I owe much to Tommie and the time he spent on this line... his connects to it also...especially as the Roach name is so prevalent... that is a name that pops up often in the Shiflett line... now if I can find my ex brother in laws line...he is a Snow whose family come from Green County and my sis said his one of his grandparents was a Shiflett.... I have a son in law who connects also... From George Washington Shiflett who married Alice Bell Shifflett...their daughter Georgia Mae married a Collier (another familiar name) and then their daughter Margaret Collier married a Ralph Woodrow Smith... their daughter Debbie is my son in laws mother...

Information on Frances Jane Shiflett
I have found the death record of her husband Adam GEAR who listed his spouse as Frances Jane Shifflet Westfall dau of Absolam Shiflett and Rhoda Ann Roach. She was NOT the dau of Mary WESTFALL. She was 7 yrs old when Absolam SHIFLETT married Mary WESTFALL.
Frances Jane Shiflett was married to Harrison WESTFALL before she married Adam GEAR. I was at the cemetery where they are all buried in Oct. and Adam GEAR is on one side of her and Harrison WESTFALL is on the other.
Frances Jane Shifflet was b.July 20, 1841 Upshur Co. WV/VA d.July 10, 1930 Mill Creek WV and is buried at the Brick Church Cememtey on July 12, 1930. The information was first found Randolph Co. Death Record LDS Microfilm # 0808241 1930-1939 Book Pg. 5 Line 18. I then went to the Courthouse in Elkins and saw the records for myself.
There has been some talk of this Frances Jane SHIFLETT being married to a Henry Ross FISHER at some time. I have not found this marriage yet. If anyone has a source for this marriage I would be most interested.
However I have seen information that Henry Ross FISHER was married to Frances Jane SHIFLETT the sister of Absolam SHIFLETT, but I've not been able to find a source for Absolam's dau Frances Jane SHIFLETT being married to Henry FISHER. Any further information would be appreciated.
Thanks, Judy Wright

Hi Bob,
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. We did.

Adam Gibson Gear b.June 11, 1846 Huttonsville, WV Randolph Co. d.January 15, 1928 Huttonsville, WV Randolph Co. buried January 18, 1928 Old Brick Church Cemetery near Huttonsville. According to his death record at the Randoloph Co. Courthous he was the son of Augustine GEAR and Frances McDonald. Also seen as Austin/Osten GEAR. My family in NC, who are doing some deep research believe the correct name is in fact Augustine GEAR. My Mother's name was Frances Augusta GEAR, after her GGrandfather Augustine GEAR and Frances. Frances Jane SHIFLETT was the daughter of Absalom SHIFLETT and Rhoda Ann ROACH, again found at the Randolph Co. Courthouse. I don't have any dates on Harrison WESTFALL b. Abt. 1842 Lewis Co. WV.. I know he was the son of John H. WESTFALL and Elizabeth ALLMAN. He is buried beside Frances Jane and Adam GEAR is on the other side. The stone for Adam and Frances is a joint stone (with Frances Janes birthday wrong) and Harrison WESTFALL's stone is small and close by. I have pictures if I ever get them developed. Harrison WESTFALL seems to have been the brother of Frances Jane's step Mother, Mary WESTFALL. People have assumed that since her marriage record to Adam GEAR shows her as Frances Jane WESTFALL that she was the dau of Mary WESTFALL. Frances Jane was 7 yrs old when Absalom SHIFLETT married Mary WESTFALL. Adam GEAR's death certificate shows the Mother of Frances Jane Shiflett being Rhoda Ann ROACH. I have not followed yet the trail to the parents to Rhoda Ann ROACH. I do know that Harrison WESTFALL and Frances Jane had 2 daughters, Rhoda Ann WESTFALL and Virginia H. WESTFALL, (I'mnot sure yet if Virginia's middle name was Hannah or Harriet), who were living in the household with Adam GEAR and Frances Jane. My next trip to WV I will be following up on these things. I was born in Huttonsville and raised in Elkins. I'm very familiar with these names and have heard many stories about these people. I would be most interested in anything you might have to help with this puzzle I've been working on for some time.
Thanks
Judy

Several days before she died she was to weak to talk ________, the last moments were calm and peaceful and she quitely fell asleep in the embrace of her loved Savior at about 5:00 o'clock _____, September 22nd. There is no doubt that her pure spirit is now in communion with her angel babe, on the Celestial Throne where she will watch and wait the coming of her beloved husband and remaining children, and if they will prove faithful to the God she loved and served so, they will meet again, and while eternity wheels its destined flight they will dwell together in sweet communion.

