S/O Jacob & Hannah (Ames) DeGarmo. H/O Sarah Burch Criswell. They were married in about 1842 and had about 12 children. Names tend to overlap, so if anyone can help me correct this, please e-mail me. Stephen Burkham (Burk), Martin Gifford, Sarah, Martha Mary, John W, Rebecca (Becky), George, Zilpha Belle, Francis (Frank?), Mary Mollie, Isaac Newton or Smith, and Edward DeGarmo.
There is a notation that after Martin died in 1876, Jacob Kruser, husband of Zilpha Criswell (probably the sister of Sarah who was deceased) posted $200 bond and was appointed guardian of the following children of "Smith" DeGarmo, deceased: Rebecca (no age), Zilpha Belle (no age), Francis (age 15/16), Isaac Newton (age 11) and Edward (age 9).
**Notes: 1) Martin's death date might read 21 or 24 (21 might be death and 24 might be burial). 2) This cemetery is sometimes called Peter's Run Cemetery as it is located ON Peter's Run Road, about 1/2 mile on the left of the intersection with Route 88 (just North of the Oglebay Resort/Park/Golf complex). 3) Information is also posted on each photo.
