The USGS at http://geonames.usgs.gov/gnisform.html has Middle Island Creek in Pleasants County, WV. Not Doddridge County. There is no Middle Island Creek in Pennsylvania. But that is not to say that there never was. As for Clarksburg, it exists in BOTH PA & WV. There are quite a few JOHN MCINTIRE/TYRE in the state during any given time period. Kentucky has a rather gruesome account. One McIntyre attack may have "merged" with another over time. Primary sources for either state could prove interesting. Dee
