The Graham family was founded in America by Hum- GRAHAM phrey Graham, born in Scotland or the north of Ireland, where he grew to maturity, and whence he immigrated to America in the colonial epoch of our national history. He settled on a farm in Pennsylvania and there resided during the remainder of his life. He married, and among his children was John, of whom further. (II) John, son of Humphrey Graliam, was born in Pennsylvania in the eighteenth century. He was a farmer by occupation, and prominent in the public affairs of his home community. He married Elizabeth Buchannan, and they were both devout members of the Presbyterian church. Children: Mary; Jane; Frank; James; William T., of whom further.
(III) William T., son of John and Elizabeth ( Buchannan) Graham, was born in Mercer county, Pennsylvania, in 1825, died in 1891. He was a contractor and builder, and decidedly successful in all his business enterprises. His wife, whose maiden name was Lucy A. Rodgers, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in 1830, daughter of John and Lucy Ann Rodgers, her father being a son of James Rodgers, and her mother a daughter of John Allison. James Rodgers and John Allison were both gallant soldiers in the war of the revolution. Mr. and Mrs. William T. Graham were married in 1849. They were both devout com- municants of the Protestant Episcopal church. Mrs. Graham died in 1895. Children: Hiram R .; Elizabeth J .; William B. ; Gertrude D .; John T., of whom further.
(IV) John T. (christened Jonathan T.), son of William T. and Lucy A. (Rodgers) Graham, was born at Oil City, Venango county, Pennsyl- vania, December 11, 1865. He was educated in the public schools of his native place and also received instruction in the normal schools and under private tutors. In early manhood he decided upon law as his life work and accordingly began the study of that profession in the law office of H. C. Graham, in Oil City, Venango county. He was admitted to the Pennsylvania state bar in Venango county in 1891, and immedi- ately thereafter located in Wayne county, West Virginia, where he was engaged in the general practice of law until 1900. He then came to Huntington, where he has since resided and where he controlled a large and lucrative law practice up to 1912, when he was elected judge of the sixth judicial circuit. In politics he is a Republican. In 1894 he was elected to fill the office of prosecuting attorney of Wayne county, that office having been vacated by the death of the former incumbent. Mr. Graham has gained success and prestige through his own endeavors, and this the more honor is due him for his earnest labors in his exact"" profession and for the precedence he has gained in his chosen vocation. Mr. Graham is financially interested in the American Bank & Trust Com- pany and the American National Bank at Huntington, in hoth of which important institutions he is a member of the board of directors. He was at one time president of the former concern, but withdrew from that office in 1908. In a fraternal way he is a valued and appreciative member of the time-honored Masonic order and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. While not formally connected with any re- ligious organization. Mr. Graham attends and gives his support to the Methodist Episcopal church, of which his wife and son are most zealous members.

The surname Love is derived, according to the best authority
LOVE on British surnames, not from love, but from the word loup (wolf), and appears in the Hundred Rolls, evidently having been a surname from about A. D. 1200. From Loupell is derived Lovell in a similar way. A very ancient Love coat-of-arms is described : Azure a lion rampant argent. Crest : A hand holding an annulet proper. Vari- ous other coats-of-arms of the Love family are described by Burke. The principal seats of this family in England are at Basing. Hampshire ; Norton and Goadhurst, Hampshire and Oxfordshire : Sevenoaks, county Kent : Kirksted, county Norfolk, and at Agnow, county Northampton.
The first American immigrant of the name was in Boston in 1635, but he appears to have left soon. It is not known whether he went back to England or not, but there is evidence that he left descendants in Bos- ton. Thomas Love, of Boston, married. September 23, 1752, Hannah Thurston. John Love, of Boston, died in 1714; another John Love died there in 1756, and a Margaret Love in 1759. Wichie Love died in Bos- ton in 1724. and his son, Qilliam Richie, of Ritchie, had a guardian ap- pointed in 1730 and died in 1758. Robert Love, of Boston, died in 1777. Hezekiah Love, of Taunton, was a juror in the county court at Plymouth in 1650, but no descendants are known.
Before the revolution two of the Boston Love family moved to Meck- lenburg county, Virginia. The date is given in some records as 1674. If this date is correct they were probably sons of the first settler, but possibly grandsons. The names are not known, however.
(II) Charles Love, a descendant of the Boston Love family, was horn in Mecklenburg county. Virginia, probably as early as 1750. He married Susan Chiles, of Childs. With his two sons, William and Daniel and three daughters, he removed to Kanawha county. Virginia, now in West Virginia, in 1805. In 1814 he and his two sons removed to Mud River valley, where they settled and lived the remainder of their lives.

