It's also 218 in PA. Anyway, my guess is that 218 would follow the route that our ancestors traveled to go to Blacksville to get married. Does anyone else do that when they are driving? Think that they are going over the same ground that their g-g-grandparents did? David said that the back road from the Meadowbrook Mall (the Summit Park Road) follows a road that was originally made for Benjamin Wilson when he was the first county clerk of Harrison County. Sometimes when we go over that road I'll mention that to my daughter. Benjamin's her ancestor on her father's side. Of course, she just usually rolls her eyes (I can hear her doing that - I keep my eyes on the road) and says "Yeah, Mom, um-hmm. That's real interesting," in a somewhat bored tone. It appears that the weather person was wrong again so I think I'll go enjoy this beautiful morning. Patricia
