Site Description:
My Hager Family Website includes a GEDCOM file with over 200,000 related individuals. I
continue to make changes as folks provide information, which validates a different family
connection. It includes mostly the Hager, Cook, Bias, Perry, Toney, Adkins, Browning, Stewart,
Clay, Belcher, Miller, Turner's of Amherst County, VA, and Mangus surnames, but it has many
other related surnames such as Walker, Buchanan, Workman, Barker, Epling, Spurlock, Lovejoy,
Stollings, Elkins, Vance, Cooper, Yeager, Vannatter, Harless, Canterbury, Furgeson, Crabtree,
Brown, Bailey, Toler, Hatfield, McCoy, Fowler, Lowe, Childers, Copley, Marcum, Hill, Dingess,
Farley, Thompson, Hinchman, Ellis, Dempsey, Pridemore, Ballard, Ellis, Ferrell, Pauley and
many others from the Southwestern part of what used to be Virginia and now is Southern West
Virginia. The primary counties are Boone, Lincoln, Cabell, Logan, Wyoming, Raleigh, Mercer,
Wayne, Putnam, Mingo, Monroe, Fayette and Kanawha Counties of West Virginia as well as
Giles, Tazewell and Amherst County, Virginia. Parts of Tazewell County, Virginia formed Giles
County, VA (1806); Logan County, WV (1824); Mercer County, WV (1837); McDowell County,
WV (1858).

I have run into dead ends with William Walker (1797-1883) m. Nancy Browning; Isabel Sharkey
(1785-1869) m. Joseph Perry; Nancy Crabtree (1795-1860s) m. Alexander Buchanan (1797-?);
Joshua Ferguson (1774-1825) m. Rebecca Toney; Sarah Ann Turner (1826-1893) d/o Samuel
Turner of Amherst County, Virginia, m. Rolen S. 'Snuggy' Bias s/o Lindsey 'Nealy' Bias; Jacob
Harley (1700-?) m. Mary Adkins who is reportedly of Royal desent and I resently had someone
send me a message that said he could not have been the Earl of Oxford; and of course Phillip
Hager. Sr. (1735-1807) of Tazewell County, Virginia.
