was born about 1819. She married George Grandee on 30 Mar 1835. She died in 1870. She was also known as Polly Westfall. [10] |
__. | ix. | Calvary Hiram Westfall was born on 20 Sep 1820 in Jackson County, Virginia. He was also known as Hiram Westfall. I have been unable to find any record with his name. I believe it is likely that he died prior to 1850. Noah Westfall named one of his children Hiram possibly in honor of his deceased brother. [10] |
15. | x. | Noah Westfall was born on 01 Apr 1821 in Lewis County, Virginia. Noah was married six times and had children by three of those wives. He married (3) Martha Chancey on 31 Aug 1845 in Jackson County, (West) Virginia and had five children. He married (4) Matilda Anne Evans on 25 June 1854 in Upshur County and had five children. He married (5) Agnes Board on 07 June 1869 in Jackson County and had two children. He died on 10 Dec 1892 in Jackson County, West Virginia. [7,10] |
16. | xi. | Martha Westfall was born about 1823. She married Calvary Chancey on 16 Feb 1842. She died Bef. 1849 in probably Jackson County, Virginia [10] |
17. | xii. | Abraham Westfall was born about 1822-24 in Virginia. He appears on the 1850 census in District 27, Jackson County, Virginia (on same page as brother John H. Westfall and brother-in-law Henderson Harper). [10] |
18. | xiii. | Louise Virginia Westfall was born 1825 in Virginia. She married Fielding Parsons on 16 Oct 1851 in Jackson County, Virginia. [10] |
19. | xiv. | Barbara Westfall was born on 26 Aug 1826 in Virginia. She married Andrew Stewart on 24 May 1844 [11]. She and her family appear on the 1880 census in Three Forks of Reedy, Roane County, West Virginia. She died on 15 Jul 1917 in Reedy, Roane County, West Virginia. [10,12] |
20. | xv. | Deborah Westfall was born on 22 Nov 1830 in Jackson County, Virginia. She married Henderson Harper on 10 Jul 1849 in Jackson County. Deborah appears on the 1850 Census in Jackson County,Virginia (Household of Henderson Harper); on the 1860 Census in Roane County, Virginia; on the 1870 Census in Harper Township, Roane County, West Virginia (pg. 18; household of H. Harper). [10,12] |
Notes: | 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. | |
1810 | 1810 Census, Harrison County, Virginia pg. 4: Andrew Westfall 0-0-1-0-0 || 0-0-1-0-0-0-0 ( 1 male 16-25; 1 female 16-25). Andrew Westfall began paying personal property tax in Harrison Co. in 1810. [4] |
|
1812 | Andrew bought 68 acres on Mud Lick Run in Harrison County, located in what is now Upshur County. The run flows into the Buckhannon River at the town of Buckhannon. He and his wife Elizabeth sold the land in 1826. [1,8,10] | |
1816 | Lewis County is formed from part of Harrison and includes Buckhannon in the western part of modern Upshur County | |
1820 | 1820
Census, Lewis County, Virginia, pg. 154: Andrew Westfall
1-0-0-0-1-0 || 5-0-0-1-0-0-1
(1 male under 10; 1 male 26-45; 5 fems under 10; 1 fem 26-45;
1 person engaged in agriculture). At the time of this census
the farm on Mud Lick Run was in Lewis County (now Upshur Co.)
[5] |
|
1826 - 1827 | Andrew and Mary Elizabeth sell the farm on Mud Lick Run in Lewis County and remove to Mason County (which later became Jackson and then Roane County). [10] | |
1830 | 1830 Census,
Mason County, Point Pleasant, Virginia, ["Point Pleasant"
