6 JAMES WOLCOTT was born in September, 1799. For a short time he owned a small parcel of land along the river bank adjacent to his brother Josiah. But he sold this to Thomas Fleming on the 12th of November, 1830, for $32.50. His wife’s name was Lydia. He probably left the state soon after this. No further record of him can be found. Some members of the family think he went to Lancaster, Ohio, but the records there disclose no trace of him.

7 SARAH WOLCOTT was born on the 7th of November, 1804, she married William Nuzum, their marriage bond being dated on the 21st of June, 1823. Their home was at Fairmont. She died on the 13th of October, 1879; her husband, on the 18th of June, 1877, aged 78 years. Children: (1) John; (2) Elias; (3) Joseph; and (4) William F.

Marion County. She died on the 15th of October, 1868. (See 10 below).

Joseph Nuzum lived in Fairmont and had a family. But no record has been obtained of them.

Likewise no record has been secured of William F. Nuzum

8 MATILDA WOLCOTT was born on the 19th of July, 1807. She was deaf from childhood and died on the 25th of September, 1883.

9 PHOEBE WOLCOTT was born on the 3rd of February, 1810. She married John Vansickle, their bond being dated on the 14th of
March, 1829. Their home was at Fairmont. It is said by some members of the family that John Vansickle went to St. Louis where he was em-
ployed by the government in freighting goods across the plains, and that he was killed by the Indians while engaged in this business.
Phoebe Vansickle was burned to death at Fairmont on the 17th of June, 1880, when her clothes caught fire. They had two children: (1) Eliza-
beth; and (2) Anthony.

Elizabeth Vansickle (9-1) was born about 1830. She was married twice. Her last husband was Isaiah Freeland. They were married on the
7th of January, 1865, and lived at Fairmont.

Anthony Vansickle (9-2) was born about 1832. He married Sarah

page 83

Smith in 1875 and lived in Fairmont till his death in August, 1901. Nothing is known as to his family. He was a printer.

10 RACHEL WOLCOTT was born on the 10th of October, 1812. She married Burr P. Marstiller, son of Aaron Marstiller, April 1,
1847. He had been married previously, his first wife having been Elizabeth Freeman, whom he married on the 12th of May, 1835. Rachel
Marstiller died on the 11th of June, 1872; and her husband afterwards, January 23, 1873, married Catharine Taylor.

It appears that this Marstiller family lived at Stewartstown in Monongalia County. He was a marble cutter. In 1884 the heirs of Burr
P. Marstiller sold a small parcel of real estate to Rebecca Cunningham, being named in the deed as follows: Catharine Marstiller, widow, Ann
L. Fleming and Robert J. Fleming, her husband, Elias J. Nuzum and Eleanor C. Nuzum, his wife, Harry F. Nuzum, Eugene B. Nuzum and
Mary E. Nuzum, his wife, Cornelius B. Nuzum, Strother F. Marstiller and Eleanor H. Marstiller, his wife, and Susan F. Danser and William
Danser, her husband. Cornelius B. Nuzum was then in Fayette County, Kentucky. Strother F. Marstiller was in Lewanee County, Michigan.
Eugene B. Nuzum was in Tuskaloosa County, Alabama. The others were in Marion County.

From this it is apparent that Elias Nuzum had married again and that his first wife’s children were Harry F. Nuzum, Eugene B. Nuzum, and
Cornelius B. Nuzum. The marriage records show that Ann Fleming and Emily S. Nuzum were children of the first marriage of Burr P.
Marstiller. Ann was 26 years old when she married Robert J. Fleming, January 31, 1866; and Emily was past 22 when she was married. So
both were too old to be Rachel’s children. This Robert J. Fleming was born in East Hampton County, Massachusetts, and is not one of the
family being considered here.
