From David Macdonald - twin of Isaac Jacob.
from Charles Evans Wolverton:
"From Grace Yoke White: Note, from the compiler; the following, is
a copy of a very old letter, not dated, from
the "Wolverton Tree", by Cynthia Ann Wolverton, daughter of Joel
Wolverton. The letter with its incorporated history and genealogy is
very interesting, and, although, it may be some what repetitious, at
this stage of the "history" it shall be included in its entirety,"
"I visited the Wolverton Home on Straight Creek, before 1888
(Grace Yoke White, is now speaking) Grandad Eliza Wolverton and
Mother, Helen Ann Yoke, were with me - I must have been, two or
three years old - I was the baby and Roy Yoke was a little boy."
"Joel Wolverton was Miss Minerva's Great Grandfather; her Grandfather
was Joab Wolverton, his father's name was Joel... this Joel
had a brother named Uriah, Uriah served in the war of 1812; fought
at the battle of Tippecanoe; and was the oldest son. Miss Minerva's
Grandfather was born in 1800."
"From Miss Minerva's letter: "I learned from my grandfather, Joab
Wolverton, who used to tell me that his Grandfather, or Great Grandfather
(here, it is supposed that Charles I, is being spoken of)
came from England, in a time of Religious Persecution, I do not know,
just where they settled, at the time; but, I suppose, in Virginia,
as my Great Grandfather, Joab Wolverton, was raised in Hampshire
County, near Romney. His mother was a Dutch woman, by the name of
Ganoe, Grandfather's Father's name was Joel Wolverton, Grandfather
had five brothers: Uriah, James, David, George, Joel; and one sister,
Naoma, Joel went to Missouri, Carroll County; Joab was married
in 1825, Nov. 17, and he had four sons and one daughter; Benjamine,
James, Martin, Elisha, and Cynthia Ann. They all lived on Leading
Creek, during the Civil War; all except Uncle James - I do not know,
whether he died or not. They all lived in Calhoun County, after
leaving Leading Creek."... "This family
(Wolverton) had ordained Ministers, Baptist, in their midst; the
church was called Union, in Taylor County, on Nov. 17, 1844, the
Grandfather of Miss Minerva Wolverton, was ordained. Miss Minerva's
Grandfather, Joab Wolverton was born May 13, 1800 and died May 20,
1879, (This would appear to be, again, Grace Yoke White speaking),.,.
Miss. Minerva's Grandfather (Joab) was apprenticed to a man named
Ball, in Romney; by him he learned the hatter's trade - he then went
to Winchester, Virginia, and worked there for five years. He was
called a Journeyman Hatter, because he traveled in different states;
he worked in Wilmington, Del,, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington,
D.C, Baltimore, Md,, Indiana, and Ohio. After he quit the hatter's
trade, he carried the mail from Romney to Clarksburg, on horse-back;
this was in the year 1824-25 - he went through, by way of, Kingwood,
Preston County. While on this route, he met my Grandmother, Catherine
Bartlett; her father's house was a stopping place (for travelers).
Thomas Bartlett (the father of Catherine) was a wealthy farmer, living
near Kingwood, and owning a number of acres of land - he kept
entertainment, for travelers, at that time; they got acquainted and
were married Nov. 17, 1825. They had four sons and one daughter (as
listed above),"
