About The Legend of the Lynchs

 
 
During our research of 'The Legend of the Lynchs', it has taken us through 
many paths and traveled down many roads of our past ancestors.  We have traced 
them through Bath, Calhoun, Gilmer, Braxton, Wirt and many other Counties of 
Virginia and West Virginia.  Traveling the many surrounding areas we have seen 
the beauty of the hills and mountains of West Virginia and thank God for all 
that he has given us.  Our family has entwined so many times with early 
pioneer families such as Gregory, Starcher, Whytsell, Skidmore, Arthur, Mace, 
Dodrill and many others.  Many heartfelt thanks to all those who have opened 
their home and hearts to help us make this such a success with all their 
photos and family history.  What a joy it has been to hear elder relatives 
reminisce about special times in their lives.  They explain it in such detail 
that you could close your eyes and almost visualize the story as it was being 
told. Our goal was to have a site where you could easily find information 
about our family history for past, present and future references.  

John Lynch was born in 1742 and immigrated to the United States from Galway,  Ireland where there is a Lynch Castle and many other landmarks carrying the  Lynch name.  When his family came from Ireland, they dropped the O from  O'Lynch where today we are known as Lynch.  In 1768 he married Mary Moore and  they lived in Bath County, Virginia which later became Pocahontas County, West  Virginia.  We are able to trace their lives through birth, census, marriage  and death records through many of the counties listed above.  We are listing  four of their children that we have verified though records and although many  others are mentioned through other researchers we have decided not to add them  until we can verify their birth. Some record indicate that Samuel H. Lynch was  born in 1851 died in 1868 and was married to June Monroe.  We have birth  certificate of Harry Lynch that shows Samuel H. Lynch/Sarah Jane Monroe and  they were married July 04, 1880 in Calhoun County. December 2005 a brick wall  came tumbling down with the help of Michele Siegrist Clark with the name of  Sarah Jane Monroe Lynch Ferrell's husband name and where they are buried.  Its  so exciting to see researchers working together.  So, now we have the name  Ferrell that we will add to our surnames that we are researching.  Thanks  again Michele! Do you have any brick walls,  Would be glad to try to help you  tear the wall down.  Email us!

We would like to thank Michele (Siegrist) Clark for helping us set up this web  site and to Pollee Kreaps, Calhoun County Web Page, Sandy Stansberry who gave  us all the information on the Shrout Surname, Paul Clites, Lois Curry, Donna  Walbrown, Tim and Jeanette Simmons, Margaret Moss, Pam Drake, Don Norman, Hur  Herald and many others for sharing their family history.

Please take your time and enjoy the family  history and please feel free to contact us if you have any additions or  corrections or photos.
