I found a Tuckwiller Spring in Greenbrier, and the story of the Tuckwiller Tavern at http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/greenbrier/75001891.pdf The name Tuckwiller is definitely associated with Greenbrier: "John TUCKWILLER, one of Greenbrier's thrifty and industrious German settlers, arrived with his wife, Catherine (RIFFE) and their children, about 1776." But looking at the counties' history, I found: "WEST VIRGINIA COUNTIES 1778 - Greenbrier, the third oldest county in West Virginia, the offspring of Montgomery and Botetourt Counties VA, received its name from the abundance of green briers lining the Greenbrier River Banks 1799 - Monroe, the offspring of Greenbrier County, named in honor of James MONROE, the fifth President of the United States. Rehabath Church, erected in 1796, the oldest Methodist Ch7urch west of the Allegheyn Mountains, is in Monroe County." - Giliane -----Original Message----- From: alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Howard Kuhn Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2008 10:08 AM To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [A-L] ... Bischwiller Are you sure about a community named Tuckwiller existing in Monroe County, in southern West Virginia?  Having lived in West Virginia for almost 40 years, I had not heard of it.  Moreover, on official web sites for Monroe County, I could find no incorporated or unincorporated community called "Tuckwiller."   However, the name "Tuckwiller" is not unheard of in the state.  A prize-winning reporter and writer for The Charleston Gazette is named Tara Tuckwiller.  But I would say the name is far from common, appearing most often in the capital city of Charleston and in Lewisburg, which is in Greenbrier County, site of the upscale Greenbrier Resort.  --- On Sun, 11/2/08, Eddie Howard <swvaroot@pemtel.net> wrote: From: Eddie Howard <swvaroot@pemtel.net> Subject: Re: [A-L] ...

It's a area with high German pioneers settling during 1770-1800 . It is part of the Great Valley of Virginia where PA "Dutch" moved South. Thanks. -eddie
