Va., the hardware and saddlery business now carried on by his sons, Isaac, Joe and Abe, was born in 1834 near Berlin, Germany, and came to America in 1860, locating at Columbus, Ohio. At the time of the Civil war he enlisted for service in the Union army, as a private in the 23d Ohio Vol. Infantry, and was honorably discharged after a military service of three years. He then came to Charleston and opened a harness shop, having learned his trade in Ohio, and conducted the business alone until 1890, when he took his two elder sons, Louis and Moses, into partnership, and the business developed into a wholesale and retail hardware, harness and saddlery concern. In 1903 the eldest son, Louis Loewenstein, died at the age of thirty-five years. He left a widow, Ida (Hananer) Loewenstein, who now resides in Pittsburg, Pa. The father and other son continued the business until 1909, when both died and the younger sons succeeded, these three brothers being Isaac, Joe and Abe the present proprietors of the business. They have a dozen men on the road, besides numerous other employees. The business, which is very large and is both wholesale and retail, utilizes five floors and a basement at Nos. 223-225 Capitol Street, Charleston. Mrs. Solomon Loewenstein, whose maiden name was Henrietta Fecheiner, was born in Ohio, of German parents, and was mar-ried to Mr. Loewenstein at Cincinnati, Ohio. She still survives and makes her home with her sons. She has three married daughters, namely: Amelia, who married Samuel Hess and resides at Charleston, having one son, Morton; Mamie, also a resident of Charleston, who married David Pear and has two children-Howard and Louis; and Bella, who is the wife of Arthur Isaacs, of Columbus, Ohio.

Laidley Richmond Arnold Publishing Co., Chicago, ILL. 1911 p. 407-408 SIDNEY S. STAUNTON, M.D., a well known member of the Kanawha County medical profession, who is engaged in practice in Elk District, was born August 2, 1846, at Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County, N. Y., and is the son of Jacob Galusha and Julia A. (Prescott) Staunton. John Warren Staunton, the grandfather of Dr. Staunton, was a native of Massachusetts and the son of a Revolutionary soldier, and at the age of eight years he began to help support his father's family. Later he located in Catta-raugus County, N.Y., where he became promi-nent in public matters and served for sixteen years as county clerk. He was married to Sarah Brewster, who was descended from Elder Brewster, of the Mayflower. Jacob Galusha Staunton was born on the old family homestead in Cattaraugus County, N. Y., and at the age of eighteen years began teaching school, in the meanwhile carrying on his studies for a legal career. He was admitted to the bar at the age of twenty-one years, but on account of ill health was compelled to embark in another oc-cupation and chose the lumber business, with which he was identified until twenty-four. Later he became interested in the real estate business and was made manager for a large concern, but in 1858 he closed out his interests and came to Kanawha County, where with his brother, Dr. Joseph Marshal Staunton, he engaged in the manufacture of Cannell coal oil. During the Civil War, Mr. Staunton became interested in the transportation of meat, and was one of the first promoters of the coal storage system of transportation at Buffalo, N. Y., and also during the latter years of his life, evinced much interest in inventions and patents. His death occurred in July, 1887. He was a member of the Episcopal church. He was a stanch Whig, and later an Independent, and some of his speeches are still held in public memory, although he never cared for office and on one occasion declined the nomination for Congress. In August, 1845, Mr. Staunton was married to Julia A. Prescott, who was horn June 21, 1826, at Plattsburg, N. Y., a daughter of Alexander H. and Lucinda (Herrick) Prescott. Sidney S. Staunton was but twelve years of age when he entered the office of his uncle, Doctor Jonathan Brewster Staunton, and after completing his education, at the age of eighteen years entered the medical department of the University of Buffalo under the preceptorship of Dr. Sanford Eastman. After his father's failure, he was thrown on his own resources, and during his last year in college kept hooks in order to pay his expenses. In i866 he commenced practice as assistant to his uncle, Jonathan Brewster Staunton, and in 1868 he came to Kanawha County, W. Va., and located at his present home, where he has been engaged in the practice of his profession, in conjunction with operating a farrn, to the present time. He has also been somewhat interested in the lumber business. For a full generation Dr. Staunton devoted himself to a hard country practice, but at the end of forty-five years of such work, with increasing age and diminishing strength, he is gradually relinquishing active practice, and devoting more time to domestic and social duties, to reading; and to the writing of reminiscences and fiction, a pastime of which he is very fond. He is a member of the State and County medical associations. In political matters he is a stanch Republican, and served as justice of the peace of the county court, from 1873 to 1877, and was appointed to fill a vacancy as county commissioner during the years from 1887 to 1889. On February 19, 1872, Dr. Staunton was married to Miss Mary Lucinda Staunton, the eldest daughter of Dr. Joseph Marshal and Mary Elizabeth (Wilbur) Staunton, and to this union there have been born the following children: John Galusha, who is engaged in business at Charleston-Kanawha; Julia Lee, who married Madison T. Davis, Jr., president of the Kanawha Mine Car Co., and has two children, Sidney Prescott and Madison Thenton; Mary Marshal, who married E. A. Palmer, a shoe merchant, and has one child, Mary Eliza-beth; and Warren Brewster, who is in the insurance business, and resides at Charleston-Kanawha.

