(I) The American branch of the famous Luttrell family traces its descent from Robert (2) Luttrell, of the Irish line ( see generation VII) who married his cousin Anne, daughter of Viscount Gormanston, and came to America in the early part of the eighteenth century, and settled in Prince William county, Virginia. He had a large family including three sons : Simon. Thomas. Richard. Simon's descendants live in Kentucky where one, Lucien Simon Luttrell, died quite recently. Thomas died while in search of health in Jamaica, where his cousin, Henry Lawes Luttrell (see Irish branch of Luttrell family IX), had acquired lands from his mother.
(II) Richard, son of Robert (2) Luttrell, lived in Fauquier county, Virginia, near Prince William county. He married a Miss Churchill and had a son. Richard.
(III) Richard (2), son of Richard (1) and -- (Churchill) Lut- trell, was commissioned an ensign from the county of Fauquier by Thomas Jefferson at the time of the American revolution. The rank of

ensign is what is known as lieutenant at present. This commission is still in the possession of the family. He married Frances Hambleton and had a son, Burrell.
(IV) Burrell, son of Richard (2) and Frances (Hambleton) Lut- trell, married Hannah, daughter of Harmon Button, ancestor of the late Governor Fishbeck, of Arkansas, and had a son, Richard.
(V) Richard (3), son of Burrell and Hannah (Button) Luttrell, mar- ried Elizabeth Bywaters, of Culpeper county, Virginia. He was a great fox-hunter and always owned a large pack of hounds. His wife died when very young, and he being left alone devoted a great portion of his time to hunting. So much was he known for this favorite sport that he became familiarly known as "Dick Luttrell, the fox hunter." It was his custom during the hunting season to rise early and rouse the neigh- bors to join him in the chase. After the day's sport they would return to his house where he was accustomed to dispense the lavish southern hos- pitality of ante bellum times in Virginia. He had a son, Burrell Edmund. (VI) Burrell Edmund, son of Richard (3) and Elizabeth (Bywaters) Luttrell, was a soldier during the civil war, and served a great portion of the time as courier for General J. E. B. Stuart and for General Beau- regard. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Strasburg and kept in prison until about the close of the war. He married Mary Ritchie, daughter of James Richard Nelson, of Culpeper county, Virginia, and there were born to them the following children: 1. Capitola, married John S. Hughes, of Rappahannock county, Virginia. 2. Richard Edmund, married Ada, daughter of James Browning, of Rappahannock county, Virginia. 3. Hugh, married Atlanta, daughter of Albert Sin- gleton; owner of Ivanhoe, the old home of Captain Lewis Marshall in Fauquier county, Virginia. 4. Frank, unmarried, lives with his father at the old home the deed for which, signed on parchment in 1762, by Lord Fairfax, is still in the possession of the family. 5. Charles, died unmar- ried at the age of twenty-four. 6. Warren, died a missionary in India. 7. Russell, married Edna, daughter of James Clarke, of Ashley, Indiana, and now in the general insurance business in Oklahoma City. 8. John A., of whom further.
(VII) John A., son of Burrell Edmund and Mary Ritchie ( Nelson) Luttrell, was born in eastern Virginia. At the age of fifteen he entered Rappahannock Academy, in Rappahannock county, Virginia, and took there a two years course. Deciding then to go into a business life he en- tered in January, 1897, the Bryant & Stratton Business College in Balti- more and after finishing the full course there he went to work as a part- ner to his cousin, George M. Whitescarver, Esq., in Grafton, West Vir- ginia, the business being that of general insurance, and under the firm name of G. M. Whitescarver & Company. He remained in this connec- tion until November, 1899, when on account of his father's illness he returned to his home in Virginia, having sold out his business interests in Grafton. He remained in Virginia until January, 1901. when he re- turned to Grafton as clerk in the offices of F. A. Husted, superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He left this position in April of that year to accept one with the Southern Coal & Transportation Com- pany, at Berryburg, in Barbour county, West Virginia. This he left in June of the same year to take the position of private secretary to J. I. Jones, secretary of the Weaver Coal & Coke Company, at Belington, West Virginia. He remained there until August of that year when he accepted a position as general accountant of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie railroad, and afterwards changed to the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville railroad, at Richmond, Indiana. After being there for about fifteen months he returned to Belington, and re-assumed his former posi-