The Fitch family is of very old English stock. The name FITCH was spelled Fytche, Ffytche, Fytch, Ffytch, Ffitch and in various other ways in the early records. The German names Fichts, Ficht and Fecht are presumably of the same origin. One branch of the English family is traced to John Fitch whose son William was liv- ing at Fitch Castle, parish Waddington, in the northwest part of county Essex in the year 1294. Various branches in England bore coats-of- arms. At Hudsell, county Essex, and Eltham and Mt. Maseal, county Kent, the Fitch family bears: Vert a chevron between three leopards" heads or. Crest: A leopard's head cabossed or in the mouth a sword proper hilt gules.
At Windham, Walter, county Essex, the family bears the same arms with a bordure gules and this crest: A leopard passant proper sustain- ing an escutcheon vert charged with a leopard's head or. Another crest : Two swords in saltire gules enfiled with a leopard's head or. At Rams- den, county Essex: Same arms with bordure bezantee.
An old armorial of the family: Vert a chevron between three leop- ards' faces or. Crest: A leopard's face or pierced with a sword in bend sinister proper and pomel of the first. The family at Thorpe Hall. county Lincoln, a branch of the family of Danbury Place and Wood-

lawn, Walter, county Essex, bears same arms as the preceding. Crest : A leopard passant proper, holding an escutcheon vert charged with a leopard's face or. Motto: Spes juvat.
Several of the name came early to New England. Thomas Fitch was of the Fitch family of Essex, mentioned above, and inherited an estate at Braintree in that county. He married, August 8, 1611, Annie Pew or Pugh, and after he died she came to America where two sons were already located. Children : Thomas, settled at Norwalk, Connecticut, one of the wealthiest citizens, from whom in three generations each bear- ing the name of Thomas, descended Governor Thomas Fitch (governor 1754-60) ; Joseph, settled in Norwalk, Northampton, Massachusetts, and Hartford and Windsor, Connecticut; James, born December 24, 1622, at Bocking, county Essex, England, pastor of the church at Saybrook and Norwich, Connecticut.
Many other Fitch families, among them the branch for which the city of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was named, are descended from Zachary Fitch, who came to Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1633, and later settled at South Reading in that colony; was deacon of the church in 1645; selectman. Sons: Benjamin, Joseph, Samuel, Jeremiah, Thomas, John.
According to family tradition the Kentucky family of Fitch is de- scended from the Connecticut or Massachusetts pioneers mentioned above. We are able to locate the family first in North Carolina in the Orange district of Orange county. In 1790 the first federal census shows just two Fitch families in the state, the heads of which were Thomas and William.
(I) James Fitch, son of William or Thomas Fitch, of Orange county, North Carolina, was one of the Kentucky pioneers.
(II) Benjamin, son of James Fitch, was born in Kentucky, where he lived and died. During his active life he was a farmer. He married Olive Burris, also a native of Kentucky. They had nine children : John L .; Lace : Lemuel G., mentioned below ; Martha : Rev. Joseph, presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal church for many years in Kentucky : Malinda : Mary : Nancy ; Elizabeth.
(III) Lemuel G., son of Benjamin Fitch, was born in Kentucky, and is still living in Columbus, Ohio, a retired farmer. He married Anna Trumbo, born at Bath county, Kentucky, daughter of Jacob and Mary Thompson (Northcott) Trumbo. They had three children: 1. Marvin Dulaney, M. D., a physician in Columbus, Ohio ; married Blanche Bunn, of Columbus, and has one child, Gertrude Elizabeth. 2. Sallie Trumbo, married Max Owens, now living in Portsmouth, Ohio, and had one child, Emma Helen Owens. 3. Dr. Frederick A., mentioned below.
(IV) Dr. Frederick A. Fitch, son of Lemuel G. Fitch, was born in Kentucky, September 8. 1872. He received his early education at the Kentucky Wesleyan Academy at Winchester, Kentucky. He was a med- ical student at the George Washington University, Washington, D. C., and afterward an interne at the Emergency Hospital, Washington, D. C. In January, 1907, he began to practice at Huntington. West Virginia, as a physician and surgeon, and he has continued with flattering success to the present time. In 1911 he was elected president of the Cabell County Medical Society and his service in that office increasing the membership and in administering its affairs was so satisfactory that he was given the unusual honor of a re-election in 1912. He is secretary of the Hunting- ton General Hospital, state medical examiner of the general office of the Royal Arcanum, member of the American Medical Association. He is also a member of Cabell Council, Royal Arcanum, of which he has been regent, and of Huntington Lodge, No. 113, Benevolent and Protective
173
WEST VIRGINIA
Order of Elks. Before he entered upon his profession he worked for four years as a mail clerk on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, and while he was a student in Washington he was employed in the Bureau of En- graving and Printing, office of the custodian of the dies, rolls and plates used in printing money. In politics he is an independent Republican.
