    I checked my copy of Mary Magdalene Whistleman's obit and found that
    she died 02 Feb 1966 at 3:30 a.m. at her home, following an illness of
    three months. She had been seriously ill for three days before her passing.
    She was the widow of George William Botkin, they were married in 1884
    and had 11 children, the youngest being my grandfather. I have the info on
    their other children, too, if needed. I think I sent the Botkin info
    to you at one time, didn't I?....getting old, memory doesn't always work the
    way it once did!!
  3. [S1050] David Whistleman [e-mail address], email to John Teets, 8/4/2007, Re: http://johnteets.com (index.htm)
    Yes, that's the same family. There are several John Whistleman's, but none with a birthdate that is close to this John. I've been to the cemetery where John and Susan are buried, it's on my cousin's farm, which originally contained John's farm, near McDowell. We used to have family reunions near there. The George who is listed ended up with the farm, and was killed by a horse on the farm. The Mary M. listed, lived to be quite elderly, (D 02 Feb 1955). and the main reason for the uncertainty is that she was specific that her mother's maiden name was Todd. Erma list's her on your site as having died young, which is not correct. With your permission I would like to forward your email to another cousin who is working this line also. Hopefully it can get worked out. Makes things interesting. Thanks for all your assistance.

    David.

    MARRIAGES IN HIGHLAND COUNTY
    In Civil War Days, When Couples From Pendleton County Went to Virginia To Marry

    During the War between the States and for a year or two subsequent thereto, Highland County, Virginia, was a sort of Gretna Green for such persons in Pendleton County as desired to forsake the paths of single blessedness and take upon themselves the yoke and burden of matrimony under the perennial misconception that the yoke is easy and the burden light.
    This was probably due to the fact that the county government in Pendleton sometimes functioned somewhat imperfectly on account of the chaotic condition of the county consequent upon civil war.
    On a recent trip to Monterey, the writer took it upon himself to make search of the records and list the marriages which should logically have taken place in Pendleton. The names of the contracting parties, the date of marriage and the name of the officiating minister are given in each instance. It is hoped that the County court of this county will take the necessary steps to have these marriages records copied and certified in full by the proper authority and recorded in Pendleton county, where they rightfully belong.

    After the lapse of some years, the rumor was started that these Highland county marriages were illegal, because of the licenses therefor having been procured in a county and state other than the legal domicile of the contracting parties. The rumor came to one person who had not found the matrimonial yoke easy and the burden light, and he quietly remarked that if it turned out they were really not legal marriages, he was going to try to get a better wife next time.
    Now, a word about these marrying parsons of more than three score years ago:
    Saul B. Dolly was a Methodist minister, a native of Pendleton county, and in the ministerial service in is native county at the time. He had married in Highland county and for a portion of the time made his home there.
    George W. Rexrode was a local United Brethren preacher, who was active in ante-bellum and post-bellum days on East Dry Run and North Dry Run, as well as lower down on the North Fork.
    John S. Pullin was a zealous local Methodist preacher in eastern Highland county, noted for conducting religious revival meetings.
    William T. Price was a Presbyterian preacher in charge of the work of that church in Pendleton county, the father of Any Price, of Marlington, whom everyone knows.
    Daniel Thomas and George Wine were local preachers of the Dunkard church from Rockingham county, Virgina.

    MARRIAGES IN HIGHLAND COUNTY
    In Civil War Days, When Couples From Pendleton County Went to Virginia To Marry

    During the War between the States and for a year or two subsequent thereto, Highland County, Virginia, was a sort of Gretna Green for such persons in Pendleton County as desired to forsake the paths of single blessedness and take upon themselves the yoke and burden of matrimony under the perennial misconception that the yoke is easy and the burden light.
    This was probably due to the fact that the county government in Pendleton sometimes functioned somewhat imperfectly on account of the chaotic condition of the county consequent upon civil war.
    On a recent trip to Monterey, the writer took it upon himself to make search of the records and list the marriages which should logically have taken place in Pendleton. The names of the contracting parties, the date of marriage and the name of the officiating minister are given in each instance. It is hoped that the County court of this county will take the necessary steps to have these marriages records copied and certified in full by the proper authority and recorded in Pendleton county, where they rightfully belong.
