Compiled by

JOHN EDWARD AND MARY ALICE RICHMAN WARNOCK

SEPTEMBER, 1998, UPDATE

INTRODUCTION

William and Rebeckah Warnock are first found in the Path Valley of Cumberland County, now Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in 1763. Their third son, John, was born in the Path Valley of Pennsylvania in l766 or 1767 so it is estimated that both William and Rebeckah were born during the period l730 to l735 since the oldest child, Jacob, probably was born around l756 or l757. William and Rebeckah moved to the Wheeling, Virginia, area, now West Virginia, in l787. William died in the Wheeling area during l796 and Rebeckah died there in l8l0 or l8ll. Quite likely they both are buried a short distance northeast of Wheeling near the headwaters of Peters Run. This effort represents another update of the original listing, as many new names have been discovered since the last update in August, l996.
