Ridge is an unincorporated community hamlet in Morgan County, West Virginia. It is located along Valley Road (U.S. Highway 522) at its intersection with Fish Hatchery Road (CR 38/10) near the Frederick County, Virginia line. Sleepy Creek and Timber Ridge lie to its east with Warm Springs Ridge lying to its west.
History
Ridge was originally known as Birch Grove, then as Timber Ridge, and then finally as Ridge. Its post office was in operation from 1860 to 1953. Ridge is the home to the Ridge State Fish Hatchery which breeds West Virginia trout used to stock local lakes, such as nearby Sleepy Creek Lake.

Rebecca Carpenter
See page 48 of the Mowrey 1997 book.
Page 48: 4. Rebecca (17) Carpentrer was born on April 1, 1793, married Samuel
C. Miller circa 1816 and died October 31, 1875. Samuel was born 25 April 1796,
served in the War of 1812 and died 13 January 1874. Both are buried in the old
"Miller Cemetery" on Stover's Fork in Roane County, West Virginia. The story of
Samuel's having traded forty dollars and a hog for Rebecca's hand in marriage
was reaffirmed by a number of people, quite independently
of each other, in several of this writer's (Mowrey) recent forays (1997) into
Braxton and Webster Counties.
Rebecca, married Samuel Miller (Bette Butcher Topp her descendants).
Have a great deal of info on Samuel Miller and family.
Rebecca Carpenter, b. 1 Apr. 1793 Braxton Co. Va., d. 31 Oct. 1875 Roane
Co. WV. Rebecca Carpenter's mother's maiden name was Mann, d/o John Mann,
Sr. & Francis Elizabeth Carpenter, d/o Joseph Coles Carpenter. Francis
was a aunt to Jeremiah Carpenter.
Data from Paul Mowrey's 1997 book. Page 61-62:
Children of Rebecca (17) Carpenter, of Jeremiah (16), of Solomon (15)
1. Mary Judith "Polly" or "Judy" Miller was born circa 1815 and
married John S. (17) Carpenter, her uncle, 1834 or earlier. This may have been
a "common law" marriage (no record is found). She is often confused with her
aunt, Judith Carpenter, who was the second wife of Jesse Tanner. Family
tradition says that Elijah Carpenter, her son, had a full brother
named George. Research neither confirms or denies this. He had three half
siblings (possibly full brothers) including James, Madison and Henson
found but unnamed , of course, in the household of Thomas Carpenter (son
of Solomon) in the 1840 census for Braxton County,
Virginia. Elijah was already living with his "Uncle" Jesse Tanner in Roane
County at this time.
2. Elizabeth "Betsey" Miller was born about 1816, married Alexander
"Sandy" Board 1 May 1837 in Jackson County, Virginia and died
before 3 March 1842.
3. Joshua Miller was born around 1818, married 1st to Samantha Runnion
who was the daughter of Henry and Sarah (Staats) King Runnion; 2nd to
Lucy (Bolt) Hopkins, a widow, 19 August 1869 in Ohio and died there
(date unknown). This Joshua is often mistaken for his uncle, Joshua,
for whom one of the Miller's Runs in Roane County is named. The uncle was
the first Miller to settle in Roane County.
4. Basil Miller was born circa 1820, married Elizabeth Tanner,
daughter of William Tanner, 8 March 1847 and died after 1870 in Roane County.
5. Amos Miller was born around 1822, married 1st Susan Helmeck 31
October 1846 and 2nd Susan Brannon 1 September 1848 and died 7 July 1904.
6. Jeremiah Miller was born 26 April 1823, died 24 June 1896 and
married 1st Adaline Tolley 16 September 1841; 2nd Lydia Rollins 30 November 1864
& 3rd Minerva L. Blackwell 26 May 1870. Family stories say that Jeremiah was
married five times. If so, the names of his other wives and marriage dates
are undiscovered.
7. Nancy Miller was born circa 1825, married Richard Wine 24 November
1848 and died 12 July 1890.
8. John Miller was born circa 1826, never married and died after 1860.
9. Samuel Miller, Jr., so-called, (His grandfather was also a Samuel
Miller.) was born circa 1829 and was twice married; 1st Mary Ann Robey 14
February 1848 and 2nd Susannah, whose maiden name is not known, before 1860.
10. Thomas Miller was born 7 October 1830, died 31 October 1895 and
was twice married. He married first Drusilla Kirby after 1850 and second Emily
Phillips, date undiscovered. Drusilla Kirby died 1863 or 1864. Emily was born
circa 1845 and died in April of 1896.
11. Emaline Miller was born in 1832 and died in 1917. She married
Charles Wine 1 September 1848. The children of Emaline and Nancy Miller were
double first cousins (mothers were sisters and fathers were brothers).
12. Anderson "Purdy Anderson" Miller was born 28 March 1837 in Jackson
County, Virginia and married Mary McKnown 16 March 1857. The nickname of "Purdy
Anderson" was self ascribed.
The author has yet to encounter a Roane County family researcher who hasn't
found an error in William H. Bishop's History of Roane County, West Virginia
(Spencer, WV, 1927) although there has to be someone- somewhere! This book was
written by subscription only and is a useful resource, but not very reliable.
However, many family histories, such as the Millers, are based almost
entirely upon it and are perpetuations of his mistakes- enough said!
Samuel C. Miller Jr.
He served in the War of 1812.
The following children show up in one report but not others. They may be
children of another marriage: Sarah J. MILLER, Mary Judith "Polly" MILLER,
Amos MILLER, Henderick MILLER, and Hezekiah MILLER.

