Notes
Individual:
Stephen Amos, their second son, was born near the family farm in Basnettville and married Elizabeth Miller. They had
seven children, including Mary Ann Amos. The Amoses moved to Berea, WV, which was a Seventh Day Baptist stronghold
originally called "Seven-Day Mill." In 1867 a local schoolteacher agreed to request a post office for the village -- but only if the
name was changed. Since a revival had been going on throughout that winter and a Bible school had been reopened,
someone suggested the name "Berea," after the city where the Apostle Paul found diligent Bible seekers. His daughter
Mary Ann Amos was the mother of Elmina Meredith, who married Salathiel Lawson.

!DEATH: LDS Ancestral File - says died and buried same day in Monongalia
