to the Buckhannon area, building his house on the banks of the river
about a mile south of the present city limits."He applied for a
marriage license at Weston, Lewis County, but since he spoke English

[Susan Snyder's note about the preceeding
information: There is confusion in the 5th blue paragraph above: Edward,
Henry's son, did marry Jemima Reger. But, it was Henry's and Eleanor's grandson, Henry, that married
Alma Payne.]