pg. 608 Hardesty's says Greenbrier Co. Va. Samuel served in War of 1812.

NAME: Compare to John S. Carpenter-32629. Same spouse name.
Tami Knuutila < t_knute2003@yahoo.com > submitted this descendancy line on 4 Nov 2003 via e-mail.
He was killed in 1835. Is it possible there were two Johns in this family?
One died young? Was there a Mary Miller and a Judith Miller who may have been
sisters?
!John, married Judith "Polly" or Mary MILLER, d/o Samuel & Rebecca
(CARPENTER) Miller, Rebecca, d/o Jeremiah & Elizabeth (Mann) Carpenter.
Judith born ca. Judith born ca.1830, married second to Jesse TANNER.
(Judith was a neice of John Carpenter.)
This Judith, or Mary Miller would have been nineteen years his junior,
She was listed as the first marriage of Harper Dist. Roane Co. WV. abt.
1814. As Polly Miller Carpenter, a widow and d/o Samuel. (By
Hardesty's Roane Co. pg. 258)
Elijah Carpenter was born abt. 1828, so this could not be the son of John
S. & Mary "Polly" Miller.
Do not know if this is a son of John S. Carpenter or not.
James Adison CARPENTER b. abt 1834 m. Rosana /??/b. abt 1844

Committed Suicide. On Monday the rumor reached here that Amos Carpenter,
a prominent citizen of Webster County, had committed suicide, but there
was no confirmation of it until the Intelligence of the 12th. inst., came
to hand which contained the folliwng:--Amos Carpenter, a prominent and
infuential farmer of the Webster county, who lives near Erbacon,
attempted suicide last night at 10 o,clock about one mile and a half from
his home by shooting himself with a 32-calibre revolver. The ball took
effect in the right breast. Dr. Hyer pronounced it fatal. Everyone that
has visted Webster Springs no doubt remembers Mr. Carpenter, as his home
has always been a resting place on this long journey. He is resting
easier to-night, but the doctor has not hopes of his recovery. Domestic
troubles seems to have been the cause of the act.

