McPhersons of Virginia and West Virginia

Hi,

I am researching a Jane Moore born 24 April 1817 in Virginia according to a internet tree.Says, died 4 Mar 1900.This Jane , married 1841,to Stephen Jesse McPherson who was born Nov 1810 in Harrison of Charles City County , Virginia. He died 3 Nov 1863 in Jackson County, West Virginia.

I located this:
Virginia Marriage, 1740-1850:
Groom Name: Stephen McPherson
Bride Name: Jane Moore
Marriage Date: 18 Apr 1841
County: Lewis
State: Virginia

The fact that the marriage took place in Lewis County, is of particular interest and may be the defining factor.

I can find lots more on the McPherson descendants, but not a obiturary yet that claims who or where this Jane Moore is from and information on her parents.
