From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for John B. Wilkinson, who resided at Logan Court House in Logan County, West Virginia:

Prosecuting attorney, Logan C.H., W.Va., is a member of one of the oldest and most honorable families of that State. His ancestors came from England, and were among the early settlers of Virginia, where their descendants have ever been held in the highest esteem for those sterling qualities of mind and heart that have been transmitted from father to son through many generations. The subject of this sketch is a son of David and Rebecca (Chafin) Wilkinson. The father, born in Wythe county, Va., Feb. 13, 1837, was married Feb. 11, 1859, and died in his native county Nov. 25, 1862, holding rank of captain in the Confederate army, in which he had been one of the bravest officers. His wife, and the mother of John B. Wilkinson, was born in Logan county, March 29, 1838; she resides there at present. Her son, the gentleman of whom this brief record is taken, was born in Logan county, W.Va., Feb. 13, 1860, and was married there Sept. 21, 1882, to Mary B. Straton, also a native of that county. Their home has been blessed with the following offspring: Maggie, born May 3, 1884; Nellie, born Nov. 14, 1886, died Aug. 5, 1888; and John B., born Nov. 30, 1888. Mrs. John B. Wilkinson was born March 20, 1864. Mr. Wilkinson was appointed Circuit Clerk of Logan county in 1883; was an efficient officer, but resigned the same year. In 1884 he was elected prosecuting attorney for that county, and served so ably that, at the expiration of his term, he was re-elected and has held the office ever since, having never had any opposition at either election. Though young, he is one of the ablest in his profession in his State, and is a citizen well meriting the confidence and trust that have been reposed in him by his fellow citizens. With his amiable and accomplished wife and their two promising children, he resides at his beautiful residence at Logan C.H., where he has the largest and most extensive library in the county, and his law office is the handsomest in the town.

From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for Thomas C. Whited, who resided at Logan Court House in Logan County, West Virginia:

Of Logan C.H., was born in Russell county, Va., Nov. 25, 1854, and resided there till 1870, when he sent several years traveling in the western part of the United States; in 1877 he located at Logan C.H., and was engaged in teaching; was appointed in 1880 a member of the board of examiners for that county; this position he held until 1885, when he was elected county superintendent of public schools, which position he filled with much credit, and resigned in 1886, having been elected clerk of Circuit Court. He was married March 4, 1880, to Celia Totten. They have been blessed with the following offspring, born in order here given: Effie, born Feb. 20, 1882; Willie G., born Aug. 17, 1884; Hattie P., born Nov. 16, 1886; Addie B., born April 25, 1889. Mrs. Thomas C. Whited was born at Logan C.H., W.Va., Sept. 22, 1861. Her father, Rev. John A. Totten, a minister of the M.E. Church, was born in Oakland, Md., was married to Juditha Bonnifield in Randolph county, W.Va., and died in Greenbrier county, W.Va., in the Confederate camp, in 1861. His widow lives at Logan C.H. The subject of this sketch is a son of Robert and Anna (Meadows) Whited. The father, born near Lynchburg, Va., March 7, 1819, is now residing in Chautauqua county, Kan., where he owns extensive and valuable property, and is one of the largest stock raisers in that State. His wife, and the mother of Thomas C. Whited, was born near Lynchburg, Va., in 1821, and died in Russell county, Va., April 3, 1869. The Whited or Whitehead family came originally from Ireland to Virginia, and were among the first settlers of that State. Its branches are scattered in almost every State of the Union, and particularly in the Western States. They have always been people of influence and position, and noted for honor, industry and energy.

From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for Francis M. White, who resided at Logan Court House in Logan County, West Virginia:

Is now engaged in merchandising and farming in Logan county, owning a large store and residence at Logan C.H., and a valuable farm in the neighborhood. He has held several important offices of trust, among them that of deputy sheriff of Logan county for three terms; was postmaster at Logan C.H. for eight years, besides many others, all of which he filled honorably and with an efficiency that proves how fully he merits the confidence of his fellow citizens. At the age of 18 he enlisted as sergeant of Co. I, 7th W.Va. Cav., U.S.A., and served most gallantly from 1862, the date of his enlistment, until 1865, when he was honorably discharged and mustered out at Wheeling, W.Va. After the close of the war of the rebellion, against which his service had been rendered, he returned to his native county, and was there married to Miss Mary Riffe, July 25, 1866. Of this union the following are the issue: Sarah, born July 23, 1867, died Oct. 14, 1875; Mary M., born Oct. 4, 1868, died March 23, 1869; Carlos B., born Jan. 3, 1870, resides with his parents; Bilton, born Sept. 17, 1871, died Oct. 11, 1875; Cora, born July 12, 1875, resides with her parents; Janette, born Nov. 20, 1877, resides with her parents; Bertha, born Aril 13, 1879, resides with her parents; Millard, born Sept. 23, 1882, resides with his parents; James, born Set. 3, 1885. The father was born July 26, 1844; the mother Nov. 15, 1841. Mr. White is a descendant of an old and honorable family that has for many years been looked up to as leaders on account of their sterling worth and strong influence. The subject of this sketch is one of the most popular citizens of Logan co. Besides the business above spoken of, he is engaged in the management of his other valuable estate.

Carter’s Company, captained by Barnett “Barney” Carter, consisted of many Harts Creek men, all of whom enlisted on 27 August 1861 at Logan Court House, Logan County, (West) Virginia. The 129th, including Carter’s Company, participated in the Battle of Boone Court House on 1 September 1861 and the Battle of Kanawha Gap on 25 September 1861.

From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for Dr. Walter L. Tate, who resided at Oceana in Wyoming County, West Virginia:

Of Oceana, Wyoming county, W.Va., is a son of Dr. John M. and Mary Jane (Tate) Tate, of Augusta county, Va. He was born in that county Jan. 8, 1861; graduated at the University of Virginia in 1886, and located in Oceana September, 1889, where he has a lucrative practice, and gives promise of being one of the finest physicians of the times. His ancestors were Scotch-Irish, and came to America among the early settlers; they were some of the original first Virginia families. His father, one of the best physicians in Virginia, resides in Augusta county at Greenville, and is still, after 30 years practice, engaged in his professional work. He graduated at Jefferson Medical College during its most prosperous days. His wife, the mother of the subject of this sketch, is now deceased; she was a daughter of John… [missing page]
