Richard, I am again working on my provable ancestor Joshua Mummey. I have conflicting information on his birthplace.Army discharge says Fayette Co PA.1850 Census differs.
On the 1850 Census he is adjacent to Alexander Mummey b 1815 VA.Joshua b 1818 OH.They are in Morgan town, Morgan Co OH.The Christopher Mummey family is in Meigsville.My feeling is that these two men are brothers and perhaps nephews of Christopher.
MY Joshua's birthdate seems too late for the Samuel who m 1774 Rebecca Owings and probably is the Samuel who died 1818.
This came from a family historian in Brooke Co WV:
In some records named "Index to Ohio County, referring to Brooke
County Property 1773-1798", I find two different transactions atributed to a
Samuel Mummey.In one he sold land to a John Hendricks and in another, he
purchased land from an Edmund Baxter.There is no actual date referenced, or
further details, but the courthouse must have these records, as that's where
they were transcribed from.
I find no marriages or wills listed in Brooke for any Mummey.

Richard, could you send me the URL for the Mummey Reunion Page?
I was seriously ill last summer and not able to follow up on your material at that time.
MY Joshua moved his family about 1853 to Pike Co IL where his daughter Eliza Mary married James Musgrave.Joshua and his wife Ruth d in Flint Township.dori
