Seymour, my Great Grandfather, died when he was 39 years old. I've always heard that after that his wife, Mary Ours Weatherholt(z) married a guy named (Harry) Lakel, and kept Madaline (the baby), and placed the her children in various homes. Ose (Otis) lived some with Sara Belle Kessel Weatherholtz in Frosty Hollow, WV. I saw in a census, maybe the 1940, that Doris Jacob, one of their children, lived with a family in Cumberland, Md., and was working in a factory as a knitter. I need to do more research on this family, but this may help others in connecting the dots, since they dispersed. Freddie may be referring to my Great Aunt Freda. I was also surprised to see that his headstone did not have a "z" on the end of Weatherholt, and I think documents referring to him usually have a "z". I'm not sure when the "z" disappeared on my side of this lineage, but it appeared two or three generations after Captain John Nicholaus Weatherholt/Wetterholt/Wetterhold (are the more usual spellings of his name) arrived in America with his brother John Jacob Weatherholt/Wetterholt/Wettherhold (who was first a Lt. before being prompted to the rank of Captain). The "z" lasted for three or four generations, and then disappeared from some but not others. Interestingly, Gary Weatherholt in his book about John Jacob Weatherholt does not have a "z" either. Gary Weatherholt wrote a book about the 'Descendants of John Jacob Weatherholt' (the Providential Army Captain, who with his brother, commanded forces along the Blue Mountains in Pennsylvania, and in Fort Everett and a couple of the other forts built by Benjamin Franklin. Do an online search for Forts Along the Blue Ridge Mountains of their names).
