About Joseph Cunningham, Armeda's father:
Joseph Cunningham
From: History of Ritchie County (West Virginia) page 286 (scroll down)

Joseph Cunningham made the first improvement on the head of the stream, on the T. J. Hartman farm.  We learn that he never owned this land, that it belonged to the Maxwells at this time.

He was a nephew of Thomas Cunningham, being the son of his brother, Benjamin.  He married Miss Jane Malone, sister of John and James Malone, and was the father of Mrs. Tabitha (Israel) Davidson, of Spruce creek; Benjamin, of Missouri; Findlay, of Ohio; Mrs. Sarah Quinn, and Mrs. Elizabeth Quinn, both of Iowa; Mrs. Priscilla Kenney, of Missouri, who later became Mrs. John Miller, of Ohio; Mrs. Amanda _____, of Missouri; and Robert, of Ohio.

After residing at a number of other points in this county, Mr. Cunningham went West, but finally returned to the home of Israel Davidson, of Spruce creek, where he found a final resting place, beside his wife.