was the census district, not the town] pg. 169; Andrew Westfall 0-2-2-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-0-0-0 || 1-1-2-3-0-1-0-0-1-0-0-0-0 ( 2 males 5-10; 2 males 10-15; 1 male 20-30; 1 male 40-50; 1 male 60-70; 1 fem under 5; 1 fem 5-10; 2 fem 10-15; 3 fem 15-20; 1 fem 30-40; 1 fem 60-70). in 1830 Andrew and Elizabeth were 40-41; Zachariah and Hanna were 60-61. It appears from the census age categories that Andrew's parents Zachariah and Hanna were living with them and would explain why Zachariah does not appear on the 1830 Mason County census, but is on the tax lists for Mason County. Andrew is listed on the same page as Stephen Westfall, his first cousin. Stephen was the son of John and Margaret Wolf. Zachariah and John were brothers. [1,3,10] |
|
1840 | 1840 Census, Jackson County, pg. 227: Andrew Westfall 0-0-1-1-1-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0 || 1-0-1-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 (1 male 10-15; 1 male 15-20; 1 male 20-30; 1 male 50-60; 1 fem under 5; 1 fem 10-15; 1 fem 20-30). On the same page of the census return are Clark Westfall, John H. Westfall (Andrew's sons) and Stephen Westfall (first cousin). [2] | |
1856 | Roane County formed from Kanawha, Gilmer and Jackson counties. | |
N/A | PIONEERS OF
JACKSON COUNTY, W.VA., Comp. by John A. House; "Andrew Westfall
came with his father, and made the first improvement at the Skidmore
farm, at the mouth of Buffalo Lick. He later moved to Tug Fork.
He married Mary Hyre, a sister of Jacob Hyre, Sr. Andrew Westfall
was a man of a good deal of local influence in his community, and
like Nimod, was famous for killing the wild beasts of the forest. His wife died when Mrs. Stewart [daughter, Barbara Westfall] was but five or six years old [1831-2], and later he moved his family onto a hill on the flatwoods of Elk. After remaining there a few years, he bought a farm on Elk Fork, one half mile above Tolley’s mill." [8] |
|
N/A | Bishop, William H., Roane County, West Virginia Families (Clearfield Publishing), Pg. 670, 696, STEWART, "Andrew married Barbara Westfall, of the Pocatalico [Westfalls]. ...The Andrew above named is the 'Andy Stewart,' the Reedy miller so many years. The children reared by Andrew and Barbara, his wife, so many as we can recall, are: Dr. David, many years a resident physician of Creston, Wirt County, his wife Emma Robey. See Robey. Elizabeth, who married Andrew J. Ott, of Wirt County, December 22, 1873; and others I have forgotten, and Emma the youngest daughter married William H. Armstrong." [12] WESTFALL "The name, one time written 'Westfallen' which last is only the plural form of the same word, is the family name of pioneers of the Monongahela Valley. These of whom we are writing came to Poca country from Harrison or Lewis County, as early, possibly, as the year 1845. These were two brothers [father and son], the name of the first we do not have [father Andrew Westfall]. The second was John H. Westfall, of whom and his family we will deal after dealing first with the family of the unknown brother and his wife who settled on upper Flat Fork, or Cox's Fork; their children being two daughters and a son; their names: (1) Barbara, who became the wife of Andrew Stewart, son of William Stewart pioneer of Reedy 1848 or 1850, where Andy and Barbara made their home, attended the mill and reared a large family. See the name 'Stewart.' (2) Deborah, who married Henderson Harper, of Poca; and (3) Noah Westfall, who for his fifth or sixth wife married Martha Rhodes, of lower Poca, year 1881." [12] |