Senior Waynesborian Recalls Early Years
By Mike Brondoli N-V Staff Writer
Born on June 12, 1883 in the cabin that still stands at the foot of Calf Mountain, George Cleveland Shifflett is probably the oldest living resident of Waynesboro who was born here. The Shifflett's have always been a hardy lot, Mr. Shifflett says. He has two older brothers still living. And his grandfather, who lived to be 103 and taught school in West Virginia form 68 years, "walked over the mountains to see us -- when he was 77. His mother and father were "good Christian people," Mr. Shifflett says -- and energetic, "Nothing around that mountain could hold my father." The family lived in over a dozen different homes in and around Waynesboro. Mr. Shifflett recalls that Waynesboro then was nothing but swampy farmland, cattle pasture and a couple of winding streets pocked with mudholes. "It was hard to get through in a buggy." There was also the Central Hotel, several residential house and two banks in Basic City. In spite of these charms, Mr. Shifflett left his hometown to join the Marines at the age of 17 and was shipped off to Cuba and then to the Philippines. He enlisted in the army in 1908 and was discharged in 1911, and married his third wife in October of the same year in Staunton. Another attack of wanderlust rook Mr. Shifflett to South America in 1913. He and a friend started a farm. During his two-year absence. "They all thought I was dead here'" Mr. Shifflett says. The farm, however, failed and he returned to Waynesboro. During this city's formative years, Mr. Shifflett worked with civic leaders on many projects. He fought for the consolidation of Basic City and Waynesboro. And he fought to convince influential opposition that it would be advantageous and not suicidal to allow a Du Pont works to build here. He later worked for Du Pont for 21 years. Today Mr. Shifflett and his wife live at 313 Arch Ave., with their daughter, one of ten children. "I'm living in the fifth generation," he says, referring to his seven great-great-grandchildren. he has never lost contact with his youth. "I get so mad when they talk about teenagers. I like to see young people get involved. They're ina worse time than ever I lived in.

The Killing Of Page Marstiller

"We thought an awful lot of (Wilford). He should never have been hung for that. It hurt us awful. I never go through Moundsville without I think of Wilford."

The West Virginia industrial boom of the early twentieth century was a turbulent period, and Randolph County was by no means spared the multitude of problems associated with it. Troubles in the form of accidents, fires, fighting, alcoholism, divorce, prostitution, labor abuse and death were widespread during the period. In the one year span from July of 1901 to July of 1902, three police chiefs were murdered in one of the darkest chapters in the County's history. One of these sorrowful cases was the killing of Page Marstiller, Chief of Police of the City of Elkins. He was murdered by a drunken lumberman named Wilford Davis, at the jail in South Elkins. These two men had met before, on opposite sides of the law, but this final encounter would eventually spell the end of them both.
Simeon Davis, the father of Wilford Davis, was a Methodist Minister. He was born in Pendleton County about 1830, the son of Jesse Davis, and the brother of Reverend Daniel H. Davis, another Methodist Minister. Simeon Davis married first at Beverly to Mary Roy. His second marriage was on January 4th, 1876, to Hannah Shifflett. This took place at the home of Absalom Weese on Dodson Run. Simeon and Hannah Davis soon were the parents of a son, Cowen Davis. The Reverend had charge of a circuit at Beverly and Huttonsville about this period, and preached a flamboyant sermon that instilled great excitement in many of those who heard him. He preached at the church on Elliott's Ridge, and later moved to the Roane Jackson County area of the state. During this period he became the father of two more sons: Wilford, born in November of 1880, and Simeon, nicknamed "Tim," born in Roane County in 1883. About the following year, Reverend Davis died in Jackson County, although he was a resident of Roane County at the time of his death. His widow, with her three boys, returned to Randolph County and in 1895 she became the wife of Henry Harper Weese of Elliott's Ridge. By that time she had been back in the county about five years.


