Hi Roberta
I found some interesting listings here:
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=sea...
just type in Daniel Haymond , spouse only Griffen, leave the rest and you will be quite surprised at what will appear and a most interesting piece which is on Monongalia County??
I found a Daniel Haymon (1803-1877) buried at Lone Oak Cemetery Pt Pleasant West Virginia
I found 1 in here: http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/
Just click the indexes you require
2 are here : http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?ev...
1 here: http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexes/keyname_search.asp
Also have found some info via WVR but they seem to be having problems with images so I will wait and see how it pans out later
And the name Griffen comes up Griffin them and the Haymond’s were pretty well known in West Virginia?

Hello Wayne: Thank you for looking these things up for me. I have the Elder information since my mother was Freida (listed as Freda) and I was more or less raised by my grandmother Mary and her daughters. There was a son also who died in a truck accident in 1924 at 12 so he would not have been listed. What I am looking for is my grandfather's, Robert's, information before he married my grandmother. I know the names of his parents, their birth & death dates and the names of all his siblings. I want to be able to get in touch with my grandfather's neices and nephews, especially those in PA since my older son lives there. My grandfather was born and raised there but married and lived in WV after that.

The Haymond information you supplied was not my Daniel Haymond. (There are a bunch of "Daniel Haymonds" so it's a little tricky.) The one you found may have been a cousin. But I do appreciate the response. He was married four times and the wife that I am descended thru was Elizabeth Griffin. I do appreciate your looking all that up. Roberta

hello Roberta
I have been looking even more and will ask: Is Isaac and Mary (Morris) Griffin a part of your family?

If so I can source the Morris family 6th generation if needed?

Hello, Wayne: Since I am descended thru Ellizabeth Griffin who was married to Daniel Haymond, the Mary Morris children and their descendants would be cousins to me; Mary Morris would not be related. I'm not sure how to answer your question; yes, the children and descendants would be my cousins. I struggle with questions like this. I guess I have to put it back on you. Sorry. Roberta

Looking for MACKAY family. Hugh Mackay and Mary (Brennan) married in Athlone Westmeath Ireland around 1838 and emigrated to NSW between 1838 and 1842. They then moved north. Hugh's obituary in 1892 notes they were pioneers of the Darling Downs period. Their son Bernard, my g grandfather, was born at Leyburn near Toowoomba while it was still part of NSW. Hugh's obit notes they farmed at Esk, the Five Mile Waters with Hugh and family finally settling outside Harrisville on a property they called Thornhill. I'm looking for any information about their arrival in NSW - they appear to have swum over. I am also interested in where they might have been in NSW before going to Qld.

Thanks all for any assistance.
Anne
