Ali "Coon" Belcher (Eli)
born: 17 Dec. 1838 Russell County Virgina
died: 1925 Webster County Wv
Married: # 1 21 Jan 1860 Lucinda (Cindy) Mullins(Baker) Wyoming County West Va.
born 1844 Pike County Kentucky Lucinda died before 1893 when he married again.
Married: #2 29 June 1893 Jester (Jestin) Carr dau. of William Wilborn Carr Nicholas County West Virginia.
Belcher, Ali Gender: Male Spouse: Jester Carr Marriage Date: Jun 29, 1893 County: Nicholas More About: This record can be found at the County Clerk Records, Film # 0495643.
"1850 Tazewell county census listed as age 10 in home of father Bartley household # 933 mother Rachel, brothers Richard, Moses And George
"Marriage Records of Wyoming...", Vol 1, Haga, page 8.
Married Lucinda Mullins, daughter of Jane Baker.
Jane's maiden name unknown possibly Mullins or who the Baker she was married to.
Lucinda listed in 1850 Census of Pike County age 6 with Father, John Mullins, mother Lucinda, and sisters: Eliza and Ester Mullins
Yet, she is listed in marriage Records as daughter of Jane Baker. Confusing to say the least, since Jenny (Jane) Baker age 35 is also living in this home.
John Mullins age 55 born in Ky household #283.
Lucinda Mullins age 40
Esther Mullins age 8
Eliza Mullins age 8
Lucinda Mullins age 6
Jenny Baker age 35 born in Va.
After looking at this I am inclined to believe that Lucinda Baker and Jane Baker were sisters: Lucinda marrying John Mullins and Jane a Baker
Lucinda and John Mullins had: Lucinda that married Ali,Esther that married George, and Elizabeth Mullins
Jane also had a daughter Esther.
Janes daughter Esther Baker is listed in 1880 living with Ali and Jane As well
There is a possibility that some of the children were living with John and Lucinda Mullins as their children.
This family is still confusing
married before.
Lucinda 1860 census wyoming county west va listed in household of Eli(Ali) Belcher
1870 Census, Wyoming Co, WV, Center District, Rock View, Family 38.
"Reference Book of Wyoming County History", Mary K. Bowman, page 432. Coon Belcher, son of Bartley and Rachel Belcher, married Lucinda Baker and
went to Kanawha Co, WV.
Ali Belcher is listed as a Private in Company C, 45th Battalion Virginia Infantry under Lt. Colonel Henry M. Beckley. Company Commander was Captain James R. Cook. Ali's brothers, Abram and George are also listed in Company C. Source " Tattered Uniforms and Bright Bayonets" by Jack L. Dickenson.

then the next family is Ali's family

This would seem:

#15 8..Joseph Bartley Belcher
born 29 Feb 1878 Kanawha County Wv.
Is said to have been married several times and have 21 children.
Married: #1 unknown
Married: #2 Melissa King
Married: #3 Arlie Gibson
Married: #4 possibly Doris since she is listed on his World War II Draft Card.
Bart is listed as working in the coal mines but he was also a primitive Baptist Church Preacher
1910 Census Kanawha County
Joseph B age 32
Malissa J age 33 married 9 years
James A Son age 11
Ira W. son age 9
Dayton age 6
Lola B age 4
Vesta M age 2
Cody L age 5 months
Joseph may have been married before Melissa King
since James A is age 11 and the 1910 Census says he and Melissa were married 9 years.
Either that or they didnt marry until later.
1920 Kanawha County Census:
Joseph B. Belcher age 41
household # 117
Arlie L. age 24
- 1..Ira W. age 18
2..Dayton age 16
3..Lola E. age 14
4..Vesta M age 12
5..Coda L age 10
6..Herman D age 8
7..Wavis G. age 4
8..Dorothy D. age 4 months
So possibley Wavis is her first Child but Herman could possibley be but unlikely.
This Census doesnt state how long they have been married.
