"John Conaway ..., was born in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, April 7, I795 (on page 81 his birth date is given as 17 April), and died October 16, I868, in this county [Marion County]. He came to Monongalia County with his father's family, but soon afterward removed to Marion county and followed various lines of business, among which were farming, stock-raising and stock-dealing on an extended scale for that day, and also stone-masoning. He was a democrat politically and a man of good judgment and of strict probity, and was frequently called upon by his party and the people of his district to serve them in offices of a political nature. In this connection he served as a constable, overseer of the poor and as justice of the peace. He was a pillar in the Methodist Episcopal church, serving in the capacity of deacon, exhorter and class leader. He was a useful man in the community in which he lived, a man who, by reason of his good judgment, strict integrity of character and kind spirit, was a natural leader among men. He was twice married. His first wife was Sarah, a daughter of Alexander Fleming, a farmer of Fairmont district, and a member of the old and numerous Fleming family of this county... To this union were born five sons and one daughter: Edmund M., deceased, was a farmer of Fairmont district; Colonel Andrew; Nathan P., deceased, was a miller of Barrackville; Grafton S., ...John C., of Harrison county, West Virginia; Lydia Ann, deceased, was the wife of the late Josiah L.