At some point after her return, due to her dire financial situation, Wilford Davis, a child, was living in the town of Beverly with an individual known as "Old Man" Lough. Lough lived on the main road through town at the southern end. He has been described as a contemptible old cuss, who would put Wilford to work around the place for no more pay than a few scraps from the table. He'd take Wilford to the town square and coerce him to fight with other children. It was apparently at this point that Wilford Davis began to acquire the reputation he carried the rest of his life, that of a "tough character." Old Man Lough had a high porch on his house, with a rose bush down below. At some point, tired of the abuses of the old man, Wilford threw Lough off the porch, into the rosebush. This took place about 1895.
A short distance out of town to the north, at present day Hazlewood, lived Page Marstiller, then one of the local constables. He was aged about 40, and lived more specifically on King's Run, with his wife, the former Sarah Catherine Collett, and their nine children. Sarah was a daughter of George Collett, and a granddaughter of Solomon T. Collett of Gilman. When Wilford Davis threw Lough off the porch, Constable Page Marstiller was summoned, and Wilford was sent to the West Virginia Reform School at Pruntytown. This was the beginning of the enmity between the two men. The exact date of these events is not known, but Wilford Davis was in the reform school on the 30th of May, 1896, when the news magazine of that institution covered a baseball game in which he played and won second place for catching two fly balls. In August of that year he was promoted from grade B to grade A, and on Christmas he had the recitation for that grade. In February and March of 1897 he won a good deal of praise for recitation, and on April 5th he was on the sick list. On the 24th he pitched a winning game for the Shamrocks team, and on the 26th took the active pledge in the Christian Endeavor Society. Academically he was average, scoring 15th out of 31 in the reading exam, having an overall grade of 6 out of a possible 9. He was still an inmate on August 1, 1897.
Sometime after his release, he returned to Elliott's Ridge and boarded with the family of George W. Hill, working as a farm hand. He proved to be a reliable worker, willing to follow any order, and was well liked by the members of the Hill family. They had been acquainted with Wilford Davis' parents, in fact, his father had preached the very sermon that inspired unbelieving George Hill into the Christian community. At some point Wilford was arrested and fined $2.00. In April of 1902 he was working in the area of Davis, in Tucker County, cutting timber for the Beaver Creek Lumber Company, in an area known as McCauley Mountain. It was stated, in local news coverage at the time of Marstiller's death, that as soon as Davis learned of Marstiller's appointment as Chief of Police for Elkins, he started for town to make trouble for the officer. This would appear to be the truth, as Marstiller was elected on the third of April, and Davis arrived in Elkins on the tenth. On the night of his arrival he slept at the Tremont Hotel on Davis Avenue, which was located at the present day address of Trickett Hardware. The following morning he arose at 6:00 a.m. and proceeded to "paint the town a bright vermillion."
He and one Sandy Fisher went to a saloon to get a drink before breakfast, and there they met Dave Brubaker, invited him for a drink, and the three exchanged conversation, which included news of Brubaker's son who had been killed on Laurel Mountain by a log rolling over him. Later, Brubaker told Cowen Davis that his brother was in town and inquiring for him. Cowen found Wilford at King's Saloon one of a cluster of saloons at the south end of Davis Avenue bridge. Wilford was standing by the stove talking. At some point Wilford had been to Dann's Hardware Store on Third Street, and purchased a .32 caliber Harrington and Richardson pistol for $5.00, as well as a box of cartridges. When old Mr. Dann offered to wrap them he replied, "I don't want you to wrap them up. I will take them with me. l want to use it here." He also went about town saying that if any officer tried to arrest him, he'd kill him.
The Davis brothers left King's Saloon together, Cowen trying to take Wilford to his home. When they reached the railroad, Wilford, heavily intoxicated, lay down on the tracks for a period of time, and then went back into town, going from one saloon to another, all the while Cowen was trying to take him home. He was in King's Saloon again, and when he came out Cowen made another attempt to convince him to come to his house. Wilford got angry, threw back his coat, pulled out the pistol, and fired twice into the air, more in a mischievous effort to make noise than to harm his brother.
Mayor Woodford had been informed of Davis' actions, and deputized a man named Fitzgerald to help arrest him. Woodford saw Chief Marstiller on the streets shortly afterward, and upon informing him of the trouble, warned him to take no chances in the arrest, and ordered him to first get Fitzgerald before making any attempt to take Davis into custody. But Marstiller was a zealous officer, and he hurried to South Elkins to make the arrest. Around 11:15 a.m. he found Wilford and Cowen Davis standing on the porch of Griffith's Saloon talking to Brubaker and Mart Mayo. This was at the south end of the bridge on the west side of the street, the present day location of Allegheny Apartments. Marstiller walked up, and, wearing his police badge, said to Wilford Davis, "I will have to arrest you. I am told you have a gun."

