Thanks for the info, Sharon. David H reminded me of something while I was talking with him, that he has told me before (must have forgotten to take handwritten notes). David is like a history class. Cresap was supposed to have gotten land from the Indians through his own treaty. He was into trading and establishing trading posts. The land would have included the southwest area of PA (the disputed land between PA and VA) and a large part of WV down to Hacker's Creek area. So, some of those settlers may have had connections to Cresap. Hope when David sees this posting, he'll weigh in. Diana

Now that's interesting!  We don't hear enough from David...    ________________________________ From: Diana Johnson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, January 8, 2010 2:42:03 PM Subject: [HCGS] Fayette PA to Harrison WV Thanks for the info, Sharon.
