NOTE: This record seems odd -- James Oren Harvey (9 DEC 1878 - 1918) was married to Appoline Hill 23 DEC 1899 in Barbour County, and they are listed together in the 1900 census living at Barker. It appears there was a second James Oran Harvey, born 9 SEP 1878 in Barbour County, West Virginia to John and Minerva Harvey, and living at Hagerstown, Maryland as of his 1942 draft registration.
