BRYAN: I am looking for the names
of the BRYAN children buried in the Jenkins Creek Cemetery, Cabell
County, West Virginia. The funeral home markers say four children
of --- Bryan and two children of --- Bryan. At one time, I think
they may have said Albert Bryan and Percy Bryan. These deaths would
be prior to 1951.

TURNER: I am looking for information on a David Turner, M.D. He was a doctor in the Huntington, West Virginia area from approximately 1830 to late 1840. He was supposed to have been born in England. According to census records, he disappeared from the record before 1850. One story is he returned to his native England. Another is he died. His wife was Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Merritt (born about 1817). She was the daughter of William Merritt of Barboursville. One source cites David’s middle name as Feltham and he was born before 1815. I’d appreciate any help.
