Runyon Genealogy by Robert & Amos Runyon. The following is from Runyon Genealogy by Robert & Amos Runyon pp134-135 "William Runyon was born circa 1751, probably in New Jersey. He was living in that part of Monongalia County in 1782 which later became Harrison County in 1785. The U.S. Census lists William, his wife, and six children living there in 1782 and in Harrison County in 1785. William was granted 395 acres of land situated on the waters of Sycamore Creek, Harrison County, in 1786. He emigrated with his family to Butlerville, Ohio, in 1802, after his home and belongings were destroyed by Indians

1. Henry, born in 1775. He married Abigail Lynch in 1796. She was born in 1777.

2. Elizabeth, born circa 1777. She married William Bennett in 1799.

3. William, born circa 1779. He married Hannah Sine in 1803.

4. Susan, born circa 1781. She married John Waggoner in 1798.

5. Isaac, born circa 1783.

6. Jane, born circa 1785. She married George Piper.

7. Benjamin, born circa 1787.

8. John, born circa 1789.

9. David, born March 7, 1793. He married (1st) Elizabeth Layman and (2nd) Rebecca Sharp. [there isn't a Sarah listed as one of their children?]

The list of John's children and William's children are from Winnifred Beatty's The Baumgardner Family and a list published in Genealogy and History Vol. 5, No.2, prepared by the late Forest M. Runyon. Ruben Gold Thwaites, Withers Chronicles of Border Warfare may be in error when (p419) he reports John Runyon, Jr., son of John and Susannah (Kuster) Runyon, was killed by Indians. [unfortunately they don't elaborate on that statement] This is from p130 There is no information available that indicates the relationship between Henry, William, and John Runyon, who settled in Harrison County, Virginia. There is evidence that Elijah Runyon was a son of Henry.
