My  paternal grandparents and great-grandparents were from the
Bracken/Robertson/Nicholas co. area.  My grandmother, Arabelle Toomey
Ramey, grew up in the community of Saltwell in Nicholas Co.  and moved to
Harrison Co. after her marriage in 1894.  Arabelle's mother was Martha Ellen
Brierly Toomey, daughter of Leonard Lyons Brierly and Nancy Ann Smitson
Brierly of Bracken and Robertson Co.   Following is information from Martha
Ellen's bible.