Cutright, b. about 1813, Lewis County, Virginia; d.
before 1880, Upshur County, West Virginia; married Nathaniel
Cutright, son of Isaac

(b. 1851); Stewart P. (b.
1854); Mary E. (b. 1860);
Else (b. 1843). Gaps in birth dates greater than
three years indicate that there were probably other children who
may have died young. [13] |

Cutright, b. 1814, Virginia; d. 1905 [6];
Isabell's name and sex was garbled or incorrect on some census

__.
|
v. | Susannah Cutright, b. 1822, Virginia; she may be the Susannah Cutright who married William Mick, December 26, 1844 in Lewis County. I believe it is likely that the couple left the state of Virginia and moved west. I have no information on children. [17] |

Aug 1900 in Upshur County, West Virginia. He married his cousin

__. |
vii. | Oliver Westfall was born Abt. 1829 in Virginia. He married Laura Cutright in 1851; One undocumented source says Oliver died in 1855. Laura died on 17 Nov. 1853 in Upshur County at the age of 25 years 4 months. Oliver was the informant on his wife's death record. He apparently disappears from the records after November, 1853.

37. | xi. | Perry Westfall was born About 1848 in Virginia and died on 27 Apr 1923 in Upshur County, West Virginia. He married Eliza Jane Ours. [29] |
Notes: | Lynn Hutchison describes two George Westfall's in Harrison County, Virginia. The elder George Sr. was in Harrison County as early as the 1780's. In 1795 he obtained 260 acres on the Little Kanawha River in Harrison (now Wood County) and an additional 106 acres there in November 1797. This George Westfall died about 1798, two years after the birth of George Westfall, son of Zachariah. Mr. Hutchison lists George Westfall, son of Zachariah on page 20 of his 1983 revision of his Westfall manuscript. He lists his birth, death and two marriages (Lydia and Ruhama Cutright), but does not list specific sources for these names and dates. This is the only reference to George, son of Zachariah in the Hutchison manuscript. Any reference in the (West) Virginia records for George Westfall in the 1790's or earlier are probably George Westfall Sr., son of Jacob Westfall who accompanied Abel Westfall when they first went to the South Branch of the Potomac about 1748.

HISTORY OF THE SAGO COMMUNITY, "Enoch Westfall, a son of George Westfall and a brother of Martin Westfall and a number of others, came to Truby's Run about 1880. He had two children, Preston and Lummie. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers in Upshur County. Preston married a sister of John Jones and lived for several years on Truby's Run; then he sold his farm and went to Ohio to live and there he has resided ever since. Lummie married John Jones and has always lived in the old home section." [19] | ||
"JAMES WILLIAM CONLEY, son of Benjamin Conley, whose grandfather was James Conley of Ireland. His father's first wife was a Miss Dix and their children were: Virginia, wife of Enoch Westfall ; Annie, wife of William Rohrbough; Rachel, wife of Granville Post; Eliza, wife of David Teets, and J. C [Jeremiah Columbus], who married Columbia Loudin. His fathers' second wife was Lydia Westfall, daughter of George Westfall and their children were: Verna, wife of Daniel M. Teets ; Florence and J. W., the subject of this sketch. He is a farmer and stock dealer of Warren District and has been school commissioner of that district." [22] | ||

02 Nov 1844 | To the Clerk of Lewis County, Va. - This is to certify that I Francis W. Read a minister of The Gospel in the Methodist Episcopal Church Celebrate the rite of matrimony according to the law of this Commonwealth for the undersigned. ...George Westfall & Miss Ruhany Cutright Nov 2nd 1844 [15] It seems very odd that the minister's return to the county clerk is dated August 1844 but the marriage occurred in November. It appears that maybe someone was "fudging" the books. It is strange. but true, that father and son, George and Eli both married a Ruhany Cutright a few months apart. Evidence to support this is, George and Eli appear on the same page of the 1850 census of Lewis County. Both are enumerated with a Ruhama in the household. In George's household her age is 49 and in Eli's household, her age is 24. The Cutright's were a large extended family in Lewis and neighboring counties and appear almost everywhere the Westfall's do. I am fairly certain that researchers interested in the Cutright family could easily untangle the relationship between George's first wife, Lydia Cutright, his second wife Ruhama, and his son's wife also named Ruhama Cutright. |

WESTFALL,
John S. (ZACHARIAH5,
CORNELIUS4, ABEL3, JOHANNES2,
JURIAEN1) He was born on 01
Nov 1800 in Randolph County, Virginia and died on
27 Jan 1876 in Meigs County, Ohio. He married
Elizabeth Queen in Harrison County, Virginia
in 1825. She was his life-long companion.
It appears that he and most of his family removed
from Virginia about 1857 to Ohio. He appears
on the censuses of 1830 in Lewis County, Virginia;
1840 in Harrison County, Virginia; 1850 also in Harrison
County, Virginia; 1860 in Meigs County, Ohio; 1870
in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio where he
died in 1876.

