| Notes |
- The following information was written by Jay Weirich Bresock:
My father died six months before I was born leaving my mother with her own family and the family by his first wife. We were all kept together for about five years; Tillie taking care of the house as my mother worked out and the other children also as they became old enough. Later the older ones began to work away from home and earn their own way. My brothers and I were put out with families who were friends of my mother. We worked for our keep and in this way were all separated and lost contact with each other; especially the older ones. I lived with a Smith family at Wellsburg until I was about 14, then we three boys with our mother moved to Washington, Pennsylvania where we worked in the glass factory. Mother kept house for us for three years.
She then married a man named Morris. I was 17 at this time. I then went to California. This was in 1906. In 1909 I married Mary Ella Jackson at Sacramento, California. She was a Wellsburg girl and we lived at Woodland, California until 1913. She wanted to go back home on a visit. She did, but never returned to California. To us were born the following children. She took them with her.
