Research Notes

This profiles previously contained the following sources. The Life Story link is to Ancestry and behind a paywall. It is apparently a personal family tree. The West Virginia Marriage Record is not for Rachel and Hiram so it is unclear how it pertains to this profile. It currently has a link that goes to another marriage record for Joseph Dickson and Nancy McClung.