"I ain't got none," came the reply. "I have no gun."
"(I'll still) have to arrest you," Marstiller stated.
To this Cowen Davis replied, "No, I will take him home."
"No, the lockup is the best place for him," said the officer.

At that point Cowen Davis said, "(Then) I will go with you. I will help take him." Wilford Davis was searched and Marstiller motioned for another man, a Mr. Helmick, to come along, and the four started south up Davis Avenue, toward the South Elkins Jail. The jail was left over from the days when Elkins and South Elkins were two separate towns. It stood on the east side of Davis Avenue near 11th Street, where Tri County Electric is now located. About a year previous to Davis' arrest, the State Legislature had consolidated the towns of Elkins and South Elkins, but the jail of the latter place was still in use. At the door to the lockup, Wilford said to Marstiller, "Now Page, if you don't want any further trouble, let me go right here."
"I'll show you if you don't go!" replied the chief, reaching into his pockets, some say to get "the nippers" (handcuffs), or for a gun. At the same time Wilford, who had been searched, somehow produced the .32 and shot Marstiller point blank in the head, just above the left ear. Some felt that Cowen Davis had handed his brother the gun and he was arrested, taken to jail in Beverly, but released due to lack of evidence. After the shooting Wilford ran on up the street in a southerly direction, and encountered Mrs. Fred Backstrom, who was crossing the street to get water, and told her, "If you don't get back in the house I'll shoot you!" He continued to the Coal and Iron Railroad tracks at the present day location of Southern States and Hogan's Transfer, and fled to the east out the line.
J. H. Hallman had witnessed the shooting, and ran to the jail. Three or four people were already there. Marstiller was lying on his face, bleeding profusely. Someone wanted to turn him over and Hallman said, "No! He may be shot in the head, and he may strangle to death!" Doctor W. W. Golden was sent for, and found Marstiller in shock. He was taken to his home on High Street, one block behind the courthouse, and died at 5:00 p.m., An immense crowd packed the Presbyterian Church the following Sunday for the services. These were conducted at 1:00 p.m. by the Reverends Thomas, Barron, and Resseger. The Randolph Lodge #55 of Beverly and the Elkins Lodge # 108, A.F.& A.M., attended in a body, a special train arriving at 11:30 a.m. to bring the Beverly Lodge. The remains were conveyed to the Hart Graveyard at Hazlewood, and fully 500 people attended the burial. At the time of his death, Marstiller was one month away from his 48th birthday.
Immediately upon hearing of the shooting, Mayor Woodford sent a posse after Davis. They followed his tracks in the snow out the railroad to where they crossed the county road, at which point Davis had left the railroad at the first camps and waded the creek. Justice E. E. Taylor was the first to see him, sitting under a sycamore tree. When Davis saw the posse he bolted, but upon hearing some thirty shots stopped, looking into the business end of Nelson Wilson's rifle and Constable Ryan's pistol. Ryan disarmed Davis, and he was taken back to town surrounded. He was taken before Justice Taylor at 1:50 p.m. When asked about the shooting Davis stated that he'd been too drunk to know what he was doing. This point became a central issue in his trial. Meanwhile, outside, a mob had gathered, and open threats of lynching were heard. When informed of this, Davis waived hearing, and was hurried to the Belington train, by which he was taken to the jail at Philippi for safekeeping. He was convicted the following May, and in the temporary courthouse in the Opera House Building, now the Wilt Building, Judge Holt pronounced sentence. He was to hang by the neck until dead. The case was appealed and several stays of execution were granted. Finally Governor White denied further clemency, and Wilford Davis' final destiny was to die at the West Virginia State Penitentiary at Moundsville on the 5th of June, 1903.
During the trial Davis' brother Cowen was a busy man. In February of 1903 he got drunk and went to McCauley's stable on Railroad Avenue in Elkins, where he proceeded to start a fight with a stable hand. He was forcibly ejected. The next morning he procured a revolver, and returned to the stable. The stable hand saw him coming, and telephoned Page Marstiller's successor, Chief of Police John Nallen. It was necessary to club him senseless before he surrendered. He said he'd kill Chi, Nallen for this, as well as Page Marstiller's son if Wilford hanged. He was put in the Beverly jail. In March of 1903 he was still there, and a fire broke out in which seven buildings burned. Cowen Davis escaped, stole some whiskey, and fled.
While in prison Wilford Davis wrote letters to people back in Randolph County. Among these were the George Hill' family of Elliott's Ridge, and Cowen Davis. He told Cowen to profit by his example and lead a life of moderation. On the day of his execution he spent the morning reading the Bible in his cell. Soon after noon he was given a bath, dressed in black, and put in the death chamber. He had supper at 4:00 p.m., and afterward sang the hymn, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." The march ( the gallows began at 5:33 p. m., and he tossed the song book on the table. He walked up the steps bravely, taking his position on the scaffold. The chaplain told Wilford Davis that he needed his Savior at that point more than ever before and his reply was, "Yes, He is here -- bless the Lord." The trap fell at 5:36 p.m., and Davis was pronounced dead 14 minutes later. He was not yet 23 years old. It was reported in the papers that his execution was witnessed by the largest crowd ever to have witnessed an execution at that facility at that time. One person from Elkins, J. H. Wilson, was there.
Wilford's brother Cowen Davis stayed in the Randolph County area. His brother Simeon T. married at Bemis in 1910. and became guardian of Cowen's three children, Cecil, Willis, and Ethel, when Cowen died in 1913. Page Marstiller's son Stewart eventually became Sheriff of Randolph County and his widow, Sarah Collett Marstiller, lived in Elkins the rest of her life. There are still descendants of Page Marstiller living in Elkins today.

