I am a descendant of Christina Wetzel who married Nicholas Woolf (var. spellings). I believe they were in Frederick Co., Maryland. Their daughter Margaret Woolf born about 1766 married John Westfall. That probably happened in the area that would become Harrison Co., Virginia and later would be part of West Virginia. Their son Stephen Westfall married Elizabeth 'Betsy' Morrison, 18 Jul 1818, in what was then Mason Co., Virginia. That area became part of Jackson Co., (West) Virginia in 1831. Their daughter, Jemima Westfall, married Chester S. Tenney on 2 March 1856 in Jackson Co., West Virginia. Chester died at the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain/Farm in May of 1864. Their daughter Elizabeth Ellen Tenney was my great grandmother. She had my grandfather by a Shamblin and then married William Henry Riffle 22 Nov 1888 in Jackson Co., West Virginia. She appears to have died between 1896 and 1900. I've never found a grave or death record for her. All that said there must be a much more recent relationship to explain the strength of our match. Hope to hear from you, Richard Johnson