CARNES, Kanawha County Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit History of Charleston and Kanawha County, West Virginia and Representative Citizens W.S. Laidley Richmond Arnold Publishing Co., Chicago, ILL. 1911 p. 408-410 JAMES N. CARNES, cashier of the Citizens National Bank of Charleston, and inter-ested additionally in a number of other business enterprises in Kanawha County, also in Colorado and Ohio, is a representative business man of this city. He was horn at Lancaster, Ohio, in 1858, and is a son of Arthur and a grandson of Col. Robert Carnes. The Carnes family is of Scotch-Irish origin and the name of Carnes appears among the Scottish and Irish nobility, being' particularly prominent before the Restoration. In more re-cent times, Lord Carnes, Scotch-Irish nobleman, was a member of Parliament. Col. Robert Carnes, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch, came to America from Ireland about 100 years ago, settling in Fairfield Coun-ty, Ohio, where he spent his subsequent life on a farm. In his native land he married Nancy Stewart, an admirable woman in his own station of life, who lived to be quite aged. Nine children were horn to them, of whom Arthur, the father of James N. Carnes, was the young-est. All the sons became farmers, with the exception of James, who was a military man and was killed at New Orleans during the Civil War. Arthur Carnes, who followed an agricultural life, died when he was about forty years of age. He was a man of sterling character and religious temperament and he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church. He married Caroline M. Miller, a daughter of Martin and Annie C. Miller, who came direct frpm Germany, their native land, to Fairfield County, Ohio, in which locality Mrs. Arthur Carnes still resides-at Lancaster, 0., bearing well her weight of seventy-eight years. They were the parents of three children-Anna, El-len and James N. Anna, who married W. H. Keller, is now deceased. Ellen resides with her mother at Lancaster. James N. Carnes was offered excellent educational advantages, including a business course at Painesville, Ohio. Prior to April, 187q, when he came to Charleston, he was engaged in business in his native state. After removing to Kanawha county, he became associated with George Davis, a well known citizen in the hardware business and their business relations continued until failing health made it necessary for Mr. Davis to remove to Colorado. Mr. Carnes then came to the Citizens National Bank, of which he is now a director, having continued with this institution since i896, first as assistant cashier and later as cashier. On February 24, 1904, Mr. Carnes was married at Wilson, N. C., to Miss Elizabeth Crowe!l, who was born and reared in that place and who is a daughter of Jonas Williams and Virginia (Vick) Crowell, and a descendant of Oliver Cromwell. In 1674 John and Edward Cromwell, two brothers of the House of Cromwell, sold their estates in England and emigrated to America to escape the persecutions visited on the family under the Stuart dynasty after the Restoration. While on board ship they decided to change their name, and this was done with solemn ceremony by writing the name in full, and then cutting out the "m" and throwing it into the sea, thus making the name "Crowell." They first settled in Woodbridge, N. J. Afterwards John Crowell went south and settled in Halifax county, N. C., at a place now known as Crowells, and which 'is the original home of the North Carolina Crowells. The family became planters and large slave holders, several of them were active in the Revolutionary war, and in general they have been closely identified with the growth and development of North Carolina. Col. James B. Crowell, the great grandfather of Mrs. Carnes, was born and reared there; also Col. John Crowell, who in early life re-sided in Georgia and was for many ycars a congressman from that state. Col. James B. Crowell was a large slave holder. He married Miss Tabitha Williams, by whom he had two sons-the late Jonas Crowell, who went to Ala-bama and became a wealthy manufacturer of that state, and William Crowell, the grandfather of Mrs. Carnes, who remained in east-ern North Carolina and married Miss Mary Ellen Hamilton, whose family was a branch of the noted English family of that name. He had one son, Jonas Williams Crowell, the father of Mrs. Carnes. Jonas Williams Crowell was born in Nash county, N. C., and was attending school at the Southern University, at Greensboro, Ala., at the outbreak of the Civil War. He thereupon enlisted in the Fifth Alabama regiment. After two years with that regiment he secured a transfer to the Thirtieth North Carolina regi-ment, which was composed of so many of his old friends, and with this regiment he remained until the surrender at Appomattox. He then returned to eastern North Carolina, and engaged in the dry goods business. He married Miss Virginia Vick. After following mercantile business for several years, he became a prominent politician and for many years was known and loved throughout eastern North Carolina. He was a Knights Templar Mason. He died in Wilson, N. C., January 23, 1904, universally beloved