Elijah Seamonds, who was born in Albemarle County Virginia, came to Cabell County at an early date. He was the son of Ephriam Seamonds, who served in the Albemarle Militia during the Revolutionary War and died in 1801.
Elijah Seamonds married a Keeton, sister to Mrs Justine Keeton Sandridge, wife of Reubens Sandridge, who were early settlers in Cabell County, and it has been said that the two families came to the county at the same time, as they both lived near Barboursville, one on Mud River, and the other on Merritts Creek, a tributary of Mud River.
Elijah Seamonds was one of the early school teachers, and was a man of influence in his day. He had a number of children; among them being William R, and Elijah G, Jr, who lived near Davis' Creek.8 Hardesty's West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia, Jim Comstock, Hardesty's West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia

Joan, The connection I have found is Elijah Grant Seamands to Lucy Sandridge m 13/Oct/1798. There is still a debate going on about this. Al

Al, Has the debate settled on who Elijah Grant Seamonds' father was? I'm pretty sure it WASN'T Ephraim Jr. I live in Albemarle County, let me know if I can look anything up for you. Joan Graves

Joan, Debate seems to have settled on Jonathan b. 1756 as father, brother of Ephraim Jr. Al

...Elijah and Lucy had 6 sons that I know of - Enoch (my ancestor), William, Elijah II, Payton, Charles, and Henry. I have most of this family's descendants. Do you have the ancestors of Lucy beyond her parents? I will send whatever you want from the Seamands family by return attachment.Al (in Baltimore MD)

Harriett, I found out today that my Sarah Henderson Simmons (married James Brammer) was most likely the dau of Elijah Grant Seamonds and Lucy Sandridge/Sandage. I think you just might have nailed it home when you stated Stephen Sandridge was married to a Sarah with surname most likely being Henderson. I have always thought that my Sarah's middle name was from an ancestor's surname. Any help to further prove this lineage would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance......Diana

Good news: I have solved the great mystery of why many of us have no record of this woman. Bad news: She isn't a Sandridge at all. Lucy Seamands was a KEATON.
Refer to the following:
BOOK
George Selden Wallace, Cabell County Annals and Families (Seamonds), Pg 484-485, Cabell Co Public Library, 455 Ninth Street, Huntington, WV 25701, 1001008985.
Her sister Justine Keaton married Reuben Sandridge (son of Stephen), and I bet people assumed both sister's last name was Sandridge, but it was Justine's married name. So Lucy's maiden name was Keeton, not Sandridge at all, that's why we can't find her.

I have the children of Elijah Grant Seamands (Rev.) and Lucy "Sandridge". Can you take a family tree maker file? Also, have a problem that some are indicating that Lucy's real maiden name is Keaton??? Can you help. I can take attachments in Word or Family tree maker.

Diana: Enoch, son of Elijah Grant Seamands Rev., married Ruth Brammer (I have pictures). If Sarah married James Brammer, it must be brother, sister, sister, brother marriages between the Seamands and Brammer families. Do you have info on Brammer ancestors? I have it if you need it. Al
