This is not my family, not really anyway. Just sort of. It is my husbands family from the Petersburg, West Viginia area.

Gary Lee Borror was born on Nov. 4, 1949 the second child of Elvin Lee Borror and Goldie Virginia Ratcliff. His older sister is Linda May Borror and younger brother is Donald Wayne Borror, neither of them married or had children. Gary Lee married Barbara Jean Barnett and had one child, a son Dustin Lee Borror born on July 3, 1980.
Elvin Lee Borror was born on June 23, 1923, in Petersburg, Grant County, WV, the 4th child of John Elvin Borror (born in Petersburg, WV Sept. 18, 1893, son of John McClure Borror, born Nov. 1, 1860 in Pendleton, County, WV died April 12, 1942) and Ethel May Shaffer (the daughter of the above story of Abraham Shaffer and Myrtle A.

(Glenn is the only one I had birthdates on.) David Vaughn married Carmen and had 2 boys names unknown. Gene married Mary and had one boy, Allen. Ronald married Carolyn and had one daughter, Tina.

Eartha Judy, Lee’s great grandmother on his moms side was the daughter of Noah Judy (born about 1843, in WV and died Aug. 15, 1933 in WV) and Clara Ours. Noah Judy was a son of Henry Judy (born Mar. 3, 1799, in VA married on Dec. 12, 1839, in VA and died on Mar. 8, 1854 in VA). Henry Judy was the son of Nicholas Judy (born 1774 in Pennsylvania, married in 1784 and died in 1810 in VA) Nicholas married Mary Fultz (born about 1750). Nicholas Judy was the son of Martin Tschudi, and this is when the name spelling was changed (born about 1708 in Sissach, Canton Basel, Switzerland and died 1785 in WV) and Martin was married to Rosina Schaffner (born in 1710 in Switzerland and died April 07, 1780 in VA). He was a mapmaker in Switzerland before coming to the US. Noah Judy’s mother was Elizabeth Ann Kimble (born 1820 in WV, and died June 05, 1876 in VA).
