ELVIRA PICKEREL VA to OH Parents VA and MD
I am looking for the parents of ELVIRA PICKEREL from VA.According to OH census records, she was born around 1810-1812...her father was from VA and her mother was from MD.Elvira is found living in Muskingum County, OH, Hopewell Township near Mt. Sterling, on 1860 Census and married to JESSEE SMITH born 1806-1810 and also from VA.(parents ukn but both from VA, also!)
I know of at least one child.ALEXANDER SMITH and possibly JESSEE SMITH, JR both of which were also born in VA! Jesse Jr remained in Muskingum County and married Eliza Jane Terry.Alexander married three times...and in 1899 when he married for the third time in Muskingum County, stated his residence was in Green Center, Iowa.
The story goes that Jesse (Bertrum?) Smith, Sr.'s father, also believed to be named "Jesse Bertrum?" Smith, worked with Ebenezer Zane on the building of the National Road in very late 1700's and early 1800's and after finishing it...came to live in Muskingum County on its border with Licking County.
Any tidbit of information would be most appreciative...Thank you!
