Hello everybody, Penny asked for a couple of quotes regarding her BROWN relatives... At this point, in 1901, grandfather's family moved to Cannonsburg and set up to operate a general store in a brick building, and he was describing the area: Page 202: "Across the road, in front of the brick store, Uncle MIKE O'BRIEN lived in a two story loghouse with his family - JOHN, BRIDGIE, MAGGIE, MIKE, KATE - MAYME and DAN all grown. Their barn was west of their house on their triangular piece of land of about five acres. EASTHAM's lived in the n. e. corner ofthe Pike Crossing in front oftheir store. WILLIAM H. NUNLEY & wife east of EASTHAM's on the opposite side of Marsh Run. J. M. 'BABE' ROSS east of NUNLEY's on opposite side ofthe creek and Catlettsburg Pike and his barn across the road north of this house. West of the Brick was CLARENCE HANDLEY's blacksmith shop & his residence, with W. H. NUNLEY's steam grist mill, north and west, on the bank of the creek; Mrs. AMANDA BROWN's residence; WILLIAM HANDLEY's residence and ALBERT JORDAN's under a big maple tree." The following are some more excerpts regarding the same thing: Page 206: "Marsh Run is a small stream that runs west through Cannonsburg and empties into the East Fork of Little Sandy River about a mile away........... East of Cannonsburg on the Catlettsburg Pike, J. M. 'BABE' ROSS lived on the old Becker farm which stretched east about a mile on both sides ofthe Pike and adjoined the lands of JAMES COLLINS and IKE O'BRIEN. On the Pike were the lands of JOHN BROWN, Mrs. HALLEY, WILLIAM SPARKMAN and on the hill, WADE KIRK." Hope that is helpful, Penny. Kay