John S. Carpenter
NAME:
Middle name possbly Stanley.
Compare to John Samuel Carpenter-28453. Same spouse name.
See page 48 of the Mowrey 1997 book.
Per page 48: 10. John S. (17) was born about 1808, married? 1st Mary Judith
Miller circa 1834- 2nd Sidney or Sudance Cowger 2 June 1849 and died after 1880
in Webster County, West Virginia.
Mary Judith Miller was a daughter of Samuel and Rebecca (Carpenter) Miller and
John's niece. (NOTE!!!) She is often confused with Mary Carpenter,
daughter of Jesse, and Judith Carpenter, daughter of Jeremiah, who were the
first two wives of Jesse Tanner, because of their commonality in Christian and
nicknames and misinformation in John A. House's never-the-less valuable book,
Pioneers of Roane County, West Virginia, published at Spencer in 1906.
From notes on the other John S. in the Family ...
He was killed in 1835. Is it possible there were two Johns in this family?
One died young? Was there a Mary Miller and a Judith Miller who may have been
sisters?
John, married Judith "Polly" or Mary MILLER, d/o Samuel & Rebecca
(CARPENTER) Miller, Rebecca, d/o Jeremiah & Elizabeth (Mann) Carpenter.
Judith born ca. Judith born ca.1830, married second to Jesse TANNER.
(Judith was a neice of John Carpenter.)
This Judith, or Mary Miller would have been nineteen years his junior,
She was listed as the first marriage of Harper Dist. Roane Co. WV. abt.
1814. As Polly Miller Carpenter, a widow and d/o Samuel. (By
Hardesty's Roane Co. pg. 258)
Elijah Carpenter was born abt. 1828, so this could not be the son of John
S. & Mary "Polly" Miller.
Do not know if this is a son of John S. Carpenter or not.

It might take me some time to go through this. I probably won't get to it until after April 15. I still have to do my taxes and as of Sunday am working with the police investigating a break in at my grandmother's house Zadia Dale Price Greathouse. She passed in 2010. I was planning to remodel her house just to have a place to stay in Richwood when want to visit there, but nope... the thieves and druggees aren't going to let us keep anything decent there. It has been broken into three times. It sets on the Greathouse homestead land settled there in 1906 when Ervin M. Greathouse, son of Isaac B. & Sarah Elizabeth Tanner Greathouse moved his family there to run his own lumber tram operation hauling logs to Cherry River Boom & Lumber Company. At first glance at Judith "Polly" Carpenter... I think Jesse Tanner's first wife Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Carpenter nickname may have been attached to Judith by some researchers who didn't catch that Jesse Tanner married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" about 1820. She appears to have died about the time her son William Tanner was born about 1836. She has been reported as daughter of Jesse & Sarah Jane Riffe Carpenter. Jesse next married Judith Carpenter daughter of Jeremiah & Elizabeth Hamm Carpenter about 1827. Their first child appears to have been Thomas Tanner if I recall. I have not seen any records in which Judith was named Polly. I can give you Judith's death record rather quickly, in which Jesse Tanner related her parents as J. [Jeremiah] and Elizabeth [Hamm] Carpenter. Her death register entry is on line 41. -- Rick Greathouse rick@greathouse.us

Judith "Polly" Carpenter
NAME: Judith was known as Polly, but her name is often spellt as Judy or Judah
instead of Judith. See page 48 of the Mowrey 1997 book:
Per page 48: 11. Judith (17) Carpenter was born around 1809, married Jesse
"Ike" Tanner circa 1837 and died 10 October 1859 (Jesse reported her death in
Roane County. Other records have her death in Braxton county, VA.
She was fifty years old and the daughter of J. and Elizabeth (Hamm) Carpenter
of Braxton (page 49) County. She and Jesse's first wife, Mary Carpenter
(daughter of Jesse and Sarah Jane Riffe Carpenter) are probably buried in the
old Tanner Cemetery on Craig Ridge.
MARRIAGES need clarification. Children conflicts. Could there be 2 Mary
Carpenters?
DEATH:
See line 41 Tanner, Judah death Oct 10, 1839 Roane County VA. Died of consumption age 50.
On the next page it lists her parents J & Elizabeth Carpenter of Braxton County, VA.
Jesse Tanner is the spouse and reporter of death. He is listed as the husband of the deceased. See image at:

