One of the sons, John WILF (my great great great grandfather) migrated to Edgefield, South Carolina where he raised a family. I understand he later left SC and went north to be near one of his brothers (possibly Ohio). One of the sons (my great great grandfather) was WILLIAM JACOB WILF, b. 1810. It is this lineage that I am working with. My father often told me this story and that the original spelling of our name was WELF. That name alone has been a stumbling block because of all the implications (it also served as a political name). Can anyone be of any help to me in this family research? T.

on my grandmother, Elizabetha Dutton, born 2-22-1877 6/25/02 - I am helping my friend try to find her mother. Her name is Donna Lynette Pennington/Goins. Her sister Vickie is also looking, but no one has found her in the four years we have been searching. Dorothy E. Trauber/Traughber lived in an orphanage in Annville, Ky. during her high school years. She married Kenneth O. Pennington, and when they divorced, he took the daughters after Dorothy had remarried. That is what Donna remembers. According to the information we got from him, they lived in Dayton, Ohio when they were divorced & that Dorothy married a man named Smith. We do not know that for a fact, since he has given two different spellings of Dorothy's last name. Donna thinks that her mother & her husband took the girls & moved to Kentucky & that her dad came & took them from her. He tells a different story. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I can be contacted at: acaudill@tls.net Ami Caudill 6/25/02 - Hi, I am looking for info on my husbands grandmother.