Winfred Shiflett (Huff, Randolph) 2 Jun 1918 to 18 Mar 1919 NOT CASUALTY

From Cathy Phillips
I found Winfred Shifflett married to Carrie Bolton in Marriage Register Book 11, Page 52. (His name is spelled Winford on the license but Winfred in the index) Winfred is 21 years of age, born in Randolph County, place of residence at time of marriage is Huff, West Virginia and Carrie Bolton was 22 years of age born in Barbour Co., and place of residence as Huff, West Virginia. They were married on March 13, 1913 at A. Shiflett's by G. W. Remly.

Salt Lake Tribune Article dated 5 July 1924. DIVORCE SUIT ENDS FATALLY, Husband takes own life when brooding over wife's court action.

"Winfred W. Shiflett, 32 years of age committed suicide by drinking poison at the home of his mother-in-law, Mary A. Bolton, 720 Windsor Avenue, at nine o'clock at night according to the police. He died on the way to the emergency hospital fifteen minutes after he took the acid. The act was excused by brooding over the suit for divorce filed by his wife Carrie Shiflett last Tuesday, detectives declared.
Letters were left by Shiflett, asking that his body be shipped to Mill Creek, West Virginia for burial. The home of his father, Arch Shiflett, and his belongings to be sent to his father. The message which he wished to have telegraphed to his father: The message follows: " Dear Father: I have had so much trouble in my life that I have made my mind to give life up. My last request for you all to bring me home. Don't grieve over me. Your dear son, Winfred."
Shiflett, who was a laboror, had been a resident of Salt Lake for the last five months. He was a native of Roanoke, West Virginia, and his wife a native of Fairmont, West Virginia.

