I am participating in Amy Johnson Crow's 52 ancestors in 52 weeks. This week's topic was possibilities.
What is the likelihood that 2 Noah Liston's are both related to me and buried in the same cemetery,
Mount Moriah Cemetery, Valley Point, Preston County, West Virginia. Secondly their deaths and births are a year apart. Ah, the possibilities. It gets better they both married women who go by Elizabeth even though Noah E's wife's name was Mary Elizabeth. I was researching Noah Z Liston, but I kept getting a lot of Noah E Liston's info mixed in on Ancestry So, I did a dry erase board to get things sorted out. I did not realize at first that I was related to Noah E Liston.
Their common ancestor is John Jackson Liston Sr. He is my maternal 4th Great Grandfather. Noah Z and Noah E's fathers are brothers. Both Noah's were farmers and live in the same county. Evidently are also buried in the same cemetery.
I know the pain of having multiple people in your 6th grade class named Heather. I was one of 6 Heather's
