Book Description
In 1750 a young man boarded a boat traveling alone from France to America. He became friends with a family traveling to America from Germany. During this 6 month journey, he and the young lady of the family he befriended fell in love and married after their arrival to this new country. In France the Shomo name is called "Chaumontet," and Joseph Chaumontet Shomo married Anna Maria "Fricker" from Germany. He, this couple's sons, her brother and others fought in the Revolutionary War for our freedoms. This family first settled in Berks County, PA and attended church near the Reading Railroad. They started their own business. Many of their offspring moved to Shenandoah County, Virginia. From Virginia, some of this family moved to the part of Virginia which later became West Virginia, and many of their descendants fought in the Civil War and many other wars for our freedoms. The descendants who lived in Rowtown (Junior) and Belington in Barbour County, West Virginia were influential in becoming mayors, organizing banks, theaters, coal miner workers and some owned coal mines. Many of these family members were the "pillars of their communities." Some were teachers, postmasters, ministers, farmers, blacksmiths, business owners, home makers, carpenters. Many were members of the Knights of Pythias. Many raised large families. One descendant, Peggy Shomo Joyner wrote a book called "Ancestors and Descendants of Joseph Shomo (Shammo), Immigrant to Pennsylvania, 1750." This book had 439 pages, was published by Gateway Press in 1983, original from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. This book is now out of print. All of the information in this book is a big help to those of us who want to learn more about our Shomo family. Now Stella (Phelps) Forinash has written this 414 page book called "Roots of a Family from West Virginia the "Shomo" Family and is working on another book called "Shomo Family Book 2 - From France and Germany to the USA." Stella was born in Taylor County, WV and lived in Philippi, Barbour County, WV from 1952-1963. Stella is the daughter of Robert I and Vernie B (Shomo) Phelps and the granddaughter of Eugene and Stella (Cross) Shomo. These books are naming the thousands of Shomo descendants from West Virginia and other states with some photos and obituaries which various family members have shared with the public. It is just another tool in our journey to learn more about our family. Stella and her husband, Ken visited Reading, PA in Berks County and New Market, VA in Shenandoah County in 2017. In 2018 Stella fell and broke bones in her left hand while typing and writing this book and was wearing a cast on her left arm. The actual credit for these books go to all of the Shomo descendants who share photos and family information in person, in family Bibles, on Ancestry, Find a Grave, on the Internet, in books, on Facebook as well as to our country's US Federal census records, military records, passenger and Immigration Lists Index from 1500s to 1900s, tax records, church records, public school records, wills, state and county court records, obituaries, etc. Modern DNA is now proving even more about our ancestry. All credit goes to our Creator and His team.

Book Description
Book 2 is about the life of Joseph de Chaumontet Shomo who came from France to the USA settling in Berks County, PA in 1750. He married Anna Maria Fricker who traveled with him on the same boat. She was born in Germany, and they became the parents of 4 sons and 1 daughter. Three of their sons were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. One of their sons died, and Anna Maria and their only daughter died right after birth. Most of the Shomo's in America descend from the 3 brothers who fought in the Revolutionary War. One of their sons moved to New Market, Shenandoah County, Virginia and the other 2 sons stayed in Pennsylvania. You will learn more about the "Chaumont" family who originally came from Chaumont, France from the research of a mother (Stella) & her daughter (Roberta) who descend from the West Virginia Shomo's. The "Shomo" family in America is really the "Chaumont" family in France. Book 1 is the story of all of their descendants who were born in West Virginia & royalty lines as well as connections to Jamestown, VA & Bacon's Castle in Surry County, VA. This book is about their descendants who were born in Virginia, Pennsylvania and other states. From this one couple and their three sons there have now been at least 3 books written about their family in America and his family in France. Sit back, relax and read about the Shomo family, their struggles and accomplishments before graduating from life on earth and moving on to their promised land. Thanks to Ken Forinash for editing & Roberta Hill for helping with research. The name of book 1 is: "Shomo (Chaumont) Family from France & Germany to PA, VA & WV".
