JOHN DAVID HAYHURST - was born December 23, 1834, on the farm where he now
lives, on Warrior fork of Buffalo creek, Mannington district, Marion county. His
father, Joseph Hayhurst, was a native of this section of country, and settled a
large tract of land, part of it the same the son now is cultivating, and he was
a son of David and Sarah (Warner) Hayhurst. He served six months as a volunteer
in the 1812 war, and received honorable discharge. His wife, mother of John
David, was Elizabeth, daughter of John and Jane (Wilson) Price, of Maryland. The
Wilsons and Prices were of German descent, and the Hayhursts were residents for
two generations of Maryland. In Mannington district, September 7, 1856, John D.
Hayhurst and Rebecca Higgenbotham were joined in the bands of wedlock. She was
born near Pine Grove, in that part of Tyler county, Virginia, now included in
Wetzel county, West Virginia, November 26, 1834. William and Sabra (Snodgrass)
Higginbotham were her parents, her father, born in Pennsylvania, a son of
William and Sarah (Watson) Higginbotham, and her mother, born in Virginia, a
daughter of William and Betsey (Raymond) Snodgrass. The Snodgrass family were
originally from Ireland, and Mrs. Hayhurst's Grandmother Watson was a daughter
of George Wilson, who made the first settlement in what is now Mannington
district, two miles from the present town of Mannington. They were from
Pennsylvania. John D. Hayhurst was converted on Friday and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church (South) on Sunday, March 22, 1868, and has been a class-leader
for eight years past, and still holds the office acceptably to the people.
