We are descended from Captain John Wetzel of the Revolutionary War and his son Martin, himself a notorious Indian fighter and frontier scout, brother to the (in)famous Lewis Wetzel, renowned Indian fighter for whom Wetzel County, WV is named.
Other ancestors on my father's side include sisters to both Devil Anse Hatfield and Randolf McCoy, clan leaders in the famous (and somewhat exagerrated)family feud of Eastern Kentucky and Southwestern West Virginia.
Most of our roots have been in North America since early in the 18th century.We're still trying to sort them all out.'Looking for information on Wetzel, Varney, Duty, Hatfield, McCoy,... of West Virginia, on Spring, Hall, Snyder... of upstate Pennsylvania and New York State.Willing to share and collaborate; 'haven't had this much fun in years!!

    Wetzel, Bonnett, Hatfield, McCoy, Spring, Hall, Snyder, Dingman,... most have been "americans" since the 17th and 18th centuries, fought indians, fought for independence, fought for or against secession.It is a tree of many statistics, but the notes try to bring the figures alive by finding out who they were, not just that they were.
