  1865 - Marries Prudence Ellen Rowan ca 1865 probably in Lewis Co, WV.  Marriage year based on birth year of daughter Mary.  The marriage could have been earlier if there were any children who were born before Mary.  I checked both birth and death records for all Wilmoth who were born or died in Barbour Co., WV up until 1881 with no luck. 

Some family trees have the maiden name of Prudence as Hooker.  This is incorrect.  Daughter Mary's death certificate has Rowan.  Son William's IL marriage record has "Trudy Roary" as his mother's name.  Trudy would be Prudy.  Roary is closer to Rowan than Hooker is.

Application for Military Marker for General Marion Wilmoth

Of note:  The date of death is given as Jul 11, 1881.  This headstone was requested 60 years after his death in 1940.  Which is probably why there is a different, probably wrong, date

If there was an old marker, it may have been damaged which is why they ordered another one.  Or there was never one to begin with.  On the Find A Grave website, there is a photo of an older marker.  This could be he original marker or a flat stone that laid over the grave or a foot stone.

  1885 - Prudence marries again to Lair D Reed (1847-1912) Jan 8, 1885, Barbour Co., WV, who was married first to Emily Jane Poling (daughter of Harvey Poling and Mary Markley) who died in 1884
 
  1900 - Prudence and 2nd husband Lair D Reed are living in Court House, Taylor Co., WV.  All of the children living with them are Lair's from his first marriage.  Of note is that Prudence reports in the 1900 Census that she had 6 children, 3 living.  The 3 living children would be Mary, William, and Austin.  I checked all Wilmoth birth and death looking for these 3 unknown babies with no luck.  Prudence was 40 when she remarried, so it is unlikely that she got pregnant 3 more times with Lair Reed.  She had to raise all of his children along with her three.  These 3 unknown children were probably stillborns that were not reported.

In the 1910 Census, she also reports 6 children.  2 then living because Austin had died in 1906.
 
  1910 - Census - Prudence and Lair Reed are living in May, Lee Co., IL with Lair's youngest daughter. Izuna (name on 1880 Census ) or Zera Reed.  Lair is working on a farm.
 
  1911 - Prudence dies sometime before Oct 6, 1911 based on paperwork regarding her estate filed in Taylor Co., WV.  It is unknown whether she died in Illinois, where she was a year earlier, in WV, or elsewhere.  Checking online of IL deaths in 1911, I was unable to find Prudence's death in IL.  She is also not found in the online record of WV deaths.  Daughter Mary is living in Court House, Taylor Co., WV in 1910 and son William is living in IL.  Husband Lair Reed dies the following year in Chicago, IL.

Obituary for Richard L Delaney
 https://www.lamberttatman.com/obituaries/richard-delaney
Accessed November 9, 2026
Richard L. Delaney, 72, of Vienna, died April 17 after a 12-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Richard was born in Rosedale, WV, on August 28, 1947. He graduated from Glenville High School in 1965.

Following high school, he was drafted to the army to fight in the Vietnam War.

After courageously serving our country, he enrolled in Glenville State College and graduated in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree in Art
Richard worked at the Fenton Art Glass Company for his entire 32-year career. He started as a decorator but quickly transitioned into a trainer and designer, then to be a supervisor in the Decorating Department. Richard also started the Sandcarve Division and designed the collection “Geometrics” for Fenton in 1985, inspired by the re-emergence of art deco influence in the 1980s. His talents led to beautiful collections designed for companies like Avon and QVC. His pieces have been featured at the Cincinnati Art Museum and The Greenbrier. Richard won awards for his work at regional competitions for veterans in the state of West Virginia. In 2009, his final art show, “The Edge of Reflection,” was hosted at the University of Cincinnati Clermont College.

Richard is survived by his wife of 50 years, Loreta M. (Hinter) Delaney of Vienna; children, Meredith L. Delaney of Cincinnati, OH, and Matthew C. Delaney (Heidi) of New Milton, WV; brother David W. Delaney (Mary Jane) of Vienna; grandson Lion Ward of New Milton, WV, sister-in-law Vivian E. (Dave) Burton, several nephews and two special nieces Debbie E. (Chris) Goforth of San Antonio, TX, and Christy D. Burton of Columbus, OH and his best friend Dave Rawson of Parkersburg.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Beryl W. and Grace E. Delaney and brothers Rondell and Colin Delaney.

Richard was a member of Christ Lutheran Church in Vienna. He loved his family, being a champion for his children and the many pets they adopted over the years from the Humane Society of Parkersburg. He loved to garden and be outside in the yard, make his signature chili, paint watercolors and spend time on the family farm. He especially loved summer and being at the beach. Most of all, Richard was a kind and thoughtful man, always willing to help a friend, neighbor or stranger.

To honor him, the family asks that you perform a random act of kindness in his honor. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Humane Society of Parkersburg or the Alzheimer’s Association of Cincinnati. The family would like to thank the staff at Highland Oaks Health Center of McConnelsville, OH, for proving care for Richard. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time so that family and friends can gather in his memory. Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home and Crematory of Vienna is assisting the family with the arrangements.

  Unable to find Dora after this point.  I tried looking for any Dora with the same birth date in SS records, death records, Find A Grave, etc.   I checked the Dora's in the cemeteries sisters Stella and Lulu are at, with no luck.  I looked at marriages of Dora's in Gilmer and Taylor Co., WV with no luck.  No one else on ancestry.com or familysearch.com has found anything other than what I found.  What is for sure, is that she died before 1963 because she is not mentioned is sister Lulu's obit.

  After this point, it is unknown what happened to Austin.  There was an assignment of a bond for administers of Austin W Wilmoth's estate in May 5, 1906.  However, Lillie May remarried to Benjamin P Jamison on Apr 5, 1903.  So unless Austin divorced Lillie May, she would not be remarrying unless Austin had died prior to 1903.  There is also their son Austin, Jr that died in 1910 at age 7.  The death was reported by step-father Benjamin P Jamison. If Austin Jr, was born in late 1902 or 1903.  Lillie May may have even been pregnant when she married Jamison.  So this would put Austin's death or disappearance in the year 1902. 

Which begs the question, what estate are they administering in 1906??

I could find no death record or burial record for Austin Wonderly Wilmoth

  1900 - Census - Harold is not with his parents in this Census.  Perhaps he was with a relative or they forgot to mention to the census taker that they had a child.
  1910 - Census - Harold living with his mother and her husband Benjamin P Jamison in Glenville, Gilmer Co., WV
 

WWI Registration for Harold "Wilbur" Wilmoth

Of note:  Besides the incorrect middle name, Harold lists his next of kin as May Wilmoth, which is odd because his mother had remarried to Jamison and had died in 1911.  I think the registrar filled out and signed the entire form, copying some document Harold had with him.