and esteemed. On the maternal side Mrs. Carnes is descended from the Von Veekes of Holland and the Bailies and Whiteheads of Scotland, who settled in eastern North Carolina about two hundred years ago, and became large planters and slave holders. Members of these families have married and intermarried with some of the most prominent and representative people of North Carolina. Col. Asel Vick, of Nash county, N. C., the grandfather of Mrs. Carnes, was one of the most prominent men in his section of the state and one of the largest slave holders. Mrs. Jonas W. Crowell still survives and resides with her daughter, Mrs. Carnes. Mrs. Carnes was carefully educated; she was instructed by private tutors and for several years was tutored by an ex-member of the faculty of Yale-who in consequence of failing health was sojourning in the South. Later she attended school at the Convent of Mt.-de-Sales near Baltimore, Md., from which institution she was graduated. >From childhood Mrs. Carnes has been a great reader and an enthusiastic lover of good books. She is an active member of the oldest and most exclusive literary clijb in the city. She and her husband are moving spirits in much of the pleasant social life of Charleston. They have no children. In his political sentiments Mr. Carnes is a Republican, but is not actively interested in politics. He has long been identified with the Masonic Order, and is serving as treasurer of Kanawba Lodge No. 20, A. F. & A. M., Tyrian Royal Arch Chap-ter, No.13, Kanawba Commandery No.4, and Beni-Kedem Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is Past High Priest of Tyrian Royal Arch Chapter No.13 and Past Eminent Commander of Kanawha Commandery No.4. He is a man of business ability and one who takes a practical interest in whatever is calculated to promote the moral and material welfare of the community in which he resides, while ample means enable him to enjoy life by the gratification of refined tastes Sandy Spradling SSpradling@AOL.com State Contact for WV GenExchange http://www.genexchange.com/wv/index.cfm ______________________________X-Message: #4 Date: Sat, 25 Sep 1999 16:21:45 EDT From: SSpradling@aol.com To: WV-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: Subject: BIO: Major William A. Bradford, Kanawha County Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit History of Charleston and Kanawha County, West Virginia and Representative Citizens W.S. Laidley Richmond Arnold Publishing Co., Chicago, ILL. 1911 p. 410-413 MAJOR WILLIAM A. BRADFORD, deceased, for many years after the close of his honorable service as a soldier in the Confederate Army, was a foremost business man of Charleston and led in many of the enterprises which contributed to the advancement of this city. He bore an ancestral name that was distinguished even in colonial days but needed no luster from by-gone forefathers to establish his place in the world. Major Bradford was born May '3, 1830, at Earlysville, Albemarle county, Va. His father was William Ashton Bradford (2) and his mother was Eliza Mildred Lewis (Clarkson) Bradford. It is well established in the Bradford family that the immigrant settler, John Bradford, who reached the shores of America as early as i60o, coming from Scotland, was the uncle of William Bradford, who, twenty years later became governor of the Pilgrim colony in Massachusetts. John Bradford left descendants in Albemarle county, Va. One son, Alexander Bradford, was born there July 22, 1729. He married Jemima, a daughter of John and Elizabeth Jones, and they passed their lives in Virginia, his death being recorded in 1828 and hers in 1802. Fourteen children were born to them, seven sons and seven daughters. William Ashton Bradford was the sixth son and the thirteenth child of Alexander and Jemima Bradford. He was born in Albemarle county, March 13, 1774. He served with the rank of Major in the War of 1812 and dis-tinguished himself as a soldier. Like other members of his family he lived in lavish style, maintained great plantations and owned hun-dreds of slaves and he was also influential in public affairs in Albemarle county. His death took place in 1859. He married Mrs. Ann Coleman (Slaughter) Fry, a sister of Rev. Philip Slaughter, who was rector of St. Mark's Parish, Richmond, Va., and a niece of Capt. Philip Slaughter, of Revolutionary War fame. She was the widow of Capt. Reuben Fry. who was captain of a company in the Revolutionary War, a man of such military ability and so highly considered by the army, that at one time it seemed possible that he would be selected as commander-in-chief in place of George Wash-ington. To Major William Ashton Bradford and wife four children were born. William Ashton Bradford (2), son of Ma-jor William Ashton Bradford and father of the late Major William Ashton Bradford, the third inheritor of the name, was the only son of his parents and was born in Albemarle county, Va., and died there June 25, 1830, when only twenty-two years of age. He was a man of culture and education and had made something of a name for himself in letters although his life was so early ended. He married Miss Eliza Mildred Clarkson, who was born in Marlborough county, Va., in