Posted by: Joann Fenil Date: September 12, 1999 at 12:15:38 of 902
Seeking information on all descendants of Henry Persinger who had at least two daughters marry in Botetourt Co. Va. Marriage records show daughter Peggey Persinger maried Jacob Tingler, 3 Aug 1808. I know that they moved to Allegheny county. Their grandchildren may have lived in Hayes Gap there. Another sister, Rebecca, married William Patterson, 27 Mar 1813; she moved to Madison county Ohio and was still alive as of January 1819. Wiliam's daughter, Elizabeth, married a John Persinger 27 Aug 1806 (s/b 1816, cound not have been this William Patterson's daughter unless he had a prior marriage) in Botetourt county. Who was he? William owned land in Rich Patch mountain area from 1791 through 1814.
