On the 1910 census the mother is showns as Luella M.

Additional children

Willis age 11

Probably you are not going to find records of birth. Many states did not start recording vital info until the first part of the 20th century. Once they did a lot of people who were born at home or died at home did not get recorded.

MacDalena age abt 11

George W age 7

Mary N age 3

Also in household Estella Chase age abt 3
She is listed as a granddaughter

If you have one line in WV you probably have more. The state of West Virginia put some vital records on-line. You can see them at
