From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for Hon. William E. Justice, who resided at North Spring, West Virginia:

Son of James and Jennie (Hatfield) Justice, was born May 16, 1849, in Logan county, W.Va., a worthy representative of a family which has long been seated in this section.

William E., the subject of this sketch, is one of fourteen children, twelve of whom are living. March 24, 1870, he married Laura S., daughter of Jacob and Linda (Chambers) Cook, long and honored residents of this section. Her father was born in Giles county, Va., May 21, 1814, and her mother in Monroe county, W.Va., on July 19, 1819.

From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for Henderson Grimmit, who resided at Man, West Virginia:

Was born in Logan county, W.Va., Jan. 28, 1854. His wife, Nancy (Hatfield) Grimmit, was born in Wyoming county Nov. 18, 1854; they were married Nov. 25, 1873, in Wyoming county, and have had four children, all of whom now live with their parents; Sanford, born April 15, 1875; Lillie B., born May 16, 1882; Rosa M., born Sept. 22, 1887; Etta Lee, born May 1, 1889. They are all intelligent, amiable children.