Pair Awaiting Extradition In W. Va. Slaying
TENNENT, N. J. (UP)-Two men suspected of butchering a retired West Virginia farmer with a meat cleaver were held in separate New Jersey jails Sunday awaiting extradition. Raymond Taylor and C. G. Gains, both of in Englishtown, N. J., were charged with the savage meat cleaver slaying of Taylor®s 72-year-old uncle, Kenzie Taylor, last weekend at his farmhouse near Elkins, W.Va. The killers stalked their elderly victim through three rooms of his four-room, white frame farmhouse and hacked at his head 10 times as be tried to stagger wounded and bleeding away, police said. "It looked like be was attacked in the bedroom and two other rooms," West Virginia Trooper D. F. Mease said. "The house was pretty well bloodied Up." State Police at the Tennent, N. J., barracks said Raymond Taylor was arrested by a trooper in Englishtown at 12:30 p.m. Friday. Gaines was arrested Friday night in Lakewood by State Police detectives and Lakewood police. Authorities said that a meat cleaver found in Taylor®s car in Englishtown was believed to be the murder weapon.
Taylor was confined in Monmouth County Jail, and Gaines was held in Ocean County Jail, pending extradition proceedings. The elderly Taylor®s body was found Tuesday by his brother-in-law Brent Shiflett, who is near-slighted and thought Taylor had committed suicide. The body was on a bed where Taylor had fallen or been thrown. Police discounted the suicide theory Immediately upon seeing the scene of the gory crime.
It was believed robbery was the motive for the slaying. Taylor, although not wealthy, was known to carry large amounts of cash. His wallet, believed to have contained $800, was found Friday about 48 miles from the scene of the crime.
Officers said the killers apparently did not ransack the house, Police found $400 in cash in a locked bureau drawer.

Kenzie "Uncle Brent" Shiflett was the most incredible man ever to grace the planet. He had one fake eye and was blind in the other. Amazingly, he ran the only store on Jerusalem Mountain, in Mill Creek , W VA for over 25 years. Not to mention his 92 acre farm in the valley. He also read Braille and played piano for Sunday services at church. I miss him soooo much!!

Attorney for Appellee
CHIEF JUSTICE WORKMAN delivered the Opinion of the Court.
SYLLABUS OF THE COURT

1. Strictly speaking, the actual intention of a testator has nothing to do with the legal effect of his expressed intention. No matter how clearly a testator may express his intention, the legal effect which shall and must be given to it by the courts is purely a question of law.

2. In the absence of a statute to the contrary, abandonment will not bar a surviving spouse from exercising his or her right to take an elective-share percentage of an augmented estate pursuant to West Virginia Code 42-3-1 (Supp. 1992).

3. "The general rule governing the doctrine of equitable estoppel is that in order to constitute equitable estoppel or estoppel in pais there must exist a false representation or a concealment of material facts; it must have been made with knowledge, actual or constructive of the facts; the party to whom it was made must have been without knowledge or the means of knowledge of the real facts; it must have been made with the intention that it should be acted on; and the party to whom it was made must have relied on or acted on it to his prejudice." Syl. Pt. 6, Stuart v. Lake Washington Realty Corp., 141 W. Va. 627, 92 S.E.2d 891 (1956).

Workman, Chief Justice:

Kenneth B. Shiflett, the petitioner below and Appellant herein (hereinafter Appellant), appeals the January 4, 1995 and July 27, 1995 orders of the Circuit Court of Randolph County. The January 4, 1995 order granted a motion in limine to exclude any evidence that Mary Herron Shiflett, the respondent below and Appellee herein (hereinafter Appellee), abandoned her husband, Kenzie Brent Shiflett, now deceased, and it permitted Appellee to elect against her husband's will and take an elective-share percentage of the augmented estate. In the July 27, 1995 order, the circuit court further determined that the property acquired by the testator prior to his marriage to Appellee should be included as part of the augmented estate.

