Pearl Twigg aka Genieva Pearl Twigg goes from Cumberland to tour Washington in 1905. I believe Pearl is in the seat above the "W" in Washington. She was born April 9, 1884 in Springfield, West Virginia to Daniel Chapman and Mary Emma (Willison) Twigg. She first married Harry C. Mullikin/Milliken on May 18, 1916. I believe that she was a witness for her first cousin, Rev. Daphne, and Rev. Oliver Brann's wedding on October 15, 1916 in Cumberland. Pearl second married Edgar Overton Barrett on June 16, 1920 in Frederick County, Maryland. Pearl and Edgar hosted the first ten years of the Oliver and Mary Ann Stalling's descendants Reunion at their home on Green Ridge, Allegany County, Maryland. She died December 24, 1987 at Cumberland and is buried at Hillcrest Cemetery.

Agnes Twigg was a Salvation Army soldier in the early 1900's. She was born at Oliver's Grove near Spring Gap, Maryland but worked for the Salvation Army in Kentucky. She met her husband, Rev. David Moreland who was also a Salvation Army soldier and they married in Findlay, Ohio in 1905. They were occupied with evangelizing and religious life for the rest of their days.

David Moreland was the first pastor for the North Cumberland Assembly of God Church which formed in 1915 and was incorporated in 1917. Agnes father, Horace Twigg, and her brother-in-law, Augustus Heinrich, were founding members and signed the incorporation papers.

Agnes or Mary Agnes Twigg was born in 1881 and died in 1967. She was a daughter of Horace R. and Lourenna (Middleton) Twigg. Her line is Mary Agnes Twigg> Horace> Oliver> John McElfish Twigg> John> John> Robert of Antietam.