i8ii, and died in 1842. They had but one child, William Ashton (3). William Ashton Bradford (3) was educated in private schools and by tutors. In 1861, when the Civil War became a fact, he was much interested and not only raised but also equipped a company made up of elderly men for temporary service and after it was disbanded rejoined a regiment of cavalry that was raised at Richmond. Shortly afterward he was assigned to the staff of Gen. Humphrey Marshall, with the rank of major, and when General Marshall was sent to Congress, he transferred to Gen. Preston's staff, and when the latter was sent on an important mission to Spain, Major Bradford, who it might appear, carried good luck with him, was placed on the staff of General Breckenridge and remained until the latter was appointed secretary of war. Major Bradford participated in the battles of Wyandot, Jones-ville, Chickamauga, Cold Harbor, Lynchburg, Fredericksburg and Winchester. Subsequently he was taken ill with fever and was sent to a hospital at Wythesville, Va., and was still confined there when Generals Lee, Kirby Smith and Johnson surrendered. After sufficiently recovering he secured his parole and then returned to Charleston. Major Bradford's subsequent life was, as be-fore indicated, one of usefulness and activity. He was interested in many lines and for years was one of the city's leading bankers. He was also the patentee of a valuable steam gauge. Major Bradford was married to Miss Elizabeth Johnston McChesney, who was born in Bath county, Va., and accompanied her parents to Charleston in 187 I, where she was reared and liberally educated and fitted for the social circles in which she has always been a figure. Her parents were Dr. Alexander Gallatin McChesney and Sallie Gatewood (Moffett) McChesney, the former of whom died in 1877 while on a visit to his daughter in Virginia and was buried in Virginia; the mother died in 1881. Dr. McChesney was a graduate of Jefferson Med-ical College, Philadelphia and became a prominent physician. His father was James McChesney and his grandfather was Robert McChesney, who was born in Scotland. James McChesney married Frances McNutt, a sister of Governor McNutt, of Mississippi, a niece of General McNutt of Nova Scotia. She was a woman of noted beauty and of great force of character. After her husband had been killed by a maniac, she reared the children and provided them with collegiate advantages and also managed a large plantation with its many slaves. To Major and Mrs. Bradford five children were born: Elizabeth Ashton, Mildred Lewis, Mary Walker, Sallie Moffett, and Robert War-wick. Elizabeth Ashton was graduated with honors from the National Park Seminary at Forest Park, Md., and afterward became the wife of J. Edmund Price, a well known attorney of Charleston. Mildred Lewis, who is a graduate of Hollins Institute, Va., is the wife of Daniel Kingston Flynn, a well known lumberman of Charleston. Mary Walker is a stu-dent of Sweetbrier College, Va. Sallie Moffett died at the age of six years. Robert Warwick, the youngest of the family, is making excellent progress in the Charleston schools. Mrs. Bradford takes a great deal of interest in the society of the Daughters of the Confederacy and holds an official position in this organization. Major Bradford passed away at his home in Charleston, on February 13, 1907. He had been reared in the Episcopal church. To its various objects of benevolent care he was continuously generous, while his broad mind and kind heart responded to calls for charity whenever made. His ancestry, rearing, surroundings and convictions made him a Democrat but the mere holding of office offered little attraction to a man of his habit of thought and busy m9de of life. For many' years he had been identified with the Masonic fraternity. His personal character was without reproach and his memory is held in reverent regard.

Father Lewis attended the parochial schools of Pittsburg and then entered St. Fidelis College, at Herman, Butler County, Pa., where he made his classical course as preparation for the priesthood and was graduated in 1895. After a year's novitiate at Herman he continued his stulies, entering St. Peter & Paul's Monastery, at Cumberland, Md., where he remained until 1901, in December of which year he was ordained by Cardinal Gibbons. His first work was educational in character, as he became professor of Latin, mathematics and the natural sciences, at his alma mater. In July, 1910, he was called to Charleston, W. Va., to take charge of the parish of the Sacred Heart, and here he has continued, accomplishing much both in the way of advancing the material as well as the spiritual interests of his people. Father Lewis has a fine parochial school in operation, under the charge of seven Sisters of the Order of St. Francis. The school proper is free, but a boarding department is conducted in connection with it in order to accommodate pupils from a distance. The building was erected by the late Rev. Joseph E. Stenger. At present a high standard is maintained, both in regard to moral and intellectual training. The church has its own burial ground named Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
