[Pictured on the left is a photo of my Grand Aunt Reuhama "Hami" Gwin Eckard.]

Do you have any SIMMONS and ECKARDs out there with ancestors settling in the Highland, Virginia area in the 18th & 19th century?

We find our GWINs marrying into the ECKARDs and the ECKARDs into the SIMMONS. We find Claude ECKARD (1884-1937) married Linnie M. SIMMONS, born 6 Jun 1884, in West Virgnia, Died Jan 1975, in Harrisonburg, Harrisonburg City, Virginia. I believe that Claude Eckard was a nephew of my Grand Aunt, Reuhama "Hami" (GWIN) ECKARD (1857-1921).

Linnie Simmons & Claude Eckard were married 24 Dec 1913, Pendleton, West Virginia. Their children were: Raymond Kenneth (1917-1990), Ruth (1921-), Richard (1922-), Dorothy (1924-).

Linnie M. Simmons' parents were Eligah (1861-) & Barbara M Simmons (1863-). Their children were Linnie M. (1884-1975), Lon (1888-), Elva J (1893-), and Nettie L (1896-).

Reuhama "Hami" Gwin

I love the name Reuhama. Reuhama "Hami" Gwin (1857-1921). Hami was married 24 May 1877, in county court, Highland, Virginia to Job E. Eckard (1847-1911). Reuhama Gwin was the second child, oldest daughter of my 2nd Great Grandparents, Samuel & Eleanor Ellen (DEVER) GWIN. Sam & Ellen's children were Walter P. (1856-), Reuhama (1857-1921) and Signora Belle GWIN (1860-1934).

Great Grandma Signora Belle GWIN was married 16 Jan 1882, Harpers Ferry, Jefferson, West Virginia, to John Robert Warwick (1857-1937). Signora & J. R. Warwick had three children: Constance Estella (1882-1968), Robert Lee (1887-1952) and Wilbur William (1895-1896). Constance and Robert were both born in Monterey, Virginia, while Wilbur William was born in Oklahoma Territory and died in Oklahoma Territory.

Signora and J. R. Warwick showed up in the 1870 census in Monterey, Highland, Virginia. After 1884 (sometime before or around 1893), I find no records of J. R. & Signora Warwick in the census until 1900 (Oklahoma Territory). I know from J. R.'s obituary that he was teaching in Coldwater, Kansas just before the 1893 Run in Oklahoma Territory. I know that J. R. Warwick had a couple of brothers, Peter Hull Warwick and Wm. N. Warwick that may have come West into Kansas between 1884-1893. Pete and his wife and two daughters lived up in Kansas while J. R. & Sigga Warwick were residing in NW Oklahoma, near Alva. There may have been some other WARWICKk / GWIN / ECKARD relatives that migrated to Cherokee, Oklahoma to settled.

I would love to know more about J. R. & Signora (Gwin) Warwick's whereabouts between January, 1884 thru 1887 and 1893, before they settled in NW Oklahoma Territory.

I will NOT . . . submit, rollover, comply, sit down and shut up when I see an injustice! Let's Move FORWARD with Solutions, Equality for ALL!"

Good Night & Good Luck searching your family ancestry!   |  View or Add Comments (3 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