John S. Westfall and Elizabeth Queen were married in Harrison County, (West) Virginia [8,9] |
Children:
|
John S. Westfall and Elizabeth Queen had 8 children | |
38. | i | Levi Westfall was born about 1826 in Harrison County, Virginia. He married Drucilla Casto on 19 Nov 1847 in Lewis County, Virginia. Most Members Public Family Trees on Ancestry.com omit Levi. I believe he was the son of John S. Westfall and Elizabeth Queen mainly because he is found with the multiple family groups related to them in Meigs County, Ohio. It appears that he went to Ohio about the same time as John and his wife and children who were still living at home. Levi would also account for the male child born in the appropriate time frame. [10] |
39.
|
ii. | Sarah Westfall was born Abt. 1829 in Virginia. She married Marshal Warner on 14 Apr 1851 in Harrison County, Virginia. The Warner family appears on the census for 1860 in Upshur County, Virginia (PO Buckhannon). Marshall Warner, Sarah his wife and three children appear on the 1870 census in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio. In 1880 in the family is in Sheridan, Clare County, Michigan. [11] |
40.
|
iii. | Zachariah S. Westfall was born Abt. 1831 in Harrison County, Virginia. He went to Meigs County, Ohio with his parents some time in the 1850's. He married Cordelia McClain in 1857 probably in Meigs County, Ohio. Between June 1870 and June 1880 he and his family removed from Ohio to Montana Township, Jewell County, Kansas. He died in 1896 in Nodaway County, Missouri. In that year his widow Cordelia Westfall filed for a Civil War pension based on the Service of husband. Zachariah is Buried in Barnard, Nodaway County, Missouri. [12] |
___
|
iv. | Mary Westfall was born Abt. 1833 in Virginia. Nothing more is known about her. She disappears from the records after the 1850 census when she was 17 years old and living with her parents. It is likely that she married some time in the early 1850's in Virginia, possibly Harrison County. |
41.
|
v. | James Lewis Westfall was born in Sep 1835 probably in Harrison County, Virginia and died on 15 Feb 1914 in Meigs County, Ohio. According to some Members' Public Family Trees on Ancestry.com, he married Lydia Bable on 18 Nov 1860 in Meigs County, Ohio. I have not been able to confirm that, except that his wife's name was Lydia. James appears on the 1850 in Harrison County, Virginia in the household of his parents; in 1860 he is in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio still in the John S. Westfall household. The census of 1870 in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio, James Westfall wife and children are living in John S. Westfall household. On the census of 1880 he and his family are still in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio and his brother Harvey Westfall and family are living in an adjacent dwelling. [13] |
___
|
vii. | Cornelius Westfall was born Abt. 1838 in Virginia. I have been unable to locate Cornelius after he appears in the 1850 census when he was 12 years old and living with his parents in Harrison County, Virginia. |
___
|
viii. | Jane Westfall was born Abt. 1842 in Virginia. She is living with her parents on the 1850 and 1860 censuses. I believe she appears on the 1870 census near to her brothers Levi and Zachariah in Meigs County, Ohio. She is apparently unmarried but she has an eight-year-old girl, Cinthy E. (Cinthia?) I assume to be her daughter. Also next door to her is her sister Sarah (Westfall) Warner and family. I was unable to find any other information about her. [10] |

|
i. | Hannah Warner, born about 1827 probably in Lewis County, Virginia; married in 1851 Moses H. Bennet, Upshur County, Virginia. Hannah died on October 15, 1859 in Upshur County. She had at least three children: George L Bennett, b. abt. 1852, Upshur County, Virginia; Emaline S. Bennett, b. about 1855, Upshur County; Sarah Jane Bennett, b. about 1857, Upshur Co. After Hannah's death, Moses married Mary Barton probably in 1860. [5] |
__. |
ii. | Catherine Warner, born about 1829, Lewis County, Virginia; she married John Paugh (pronounced Paw) in 1856 in Upshur County, Virginia; John Paugh supposedly died about 1860. The family of John and Catherine Paugh does not appear on any (West) Virginia census; however, there is a Catherine Pugh, apparently widowed, born in Virginia about 1827, living in Bond County, Illinois in 1860 with four children born between 1852 and 1858. If her marriage was actually in 1856 as claimed in the W.B. Cutright History of Upshur County, this seems to preclude her. I do not always trust dates given in local histories as they are usually based on people's memories. [6] |
__. |
iii. | John S. Warner, born about 1832, Lewis County, Virginia; died after 01 Jun 1880 probably in Harrison County, West Virginia. He married Emily (Wileman?) between 01 June 1850 and 01 June 1860 probably in Harrison County. It appears that this couple left no descendants. [7] |
__. |
iv. | Ruth Warner, born about 1835, Lewis County, Virginia; died 02 July 1853 in Upshur County, Virginia at the age of 18. Ruth never married and left no descendants. [8] |