tion which he held until John W. Gates absorbed the interest of the Weaver Coal & Coke Company. In March, 1905, he sold his interest to Mr. Rector in their agencies at Belington, Philippi and Grafton, and came to Parkersburg to accept a position in the insurance department of the Citizens' Trust & Guaranty Company, leaving them in October, 1905, to purchase a half interest in the old established insurance agency owned by the late William Doremus Paden. The name of this business was changed to Paden & Luttrell. and this name again changed, January, 19II, after the death of Mr. Paden, to Paden & Luttrell Insurance Agency, of which concern Mr. Luttrell became president and general manager. Mr. Luttrell is a member of the Elks, of the Young Men's Christian Association, of the Knights of Pythias, of the Modern Wood- men of America, and of the Country Club.
Mr. Luttrell married Virginia, daughter of Judge Kinnaird Snod- grass, and granddaughter of Hon. John F. Snodgrass, who represented the Parkersburg district in congress in 1853 before the separation from Virginia. He had one child named for his mother, Mary Ritchie Nelson, who died in October, 1906, when nine days old. Another child, John Augustine Adams, was born February 12, 1913.

"Lodge's Peerage of Ireland," "Macaulay's History of England," "Dugdale's Baronage." and from num- erous manuscripts in the British Museum, and in Trinity College, Dub- lin, Ireland. The sources of the information as to the American branch have been deeds, commissions and family records.
Theodore Morlang, the founder of this family, was MORLANG born in Germany. Coming to the United States, he settled at Parkersburg. West Virginia. He married Annetta Nelly. Children : George, deceased, married Meta Pahl ; Theo- dore, of whom further ; Henry : Elizabeth, married Joseph Butcher ; Min- nie ; Augusta, married H. G. Albright.
(II) Theodore (2). son of Theodore (I) and Annetta (Nelly) Morlang, was born at Mengeringhausen. Germany, December 19, 1855, died May 7. 1909. He was only fifteen years old when he came with his brother to Parkersburg. West Virginia, where he made his home with his uncle. Christian Nelly. Later he went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and there he learned the business of a baker. Coming back to Parkersburg. after he had learned his trade, being then only eighteen years old, he entered into business on his own account as a baker, but he was in this business only about four years, selling it in 1877. He then went to Pomeroy, Ohio, where he remained three years, and where he was en- gaged in the same line of business as that which he had been previously following at Parkersburg. After this he returned to Parkersburg and was engaged for eight years in the business of a grocer. At that time the business heart of Parkersburg was its southern part ; here, near the Little Kanawha river, the stores were gathered together. Mr. Morlang had his store on Market street, in this section, and near where the old bridge, since carried away by a flood and not rebuilt, nor replaced at the same site, crossed over the Little Kanawha river. He was success- ful in this enterprise. Mr. Morlang was never an ostentatious man. but he was in a high degree energetic. industrious and thrifty, and these qualities made him prosper in business, and made him hold a solid posi- tion among the representative business men of his city. After eight years he sold his grocery business and moved further north on Market

street, in the direction in which retail business at Parkersburg has moved and widely extended itself. In his new store he returned to his old trade of baking, and he dealt also in confectionery. He continued in this business until his retirement from commercial activity. Late in his life he made a short trip back to the home of his infancy in Germany. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, at Parkers- burg. In religion Mr. Morlang was a Lutheran and a member of the congregation of that denomination at Parkersburg.
He married, January 13, 1878, Bertha, born at Lubeck, Wood county, Virginia, February 22, 1858, daughter of Frederick and Christina (Oderwahn) Pahl. Mrs. Morlang is now living at Parkersburg. Both her father and her mother were born at Mecklenburg, Germany. They married in Germany, in 1850, and two years after their marriage they came to the United States. About the year 1854 they settled at Lubeck, a German settlement about five miles south of Parkersburg, and there Frederick Pahl died March 2, 1863; his widow, having survived him nearly fifty years, died December 22, 1910. Of the children of Fred- erick and Christina (Oderwahn) Pahl, the oldest was born at Mecklen- burg, Germany, but the others were born in the United States.

