Still searching. This is what I have found:
1900 United State Federal Census shows James Runyon, age 50, estimated birth year about 1850, born in Virginia, the head of the house, married to Matilda (for nine years) who is age 42 having been born about 1858 in Virginia; residing in Stafford, Mingo, West Virginia with four (4) of six children still living - namely - Brook Runyon (born about 1892)[/u]; Thomas Runyon (born about 1894) and Charles and Elizabeth Runyon (both born about 1896 - probably twins)
Now the 1910 United States Federal Census shows James Runyan [James Runyon] age 53 (which doesn't make sense if he was 50 in 1900) estimated birth year about 1857 born in WV- still head of household, still married to Matilda - residing in Gilbert, Mingo, West Virginia with six children - Brookie age 20; Thomas age 17; Charlie and Lizzie both age 15; and Gracie and Derney (?Dewey) both age 9.
Now the 1920 United States Federal Census shows James Renyon [James Runyon] living in Stafford, Mingo, West Virginia, age 52 (again I don't understand) estimated birth year 1868 born in Va; still head of house; still married to Matilda and their sons -Thomas age 28; Charles age 23; and Dewey age 19 still living with them as well as a boarder named Mary Cater age 46.
All three censuses indicate James Runyon was born in Virginia and that his parents were born in Virginia. Could his parents have been Andrew and Elizabeth who appear on the 1880 United States Federal Census as residing in Grundy, Buchanan, Virginia with James M. Runyon age 19???
