MELINDA VIOLINDA "VERLINDA" CARRICO WOTRING was born 12 May 1777 in MD. However, In the 1850 US Census when you look at the original handwritten form, her name is clearly written as VIOLINDA; however, her son, William C. Wotring, provided the name of VERLINDA for her West Virginia Death Record together with the information that she was born in West Virginia in Prince George; however, the 1850 Census clearly shows she was born in Maryland. The attached Death Certificate is a transcription without the possibility of viewing the original handwritten documentation.

She married DANIEL WOTRING son of John Abraham Wotring and Mary Margaret Troxell in 1796 in Carmel, Texas Settlement, Mt. Carmel, Virginia (now Aurora, Preston County, West Virginia).
Her husband, Daniel Wotring, is dead by the time the census was taken in 1850 and she is living with her son, William C. Wotring and his family.

Violinda Wotring 73 { William Wotring's mother}
Her marriage to Daniel Wotring was blessed with the following children (there may be other children not listed here):
1.) JOHN CARRICO WOTRING, b. August 10, 1797, Monongalia Co., Virginia(now WV); d. February 02, 1878, Aurora, Preston Co., West Virginia.
2.) CATHARINE WOTRING, b. February 13, 1799, Mt. Carmel,(now Aurora, Preston Co., WV); d. June 04, 1890, Whetsell Settlement, Preston, West Virginia; m. HENRY FELTON; b. 1800; d. 1864, Preston Co., West Virginia. both buried in the Felton Cemetery, Whetsell Settlement, Kingwood, WV
3.) SUSANNA WOTRING, b. November 28, 1802, Mt. Carmel, German Settlement, Aurora, Preston Co.,Virginia (now WV); dod Unknown.
4.) ABRAHAM D. WOTRING, b.27 Oct 1804, d. 13 Jun 1891(Age at death on 13 Jun 1891 was - "Aged 86 years 2 months 18 days" Therefore, the Birthdate Calculated would be March 26, 1805)His death location is being verified at this time 1 May 2019 is thought to be Winchester, Frederick Co., VA. buried at Texas Cemetery, Horse Shoe Run, Preston Co, WV.
5.) WILLIAM C. WOTRING, b. May 19, 1807, Carmel, Mt. Carmel, German Settlement, Union,Virginia (now Aurora, Preston Co.,WV); d. 1880.
6.) DANIEL C. WOTRING, b. April 07, 1810, Rowlesburg, Preston Co., VA; d. August 29, 1897, Texas Settlement, Aurora, Preston Co.,WV. Buried at Texas Cemetery, Horse Shoe Run, Preston Co, WV.
7.) ELIZABETH ANN WOTRING,(Ann Eliza) b. April 02, 1814, Monongalia, Virginia,; d. March 07, 1892. Married Jonathan Funk and buried at Red Rock Cemetery, Preston County, WV.
Originally I showed Melinda and her husband, Daniel's burial to be on a farm south of Aurora, but I believe that the Aurora Pioneer Cemetery must be the location since that is actually on a farm and is where the early settlers were buried.
Of course when she died in 1857 the state was still known as Virginia.
Following Virginia's decision to join the Confederacy in 1861, fifty (50) of the Western Counties of Virginia which are mostly west of the mountains voted to became a part of the Union as a separate state known as West Virginia which became effective on June 20, 1863 thus explaining why sometimes the same place is referred to as Virginia and after 1863 it is called West Virginia.
