I have been researching this line for 10 years but this may not be all there is to find and it may not be 100% correct, I have found another wife posted on Find A Grave but no marriage record, her name is Isabel Haynes and there are more children listed for them. So more research is needed and a trip to West Virginia. 

Sewell, WV is now a ghost town, here's a YouTube video I found.

Maybe one of my relatives lived in one of those abandoned houses?  I love tracing my family history, the good, the bad & the ugly and I add it all.