Dr. Fitch married, November 27, 1895, Bessie, daughter of ex-Con- gressman Samuel J. and Mary (Thomas) Pugh, granddaughter of Judge G. M. Thomas, who was also a congressman from Kentucky and a solici- tor of the internal revenue department during the administration of Pres- ident Mckinley. He was appointed by President Garfield United States District Attorney without solicitation. Mrs. Fitch is a member of the Christian church. Children: 1. Anita Morton, born in Kentucky, Octo- ber 22, 1897. 2. Mary Anola, born in Kentucky, August 5, 1899. 3. Frederick Arthur Jr., born at Washington, D. C., July 27, 1906. 1. Genevieve Pugh, born at Huntington, West Virginia, March 11, 1908.
BARLOW Davis Levi Barlow, of Huntington, president of the Ohio Valley Printing and Stationery Company, has been for many years prominently identified with the educational and financial interests of West Virginia, and has also served his com- munity in the arena of politics. Mr. Barlow comes of old pioneer stock, his ancestors having been for a century and a half resident in Virginia. (I) Alexander Barlow came from England and settled in Bath coun- ty, Virginia. During the revolutionary war he enlisted in the Continental army and was never heard of after the battle of Brandywine, this fact giving rise to the opinion that he was one of those who fell in that famous engagement. Alexander Barlow married, in England, Barbara Rowse, who accompanied him to this country and shared the vicissitudes of his lot.
(II) John, only son of Alexander and Barbara (Rowse) Barlow, was born in Bath county, Virginia. He removed, when a young man, to Poca- hontas county, where he passed the remainder of his life. He purchased of Thomas Brock a piece of land on Red Lick mountain, which he paid for in venison at fifty cents a saddle. There the pioneer founded a home for himself and his descendants. He married, in 1806, Martha Waddell. Their sons were: William, Alexander, James, John, Nathan, Josiah, Henry, mentioned below, Amos, George, Andrew. Their daughters were: Elizabeth, who became the wife of the late William Baxter : Miriam, who became Mrs. Samuel Auldridge; Mary Ann, who married James Auld- ridge ; Ellen, who died at the age of four years ; and an unnamed daugh- ter who died in infancy. John Barlow, the father, died in 1866, on the homestead, leaving to his children not worldly possessions alone, but the richer legacy of an unstained name.
(III) Henry, the seventh son of John and Martha ( Waddell) Bar- low, was born February 21, 1827, on the homestead. For forty years he was a member of the firm of Barlow & Moore, at Edray, West Virginia. This house is still in existence, the name remaining unchanged. While carrying on merchantile business Mr. Barlow operated largely as a farmer and grazier, ably and industriously assisted by his sons. Long before a bank was considered feasible for Pocohontas county he vir- tually performed the services of a banker, and when banks were at last organized he was among the first directors. He was an enthusiast in the cause of public schools and served for years on the Edray board of education. For a long period he was an interested visitor of the Teach- ers' Institutes for Pocahontas county, and would make humorously char- actertistic remarks when speaking of his services as a "Member of the
174
WEST VIRGINIA
Board of Ignorance." Mr. Barlow was for more than half a century a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church, exercising at the same time the greatest liberality of sentiment and action toward those of other denominations. Those who knew him intimately say that dur- ing his whole religious life he was never known to refuse aid to any Christian church in his neighborhood. It has also been said of him that "he was a man who always desired peace, and because he many times aided in making peace between others he was often called a peace- maker."
Mr. Barlow married (first), January 30, 1855, Rachel Cameron, born June 2, 1836, daughter of Elliot Hickman, of Bath county, Virginia, and their children were: Rachel and Evaline, who died in childhood; Alice, who married George K. Gay, of Buckhannon, West Virginia; and John Elliot, a merchant of Edray. Mrs. Barlow died in 1861, and Mr. Barlow married (second) September 22, 1862, Nancy Jane Matilda, born Au- gust 19, 1841, in Pochahontas county, daughter of William and Matilda Cassell. By this marriage Mr. Barlow became the father of the fol- lowing children: Cammie; Amos Neal; William Anderson; Regina Ruth, who married James N. White, of Bridgewater, Virginia; Davis Levi, mentioned below ; Page Dameron, a practising physician of Wheel- ing, West Virginia; Asa Clark; Effie Florence, who married Joel E. Peck; Albert Wickline, died at the age of five years; and an unnamed daughter who died in infancy. The mother of these children died June 20, 1906. The death of Mr. Barlow occurred February 19, 1909, two days before the completion of his eighty-second year. One who knew him well wrote of him: "His life was pure. He spoke no evil word of any one; always gentle, unobtrusive, kind and gracious, a gentleman without a blemish.