|
v. | Lydia Warner, born about 1837, Lewis County, Virginia; married Frederick Hefner (Heavner) on February 2, 1854 in Upshur County, Virginia; this couple had at least 11 children: John A. Heavner (b. December 1852); Mary Elizabeth Heavner (b. May 1854); Ruth E. Heavner (b. January 1859); Jacob B. Heavner (b. July 1861); Lovada Ellen Heavner (b. November 1864); Christina F. Heavner (b.

Warner, born 01 June 1840, Lewis County, Virginia and died 19 August 1912 in Randolph County, West Virginia; married Sarah Ann Dunbar, daughter of Daniel Dunbar, on 25 November 1860 in Upshur County. Jacob and Sarah had six children: son Jarret L. Warner, born about 1866; daughter Nettie L. Warner, born about 1867; son Florinus J. Warner, born about December 1869; son Peter S. Warner, born about 1872; son John W. Warner, born about 1874; daughter Cora M. Warner, born about 1875. This family lived in Ten Mile Township of Harrison County for many years. [10] |

These children do not appear on a later census (that I can find) - did they and their father all die about the same time? Rebecca married (2) Norman F. Butler about 1864 in Iowa.

Compiled by John House, 1906; WESTFALL FAMILY. |
1801 | Durrett, Ralph (1975); CHILDREN OF ZACHARIAH WESTFALL AND HANNAH WOOLF - Fifth child: "Clark Westfall, born about 1801, probably in Harrison County, probably died in Jackson County prior to 1850 [died in Iowa in 1849]. He was in the Jackson County census of 1840. He had a wife and five children at home between the ages of 5 and 15. We do not have a marriage for him unless it was a second marriage. There was a Clark Westfall married in Jackson County in 1847 to Martha R. Leal [sic] [Martha R. Teal]. This might have been a second marriage or the marriage of a son." | |

i. | Harvey Westfall He was born Abt. 1836 in Virginia and probably died in Vinton County, Ohio sometime in the 1890's. He married Virginia Walburn about 1861. Harvey appears on the census of 1860 in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio in the John S. Westfall household; his age was 24. He was located in Wilkerville Township, Vinton County, Ohio for the census of 1870 with his wife Virginia Westfall and four children. In 1880 he and his family are back in Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio living next to his brother James; in his household is his mother-in-law Elcey (Elsie) Walburn. The 1890 Special Census of Civil War veterans in Vinton County, Ohio he is listed as Harvey Westfall, Pvt. Co. G 14th W.Va. Inf., enlisted in August 1862 and discharged in 1865. Children of Harvey and Virginia: John D. Westfall, b. 1862 in West Virginia; William S. Westfall, b. 1866 in Ohio (probably Meigs Co.); Elizabeth J. Westfall, b. about 1868, Ohio; Elcy (Elsie) Westfall, b. January, 1870 in Vinton County, Ohio, probably died young and unmarried; Martin C. Westfall, b. 1873 in Ohio. [9] |

This couple left no descendants. [11] |

iv. | Amanda Westfall born 04 Aug 1844 Harrison Co. West Virginia and died 10 Nov 1909 Upshur Co.,West Virginia. She married Lorenzo Dow Black in Upshur County on September 21, 1864. He was born about 1845 in Barbour County, Virginia. The couple had six children all born in Upshur County: Mary C. Black, born about 1866; Ulysses G. Black, born June 1868; Granville Dexter Black, born about 1871, died May 16, 1937; Sue Ellen Black, born about 1874; James? O. Black, born about 1878 (it is strange that this family had two children named James); James M. Black, born May 1880. [12] |

v. | Martha Westfall born about 1847 Barbour County, Virginia. She married Jacob C. Maxson on 18 Apr 1864 Upshur County, West Virginia . He was born about 1846 in Virginia. They had at least seven children all born in Upshur County: John E. Maxson, born December 1864, Married (1) Ida B. Deauley, (2) Catherine Dunnington; Arena Maxson, born June 16, 1868, married C. W.