UPDATE OF THE GENEALOGY OF THE NEW ENGLAND CARPENTER FAMILY OF ENGLISH

CARPENTER - PIONEER OF THE JACKSON RIVER - MOWREY"S VERSION.
BY TERRY LEE CARPENTER AND PAUL THOMAS MOWREY.
PRO BONO PUBLICO - PRIVATELY PUBLISHED, DOVER, OHIO, 1997.
BY PAUL THOMAS MOWREY.
PAGE 52: 2. Jesse "Ike" Tanner was born circa 1795, married 1st Mary "Polly"
Carpenter 14 August 1820 in Mason County (Mary was a daughter of Jesse and
Sarah Jane Riffe Carpenter) and 2nd Judith Carpenter (Judy was a daughter of
Jeremiah and Elizabeth Hamm Carpenter) circa 1837. All of Jesse and Judith
Carpenter Tanner's children 1837-1846 listed their parents as Jesse and Judy
Tanner when they married. Judy died 10 October 1859 and is reportedly buried
in the "Old Tanner Cemetery" on Craig Ridge. Mary Carpenter Tanner died in
childbirth with her last child, William, and is supposedly buried in the same
graveyard. Jesse Tanner married 3rd Lucinda Raines 11 February 1860 and died 26
March 1885. Lucinda was a daughter of Uriah and Massie (Hughes) Gandee, a widow
of Abraham Raines and a first cousin, but once removed, to Jesse Tanner through
the Hughes family. They are buried in the Memorial Gardens Cemetery at Spencer,
West Virginia. Jesse and Lucinda's (Page 52) children, 1862-1872, all listed
their parents as Jesse and Lucy or Lucinda when they married. Parental listings
offer substantial proof of whom Jesse Tanner married and when he married them.
NOTE: Jesse "Buffalo" TANNER Sr. AND Jesse "Ike" TANNER may or may not be the
same person. I think maybe, but there is enough debate to allow two until
further details come forth.

Sudna Elizabeth (Carpenter) Tanner but cannot prove it at the moment.
16463.

Joseph Carpenter
MISC:
Mason and Jackson Counties of Virginia became part of WV in 1862.
Mason County was created in 1804 from Kanawha County.
Jackson County was created in 1831 from Kanawha, Mason and Wood.
NOTE:
Joseph (18) Carpenter was born about 1820, died after 1880 and married Sarah
Runnion 29 March 1840 (She was born in May of 1826 and died around 1863,
daughter of Henry and Sarah (Staats) (King) Runnion).
COMMENT: There is a Sarah listed as wife to Joseph in the 1870 and 1880 US Census records. See below. How could she have died around 1863? Is there another unknown marriage to another Sarah?
PARENTS:
Jesse Carpenter b. abt 1762 VA - d. aft 1825 OH?
Sarah Jane "Jenny" Riffe b. abt 1776 Va - d. ? ?
These parents supplied by Terry Lee Carpenter.
PARENTS: challenged
Thomas Carpenter b. abt 1796 VA (later the part which became WV) and not OH - d. abt 1882 Roane County, WV.
Sarah E. Wright b. abt 1796/1804 VA - d. abt Jul 1872 OH or VA.
PARENT CONNECTION IS CHALLENGED.
There are a few people who confuse this Joseph with a Joseph Carpenter b. Aug 1842 of Calhoon County, WV who d. abt 1882 or 27 Mar 1881 per a private tree.
They have parents (likely in error) listed as:
Thomas Carpenter 1796-1882
Sarah Wright 1804-1872
Most have the spouse listed as:
Mary "Polly" Lowe 1848-1882
Some attach another spouse:
Sarah Wright 1796 or 1804 - 1872 attached in error.
These lines all cite Ancestry Family Trees as their sources.
BIRTH:
Claimed as b. 1820 in Mason County, however no documentation or proof given other than un-documented internet genealogies. More likely born in VA and the area now called WV.
DEATH: No death date confirmed!
Joseph's death date is clearly before 1900 and after the 1880 US Census.
There are a few people who confuse this Joseph with a Joseph Carpenter b. Aug 1842 of Calhoon County, WV who d. abt 1882 or 27 Mar 1881 per a private tree. See PARENTS Above.
MARRIAGE: 1844 in Jackson, VA, now WV - re-marriage? See NOTE above.