(IV) Davis Levi, son of Henry and Nancy Jane Matilda (Cassell) Barlow, was born February 16, 1869, on the old Barlow homestead in Pocahontas county, West Virginia. He received his early education in the common schools of the neighborhood, afterward attending the normal school at Athens, West Virginia, and graduating in 1891. He was then for twelve years a teacher in the schools of his native county, and during the latter half of this period held the office of county super- intendent of schools. After ceasing to act as an instructor he was for a short time engaged in farming and lumbering, and still maintains in-
terests along both these lines. He is the owner of the old Barlow home- stead where his father and grandfather died and where the former was born, and is deeply attached to his ancestral acres, desiring that they should always remain in the possession of the family. In the autumn of 1910 Mr. Barlow came to Huntington, and in January, 1911, he estab- lished his present business on Ninth street, having a fine store with the most complete and modern equipment, the printing department being in the basement. He is a stockholder in the Huntington Banking and Trust Company, and when he first came to Huntington was extensively inter- ested in real estate, now holding considerable property throughout the city. He is a member of the Order of Owls, a fraternal insurance or- ganization. Like his father, Mr. Barlow is an adherent of the Demo- cratic party, and in 1907 represented Pocahontas county in the house of representatives of West Virginia, being also elected for the special ses- sion of 1908. Mr. Barlow's record as an enlightened instructor, an able business man and a wise legislator is in all respects in accord with the traditions of an honorable ancestry.
Mr. Barlow married, June 18, 1895, in Pocahontas county, West Vir- ginia, Lula F., born in that county, December 11, 1872, daughter of A. T.
Daris Li Barlow.

and Mary C. (Gay) Moore. Mrs. Moore died in June, 1900, aged sixty- two, and her husband is now living on his farm at the age of seventy- eight. Mr. and Mrs. Barlow have no children.
This family name was originally Rees and was brought to
RECE
America by David Rees. born about 1689 and coming from Montgomeryshire, Wales, near the English border, prior to
1733. The earliest deed of which there is any record found of David Rees as a land owner, bears date of August 10, 1733, when he bought one hundred acres in Alston's branch in Little Creek Hundred. Delaware. He is known to have lived in Kent county, as did some of his sons. He figured in several land transactions, the last date being February 26. 1752, when he deeded to his son John, one hundred and eighty-eight and a half acres. His purchase amounted to eight hundred and ten and a half acres of which over half were conveyed to sons Thomas and John. He died between the year 1752. the date of his last conveyance, and Feb- ruary 15, 1755, when his widow Mary Rees released her dower rights to sons, Thomas and John. Children : William, Jeremiah, Thomas, John, who were young men at the time of the family emigration. The presump- tion is strong that the Berks county, Pennsylvania, family was founded by a great-grandson of David Rees, the Welsh emigrant. The name is found in Pennsylvania spelled Rees, Reese and Rece ; the latter a more recent form, none of the earliest family using that form. The earliest record of this branch is of Allen Rece, of the fourth generation.
(IV) Allen Rece was born in Berks county, Pennsylvania, 1759, died 1837. He was a wagoner in the continental army and his wife drew a pension until her death. He settled at Bradford, Pennsylvania. He mar- ried, in 1780, Mary Clymer, born in Berks county, Pennsylvania, 1763, died 1858. Children: Joseph, born 1782, married Mary Harmon ; Abia, of whom further ; Sarah, born 1798, married Nathan Everett. In 1791, accompanied by wife and two sons, Allen Rece migrated to the Kanawha Valley, Virginia, where his only daughter Sarah, was born in Teays Val- ley, where he settled in 1797. In 1803 he moved on a farm three and a half miles from Barboursville in Cabell county, now West Virginia, where he died as did his eldest son Joseph.
(V) Abia, second son of Allen Rece, was born in Bradford, Pennsyl- vania, February 15, 1784, died near Milton, West Virginia, 1878. He fol- lowed the family removals in Virginia until manhood, then spent his lat- ter years on his farm near Milton. He married Elizabeth Harmon, sister of the wife of his brother, Joseph Rece. She was born 1785, died Febru- ary, 1861. Children : I. Joseph, died in infancy. 2. Edmund C., of whom further. 3. Harvey, born November, 1811 ; married Rebecca Snodgrass. 4. John M., born October 16, 1813: married (first) Lucretia A. Love, who died 1847; married (second) Miriam Shelton, a sister of the third wife of William A. Love. 5. George W., born 1816, died in 1901 ; mar- ned Virginia Jordan, who died in 1903. 6. John C., born 1819. 7. War- ren P., born 1824; married (first) in 1846, Martha Simmon, who died in 1848: married (second) Elizabeth Handley; married (third) Melvina Bonham, who survives him. 8.