[13] |
__. |
vi. | Marietta (Mary E.) Westfall born about 1849 in Virginia. She married James R. Lewis who was born about 1857 in Virginia. I have been unable to locate any information on her or her family. [14] |
__. |
vii. | Margaret L. Westfall born about 1852 in Upshur County, (West) Virginia. She married Lafayette Crouser, son of John and Nancy Crouser, on January 12, 1868 in Upshur County. He was born in Barbour County, Virginia about 1848. Lafayette Crouser married a second time in 1870. This indicates to me that Margaret probably died in child birth within her marriage. I am unable to find any other information on Margaret or any indication that she had children. [15] |
__. |
viii. | Elman Westfall, he was born 13 Jan 1854 in Upshur Co.,West Virginia and died 20 Apr 1861 of epilepsy at the age of seven. [16] |
__. |
ix. | Infant girl Westfall still born on 13 Sep 1859 Upshur Co.,West Virginia. This information was from a public family tree on Ancestry.com; however, the author did not name his source. I think that the information was from a headstone in an Upshur County cemetery. [17] |

Reason Queen, Harrison County, Virginia [1,2] |
Children: |
Sarah Westfall and Reason Queen had six children all born in Harrison County, (West) Virginia. | |
54.
|
i. | Margaret Queen, born about 1835 and died on August 18,1878 in Lewis County. She married Thomas E. Dennison on September 11, 1852 in Harrison County. The couple had six children: Sarah Dennison, born about 1854; Susan Dennison, born about 1856; Reason Dennison, born about 1859; Courtland Dennison, born about 1861; Margaret R. Dennison, born about 1866; Joseph C. Dennison, born about 1867. [7] |
55.
|
ii. | Susan Ann (Susannah) Queen, born about 1836 in Harrison County and died on November 27, 1907 of Consumption (TB). She married Andrew B. Denison on June 25, 1854 in Harrison County, Virginia. The couple had three children that we know of: William E. Dennison, born in 1855; John R. Dennison, born about 1858; Mary J. Dennison, born about 1868. [8] |
56.
|
iii. | Charles W. Queen, born about 1840 and died on November 22, 1913 in Bridgeport, Harrison County. He married Edith Hannah, daughter of Maffon & Edith Hannah, in Upshur County on April 5, 1857. The three children we know of are: James M Queen, born about 1859; Sarah Queen, born about 1860, married Jasper Bright; Charles M. Queen, born about 1870; Charles Sr. served with the Confederacy in the 20 Virginia Cavalry, which partly explains the gap in the ages of the children.[9] |
57.
|
iv. | Clark W. Queen, born about 1843. He married Sarah C. Queen, daughter of Levi J. and Nancy Queen. [10] |
__.
|
v. | Edwin Queen, born about 1846 died of dysentry on August 18, 1853 and the age of six. Several Queen children, including brother John and several cousins, all living in the Peel Tree community of Harrison County died in August and September, 1853. This seems to indicate to me that a contaminated water source, either a well or stream, was to blame. |
___ |
vi. | John Queen, born about 1848 died of dysentry on August 18, 1853 at the age of five. This must have been a terrible tragedy for this family. |
Notes: |
Sarah Westfall was born Abt. 1816 in Harrison County, Virginia. She married Reason Queen on 01 Nov 1833 in Harrison County, Virginia. She supposedly died on 05 Apr 1844; however, she gave birth to son John Queen about 1848 and I expect that is the year of her death. Reason Queen remarried to Elizabeth Romine in February 1853. The information on her children comes from the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Harrison County. I was able to verify the children from marriage and death records available on-line through West Virginia's Archives and History database. These records often give the names of parents of the bride and groom. NOTE: Census dates - The information in each census return was supposed to be as of 01 June (unless otherwise indicated), regardless of when the census taker actually visited the family. In every case, I have used the official date of the census. |