On appeal, Appellant argues Appellee should be estopped from asserting a right to take an elective-share percentage of the estate because Appellee abandoned the testator approximately ten years before his death. Appellee also asserts that, if Appellee is entitled to an elective-share percentage of the estate, a constructive trust should be established for "those assets . . . [the testator] acquired prior to the marriage or derived from assets . . . [the testator] acquired prior to the marriage . . ." to prevent Appellee from being unjustly enriched. For the following reasons, we affirm the circuit court's order entered on January 4, 1995, but reverse the order entered on July 27, 1995, and remand this case for further proceedings.
I.
FACTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH
STATUTORY CHANGES

Appellee married the testator on July 24, 1981. Appellant, who is the testator's son from a previous marriage,(1) alleges that Appellee abandoned his father after approximately one and one-half years of marriage and the couple lived separate and apart for the remainder of his father's life.(2) The testator died on December 30, 1992, owning both real and personal property.(3)

By will executed on November 15, 1984, the testator left his entire estate to Appellant, except for a trailer and a clock which he bequeathed to Appellee. At the time the will was executed, the dower rights of a husband or wife were barred if the husband or wife voluntarily left or abandoned "his or her spouse without such cause as would entitle such husband or wife to a divorce . . ., and without such cause and of his or her own free will be living separate and apart from such spouse at the time of the latter's death . . . ." W. Va. Code 43-1-19 (1982).(4) In addition, if the dower rights of either a husband or wife were barred "under any provision of law," neither the husband nor the wife could "have any part of the estate of the other, unless the same be given him or her by will and then only so much as is so given." W. Va. Code 42-3-3 (1982).(5) In other words, if a husband or wife abandoned his or her spouse as contemplated by West Virginia Code 43-1-19, there would be a forfeiture of rights to take any part of the estate, except what was bequeathed by the will.

In an attempt to prevent Appellee from taking any part of the estate except what was provided to her by the will, Appellant sought to admit evidence pertaining to her alleged abandonment of the testator. However, approximately nine months prior to the testator's death, the legislature passed sweeping statutory revisions to the descent and distribution provisions in the code, including the repeal of the abandonment provision contained within West Virginia Code 43-1-19. 1992 W. Va. Acts ch. 75.(6) As a result of the abandonment provision being repealed, the circuit court found the issue to be irrelevant under the statutory law in effect at the time the testator's death. Therefore, the circuit court refused to permit Appellant to introduce any testimony pertaining to it.

At the same time the abandonment provision was repealed, West Virginia Code 42-3-1 was amended. 1992 W. Va. Acts ch. 75.(7) When the testator died, West Virginia Code 42-3-1 (Supp. 1992) provided that a "surviving spouse"(8) could elect against a will and take an "elective-share percentage of the augmented estate." W. Va. Code 42-3-1(a). The percentage a surviving spouse was entitled to take was "determined by the length of time the spouse and the decedent were married to each other . . . ." Id.(9) Pursuant to an accrual schedule in the statute, Appellee was awarded thirty-four percent of the augmented estate.(10)

Appellant claims the statutory revisions unjustly reward Appellee for her conduct and undermine his father's intent as expressed in his will. In addition, Appellant maintains his father was legally blind and in poor health at the time these statutory revisions took effect and his father died approximately six months thereafter. Consequently, Appellant asserts there was neither a reasonable opportunity nor a reasonable amount of time for his father to obtain a divorce to prevent Appellee from taking any part of the estate except what he intended to give her under the will. Therefore, Appellant argues this Court should apply the doctrine of equitable or quasi estoppel to prevent Appellee from receiving a statutory share of the augmented estate or, in the alternative, set up a constructive trust to prevent Appellee from being unjustly enriched.

Upon review of the statutory provisions, we decline to apply either of these measures. As the issues raised by Appellant involve purely questions of law, our review of this case is plenary and de novo. See Gribben v. Kirk, 195 W. Va. 488, 493, 466 S.E.2d 147, 152 (1995) (stating "[t]he issues presented . . . involve questions of law; therefore, our review is plenary and de novo").

Hi Bob,
I was at the Randolph Co. Courthouse today and found the marriage record for Hugh Shiflett and his wife Pearl's maiden name was Shiflett also. [RCMR Book 20, Page 387; in 1938]. I do not know which Shiflett line Pearl comes from though.
