Transcription:
September 14, 1860 issue of the Staunton Vindicator: Near Mt. Solon, on the 7th inst., Christian Rusmisel, in the 74th year of his age. In the death of Mr. Rusmisel, Augusta County has lost another of her aged and valued citizens. He was born in the county, and never had even a temporary residence out of it. He was a good man in all the relations of life - affectionate and devoted as a husband and father - warm as a friend and neighbor; he was also a christian. Since early life he had been a consistent member of the German Reformed church. He died in the full hope of a glorious resurrection. P.

Note errors: (1) He was born in Pennsylvania and 2) he was a soldier in the War of 1812, and most likely went outside the county then.

An inquest was at once held, and a verdict of death from natural causes rendered, after which his remains were taken in charge by friends.

Edward and Isabella (LAUGHTON) McVEIGH

The family story told about my great-great-grandfather, James McVeigh (1819-1897), was that he came from the Isle of Man.
My cousin Harold Danson wrote to the Isle of Man History Society in 1984 for any information they had on McVeighs on Man. He received a reply from their researher, Mrs. Sylvia Mylchreest, on 25 Mar 1984 which contained the following information:

19 Jun 1825 : "Ed. McVey and Isabelle Laughton married. t.t. John Lewin and Mary Druid." From "Register of Baptisms and Marriages of the Catholics of the Isle of Man 1817--March 6, 1849."

From the "Sun," Isle of Man newspaper"

Jun 19 1832: "Edward McVeagh announces that he will not be responsible for any debts incurred by his wife Isabella McVeagh."

Aug 8 1834: "Edward McVeagh announces his removal from Church Street to the house lately occupied by Mr. Corran, Saddler, Bond Street, where he offers for sale an assortment of cut and plain glass etc."

1837 Not in Pigots Trade Directory

1841 Not in Bond St. in Census

No record of the family in the Church of England marriages and baptisms.."

This agrees with the family tale that James' family owned a "glass factory." James also named his oldest son David Edward McVeigh. From this, Cousin Harold concluded that Edward and Isabella (Laughton) were James' parents. David may be James' father (or his brother), but Isabella is probably not James' mother, since David and Isabella married when James was about six years old.
