I am looking for information on a Hannah Jane (Helmick) Dawson. She was married to Abraham Dawson.
They had four children of their own - Robert, Charlotte, Lettie and May Florence. They adopted a young Indian girl - Minnie.

Apparently, the four children came down with Scarlet Fever, ran high fevers for an extended period of time and had hearing problems. Minnie was not affected. Hannah Jane died at a young age - from Scarlet Fever?? not sure. No records of her death- the assumption is she died somewhere between 1887(Minnie's birth date 1 May 1887) and before Abraham died in Jul 1895.

Abraham died from being struck by a tree. This left the five children to fend for themselves.

Nothing is known about Minnie's birth parents other than she is part Shawnee or Mound Indian. WV vitals show Hannah and Abraham as the birth parents but this is not correct.

Minnie had a daughter Emma Francis ("Fannie")- partner unknown. She then married Giovanni Pagliari(he later changed his name to John Pegley) and they had nine children - Tressa, Joe, Ray, Julia, Rosy, Louey, Della May, John Jr. and Richard. Little is known about Joe, Julia, Rosy, Della May and John Jr.
Tressa is my grandmother who married Guido....Soccorsi.

I currently have three trees of Ciampanella's. They all came from the same region of Italy - two lines settled in Preston County and the other line settled in McDowell County. I am pretty sure they are all related but lack several pieces of the puzzle.

Line one: Lucia, Domenico, Domenica, and Sante - parents were Carmine Ciampanella and Beatrice DeSantis.
Line two: Edoard(Edward), Annibale, Loreto(Sorento) and Antonio - parents were Ferdinand Ciampanella and Annie - maiden name not known.
Line three: Arturio/Agostino and Benadetto - parents were Massimino Ciampanella and Jiutita Santolini and Antonio - parents were Massimino Ciampanella and unknown mother.

It makes me wonder if Carmine, Ferdinand and Massimino weren't brothers????


What I find odd is that the same families have all inter-married - Soccorsi, Ciampanella, Santolini, Marella, Lalli, and Lauri's. Again all from the same region of Italy.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