BURGESS Fleming C. Burgess was born in Virginia and was one of the old pioneer farmers in Kanawha county, West Virginia, where he passed the closing years of his life and where his death occurred in the year 1883. He was of English an- cestry, the founder of the Burgess family in America having settled in Virginia in an early day. He married Adelia Woods, who died in 1865.
(II) James W., son of Fleming C. Burgess, was born in Kanawha county, West Virginia. He was reared to maturity on his father's farm and in due time became a farmer himself. He died in 1905 and his cher- ished and devoted wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Harmon, sur- vives him and now maintains her home at Huntington. West Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Burgess had two children : Dr. William Henry, mentioned below ; Dr. Thomas D., who is engaged in the work of his profession at Louisa, Kentucky.
(III) Dr. William Henry Burgess, son of James W. and Elizabeth (Harmon) Burgess, was born in Kanawha county, West Virginia, Sep- tember 16, 1867. He passed his early life on the old homestead farm, and received his rudimentary educational training in the neighboring dis- trict schools. Subsequently he attended the graded school at St. Alban, and as a young man he began to do railroad work in order to obtain money for a medical course. He began firing on the Chesapeake & Ohio. railroad in September, 1888, and in due time became an engineer. He filled the position of engineer on the above road until 1904, when he was matriculated as a student in the Louisville Medical College, at Louisville, Kentucky, in which well ordered institution he was graduated as a mem- ber of the class of 1907, duly receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine.

475
WEST VIRGINIA
he was associated in medical work with his brother, Dr. Thomas D. Bur- gess. For two years Dr. Burgess was a resident of Matewan and in 1909 he came to Williamson, where he conducts an individual practice. Dr. Burgess makes a specialty of the diseases of the throat, nose and eyes and is considered an expert in this particular line of work. He is a man of most generous impulses and is always ready to relieve the worthy distressed and needy who come to him for medical aid. His quiet and unselfish manner fully characterizes his pure christian spirit and innate kindliness of heart, traits which make him decidedly popular with all classes of people. Dr. Burgess is a valued and appreciative member of the West Virginia State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He still retains his membership in the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers and Firemen, and in the Scottish Rite branch of Masonry has reached the thirty-second degree. He is a Republican in politics, and his religious faith is in harmony with the tenets of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Mrs. Burgess is a daughter of Francis Byars, who was a prominent stock-farmer in Shelby county, Kentucky, during his lifetime, and who died about the year 1892. Dr. and Mrs. Burgess have no children.
This name, common in many or all parts of the United BROWN States, and which has been borne by many persons of distinction, is not the exclusive possession of one family, but is the common surname of a large number of distinct families. The present family is of Scotch origin.

WILSON This name is very common in all parts of the United States. While just at the present time it has strong claims to be the best known name in the whole country, there have been many Wilsons of high distinction before President Woodrow Wilson. Not only the number of individuals, but the number of distinct families, bearing this surname in the United States of Ameri- ca is very great. Probably England has been the main source of families of this name in our country, but the present family is of Scotch origin.
(I) Wilson, the first member of this family of whom we have definite information, was born in Lewis county, Virginia, in 1810, and died in 1860. He was a farmer, but later was engaged in the business of con- tracting. He married Lucy Vincent. Children : James E., died Janu- ary 2, 1910: Flavius Kase, of whom further ; Otis Newton, Emma Mal- vina. Henrietta, John Franklin.
( II) Flavius Kase, son of - and Lucy (Vincent) Wilson, was born in Lewis county, Virginia, July 23, 1837. His education was re- ceived in the subscription schools. He went to work on the Parkersburg branch of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and in 1852 he helped in the grading of this road. Two years later he moved to Fairmont and the next year to Grafton ; and in June. 1856, he helped to lay the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He was a brakeman on this road in 1857, and the following year he was made conductor, which position he held until April 1, 1861. On that date he enlisted in the Union army as a member of Company F. First Virginia Cavalry, and he was promoted to corporal. Being honorably discharged July 28, 1865, the war being over, he returned to his home. For ten months he was a fireman on the Balti- more & Ohio railroad, and then was appointed to a position as engineer,

and had charge of one of the water stations. In 1871 he went back to firing, and continued in this work until November, 1872. Being then promoted to engineer, he held this position to the time of his retirement from the service of the road, April 5, 1909. His home is now at Park- ersburg, where he is living retired. He is a charter member of Hope Lodge, No. 10, Knights of Pythias, Parkersburg, and of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

