My ancestor, Silas Fannin, with part of his family seemingly disappeared from their home in Butler District, Wayne County, West Virginia about 1887 (according to available public records). From Census information and death certificates of a couple of children of Silas, he was born in Kentucky about 1822. The first public record that I have for him was the 1842 Lawrence County, Kentucky Tax List. His wife was Mary “Polly” (Ferguson) Fannin.
Peter and Marinda A. Fannin, William and Eunice Fannin, John J. and Lydia A. Fannin, John and Cyntha A. Fannin, Henry M. and Mary Fannin with his parents, Francis M. and Finette Fannin, and Travis and Nancy Fannin lived in Elk fork, Morgan County in 1880.
Apparently George and Mary Fannin, Henry’s parents were born in Virginia to Virginia-born parents and moved to Kentucky. George reported being born about 1804 in Virginia. Also William Fannin was born about 1826 in Virginia to Virginia-born parents.
Worth and Elizabeth Fannin, John C. and Hanah Fannin, and Henry and Pelinia Fannin had homes at West Liberty in 1880. All were born in Kentucky.
I’m asking that anyone who has done Fannin research or has an interest in Fannin or the place they lived, please check your records for a clue about Silas Fannin after 1887. I have tried to find information on his final years, date of death, and where buried for about thirty years now. If you find any references to Fannin in the 1820-1900 period in an early Morgan county history, I am interested. You may post any leads here or email me at rhsayre@excite.com. Thank you.