Jenny Riffe
NAME: Riffe or Rife. She husband's notes.
AKA: Jenny Rite (Wright?). <--- merged spousal name!?
Father is believed to be Joseph. However he may have been an uncle.
NOTE: This was Sarah Jane Riffe, now known as "Jenny Rife", is NOT Jenny Wright who married Jesse Carpenter-28439. Different people. JRC
COMMENT:
The 1796 marriage record for Jesse Carpenter names his bride as Jenny Rife, and there is no record identifying her as Sarah Jane even though many internet trees state that. Her surname was not Wright -- the Rev. John Alderson, who married them, was a literate man, and he spelled Wright correctly in his list of marriages that he performed. Rife was later spelled Riffe -- it was pronounced "riffy" not "ryte."

Jesse Carpenter
NOTE:
Jesse is identified in a published recollection as a brother of Jeremiah Carpenter, who is a proved son of Solomon Carpenter based on a county court record. However, due to the questioned reliability of the author of the recollection, it's best to annotate him as "parentage not proven."
[An]other Jesse was born c1785 (RIN 28439), and is easily separated from this Jesse, but they were merged in online "trees" that have been copied with no analysis being applied and replicated until they make up the majority of the hits in an Ancestry.com search ... Terry Lee Carpenter

Hi John,
The 1796 marriage record for Jesse Carpenter names his bride as Jenny Rife, and there is no record identifying her as Sarah Jane even though many internet trees state that. Her surname was not Wright -- the Rev. John Alderson, who married them, was a literate man, and he spelled Wright correctly in his list of marriages that he performed. Rife was later spelled Riffe -- it was pronounced "riffy" not "ryte."
The Jesse Carpenter who married in 1814 to Margaret Cottrell did not marry in 1796 to Jenny Wright -- he would have been only 11 years old at that time.
Both Jesses were too young to have served in the Revolutionary War. There are 4 Jesse Carpenters with War of 1812 service in Virginia or Ohio. One was the Jesse Carpenter born c1785 who married Margaret, the other three were from other places in Virginia.
The Van Ripper family tree information about the Carpenters is chock full of errors, for example, listing Amos Carpenter who was born 14 Feb 1754 in VA as born in "Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA." They cite two references, (1) U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 which are in large part unverified user-contributed say-so information that cannot be accepted at face value; and (2) unverified user-contributed Ancestry Family Trees that are no longer available -- and probably just as well because they most likely cited other Ancestry Family Trees none of which were based on original sources. The many obvious errors make it clear that they have been indiscriminately copying and conflating others' work.

Page 41: 6. Jesse (16) Carpenter was born about 1762, married Sarah Jane
"Jenny" Rife or Riffe on May 3, 1796 and moved to Gallia County, Ohio
immediately thereafter.
He served in the War of 1812 and received a pension (later revoked) for
service in the Revolutionary War under a Captain Trunk. Some researchers
believe (page 42) that Jesse was twice married and that Sarah Jane was his
second wife. Jenny Rite (Wright?) was supposedly his first wife. Jesse's
marriage is yet to be found on any original list by John Alderson, the widely
travelled itinerant minister who supposedly celebrated the rites of matrimony
(Other Carpenter marriages are). Old English script sometimes seems to defy
deciphering and transliterations are very common. Perhaps this is a "second
hand reading". "Jenny" is the usual nickname for Jane. People are
often found with first, middle or nickname in different censuses. Any
legitimate proof of either marriage, particularly a second one, would quickly
eliminate the controversy.
NOTE: Is Jesse short for Nathan?