After this he accepted a position as fireman on the Ohio river division, and remained in this three years. In 1903 he bought his present business of dealing in furniture and undertaking. He is a mem- ber of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman ; Mr. Wilson has not married.
WHITE This name, of so frequent occurrence in the United States today, must have been relatively common from early times, for it has been brought to this country by many immigrant settlers, in New England and other parts of the nation. A list of bearers of this name who have graced it by distinction in religion, politics, law and learning would be a long one; merely as illustrating these spheres of accomplishment may be named Bishop White, one of the founders of the Protestant Episcopal church; Chief Justice White, of the supreme court of the United States : Andrew D. White, former president of Cor- nell and an able diplomat. In the recent history of the family now under consideration there is record of unusual distinction in the educational field, and Ex-Governor White, of Parkersburg, West Virginia, has taken a part in the development of this state, made a permanent impress on its character, and is a leading business man of Parkersburg, having im- portant outside interests also.
(I) Thomas White, the founder of this family, a great-grandson of Thomas White, of the Long Parliament, was born in England in 1599, died in 1679. By 1632 he was a settler in Weymouth, Massachu- setts. He was a lawyer of distinction, served as a member of the gen- eral court and as selectman of Weymouth, and was captain of a mili- tary company.
(II) Joseph, son of Thomas White, was born in Weymouth in 1635, died at Mendon, Massachusetts, in 1706. He was known as Captain Jo- seph White. In 1662 he moved to Mendon, and after the destruction of Mendon by the Indians in 1676 returned to Weymouth.
(III) Thomas (2), son of Joseph White, was born in Mendon in 1665.
478

(IV ) Samuel, son of Thomas ( 2) White, was born at Uxbridge, Massachusetts, in 1700. He was known as "Deacon" White and was a property owner at Douglass, Massachusetts.
(V) Captain Paul White, son of Samuel White, was born at Ux- bridge in 1744, died at Douglass, Massachusetts, in 1796.
(VI) Calvin, son of Captain Paul White, was born at Douglass, Massachusetts, August 30, 1771, died August 31, 1838. He was reared at Sutton, Massachusetts, and about 1800 moved to Ware, Massachu- setts. He was a citizen of influence and accumulated what in those days was considered a large property.
(VII) Jonas, son of Calvin White, was born at Sutton, Massachu- setts, November 18, 1795, died at Mantua, Portage county, Ohio, Au- gust 29, 1876. He was a farmer. He married, at Wilbraham, Massa- chusetts, February 19, 1819, Sarah, daughter of Lemuel and Phoebe (Bishop) McGregory, who survived him, dying at Mantua, Ohio, Janu- ary 28, 1878.
(VIII) Dr. Emerson Elbridge White, son of Jonas and Sarah (Mc Gregory) White, was born at Mantua, Ohio, January 10, 1829, died at Columbus, Ohio, October 21, 1902. Until he was sixteen years old he attended common schools. At the age of seventeen he entered Twins- burg Academy. After one year he had charge of Mount Union Acad- emy, now Mount Union College. In 1848 he entered Cleveland Univer- sity, but before graduation he was teaching in the grammar schools of Cleveland, also in the university. He left in his senior year to become principal of a grammar school in Cleveland and remained four years. Later he was made principal of the Central high school in Cleveland, and from 1856 to 1860 he was superintendent of the public schools of Portsmouth, Ohio. In 1861 he moved to Columbus and bought the Ohio Educational Monthly, which was conducted by him for fifteen years, and became under his management the foremost paper of its kind in the country. From 1870 to 1876 he published in connection with this the National Teacher. Meanwhile he was actively engaged in teaching also. In 1863 he was appointed state commissioner of the common schools, and during his three years' tenure of this office he was instrumental in securing the laws establishing the existing institute system of Ohio, cre- ating the state board of examiners, and requiring all teachers to possess an adequate knowledge of pedagogical theory and practice. Western Reserve and Marietta colleges conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. In 1876 he became president of Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, and in the same year he received the degree of Doctor of Laws both from Marietta and from the State University of Indiana. Dr. White was president of Purdue for seven years, and during this time the attendance increased more than seven fold. He resigned in 1883, and went to Cincinnati, Ohio, to enter into literary work. In 1886 he was appointed superintendent of the public schools of Cincinnati, and he served for two terms. He returned, in 1891, to Columbus, Ohio, and there his last years were spent, engaged in literary labors. Dr. White stood high as a writer on education. "White's Arithmetic" is a house- hold name among those now in middle life, and he was the author of many other text books. Among his notable works were: An edition of the school law, prepared and codified by him in 1865, with opinions and directions, as a manual for school officers; "Elements of Pedagogy" (1886) ; "School Management" (1893) ; "Art of Teaching" (1902). Sev- eral of his papers were published and widely distributed by the United States Bureau of Education. He was often styled "the grand old man" of the educational profession. Scholarly, accurate in speech and writing, a man of philosophical force, professional devotion and experience, he
