For Robin:

Bored with the Ohio winter I went to the Ohio Genealogical Society library last Friday to look over their meager holdings of West Virginia materials. You may have most of this but I'm posting for the archives.

I found the marriage of John S Pyatt and Mary Katherine Snyder to be just as posted to the list earlier. Since the marriage took place at the home of Thomas and Elizabeth Snyder of Mason Co WV I wondered if their daughter Lucinda was also married in Mason Co WV. She was, but of course there is an error in the record. What else is new?

"Mason Co WV Marriage Licenses, Nov 19, 1866-Sep 18, 1870, by Violette S Machir and Juanita K Burdette:"

Book 5, page 16:
William H Peyton, 38, farmer, b Greenbrier Co, s/o William and Mary, and
Lucinda Snyder, 18, b Jackson Co, d/o Thomas and Elizabeth
on 27-29 March 1868 by Neely Greenlee (dates of license and return?)

Let's hope that an examination of the original record will show William H Pyatt. Everything else fits.

As posted previously, I wondered if the Snyder girls, born Jackson Co and married in Mason Co, were always of those counties. The 1860 census, however, showed them with parents and siblings in Roane Co WV. The next household in Roane Co was what appeared to be George Peat and wife Jane. Robin mentioned this couple, or at least George and wife Elizabeth, in a posting last year.

"Marriages of Roane Co WV by Mary E Earl and Mrs c M Burdette," DAR typescript, 1975:
George Peat and Elizabeth Jane Snyder, June 1859.

No further details are given in the typescript but the original record should reveal more as do the records in Mason Co WV. So here we have George with his wife Elizabeth and Jane, take your pick as to what she was called. They had no children in the 1860 census which would not be unusual with a June 1859 marriage. And Elizabeth Jane was a Snyder. Could it be that she was another daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth who lived next door?
