With the evacuation of the Indians from all but the extreme sections of NW Ohio, the northern, eastern and southern sections of the state were opened up to white settlement. In the earliest days there weren't many roads, mostly just old Indian trails and such, and many of those ran through Virginia and into southern Ohio. I wonder if many of our ancestors just settled in the first place they came to once they crossed into the Ohio territory. And not only that, but they were probably aware of the fact that the Ohio was to be the center of their commerce world for decades to come. The railroad did not actually enter Gallipolis until post Civil War, and the canal came down to Portsmouth. In some instances we may never know what really brought our ancestors here, but even if they didn't come with other family, perhaps they came with friends, or not so near relatives that we just haven't found the connection to, yet. The other thing is that once people arrived in a specific location they tended to write home, many wrote home telling about the wonderful soil, and about large tracts of farmland for sale, or the fact that it wasn't as frontier as many thought because river traffic supplied all the wants and necessities of the civilized world. New York, Pittsburg, New Orleans, etc. These letters were generally shared with family and friends of the recipient and thus again people chose to move to better their position in whatever area they were interested in (better farmland, social connections, commerce, etc). Personally, I don't think age really made that much of a difference, especially if the newcomer was moving into the town rather than the country. Being a river town, Gallipolis winters far better than the mountains of western Virginia (think Snowshoe ski resort in Pocahontas County), as well as the mountainous terrain of Greenbriar and Monroe County. Unless one likes to ski, Gallia County is much nicer in the winter. :-) If one looks at the Virginia Formation maps for various years one'll see that Monroe, Greenbriar, Bath, and Botetourt, and Augusta Counties were all formed (though still changing boundaries), and those are all the counties that most of us can connect back to through our Gallia ancestors. Allegheny County didn't come into existance until 1822. http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps/va_cf.html Most of those counties connected up with the various trails that lead into the once forbidden lands, prior to the great American war for Independence. There are so many reasons why our ancestors might have moved, and I pretty much gave up speculating on that once we set sail for America.

New York, Pittsburg, New Orleans, etc. Leave it to my husband to always have another answer. :-) Yep, not only did the Ohio bring things to Gallia County, but it also took things from Gallia County. All those farmers with crops and livestock had a means of getting their things to market, and the river was much easier than overland through the mountains. The National Road (US Rte. 40) was one of the first improved roads in the US, and it wasn't started until 1811, and didn't reach Wheeling until 1818. So we're talking pretty primative to anything we're used to by today's standard.

Instead, I sent Mary Lee a Word document that contains everything I know about it and have given them permission to copy it and put it on a table for attendees to pick up. I also suggested that they can lay my book out on the table for anyone to look at. The last I heard, the article is also going to be published in the Glade in the upcoming future. So, all you who won't be able to attend the gene fest who want to know about publishing with Lulu, pay up your dues so you don't miss the article. :-) Anyway, again, I apologize, but this year I've taken a few hits with my health, and therefore did not commit myself to the gene fest this year. Between surgery for basel cell carcinoma on the nose, a possible torn meniscus in the knee (waiting to see if I need an MRI), and a sensitive tooth where I just had a crown put on two weeks ago, and a husband who will have our car at Gettysburg, PA this weekend... I just wanna stay home with the dog and cat, and nurse myself for a while. :-) But if anyone has any questions that aren't answered in the handout/article please feel free to contact me. Everything I know is in the article, but I'll try and see if I can help. BTW, I was told by the staff of the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal that my Letters from the Homefront, Geo. W.

I have always wondered why my 68 year old ancestor, Daniel Northup, would keep moving until he finally landed in Gallia County in 1806. Daniel was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. He served in the State Troops as a Sgt. during the Revolution, which from my research thus far indicates that he didn't leave RI during the Revolution but fought in the battles in RI. Somehow ca 1778 he married a widow from Caroline County, VA and moved to Botetourt County, VA as I find him 1782-1787 on the tax list there with 7 children and a slave. In 1791, his son, Hampton was captured by the Indians during a raid near the fort at Point Pleasant. Eventually the boy was returned to the family when they learned where he was from a travelling preacher. Next I know they are living in Marietta and he appears on the tax roll in 1800 which means that he came in 1795. Daniel was one of at least 8 children that I know of--and the last male born---he did not inherit anything from his father's estate and had no choice but to "tough it out" as a pioneer.

Folk that were there ended up in any of 4 counties when the lines were drawn and redrawn. I've not found any records of this place, but by "quaddrangling" early records, looking at The History of Hanging Rock, and some cemeteries one can deduce which families likely as not settled there first and were later identified with one of the counties. The family I work on, as you know, is the Rickabaughs. They came out of Pennsylvania and some moved to Virginia and were horsemen. Scant records put three brothers in the area of Jackson in 1803. Later, in 1810 and 1812 you see Adam and John in Gallia County, along with their sons. Another possible brother, Reuben, is found in Jackson records, and possibly another, Peter, is seen in Ross. This is all very circumstantial and speculative. But I find similar patterns with other families (Martin, Buffington, Graham, Dixon, others). The folks weren't looking to settle Gallia County, they were looking to make a living selling beef and horses to the salt industry; they just happened to find themselves in one county or the other when the lines were drawn later. Hope this helps a bit. -- Marty Cassidy On the Road, USA ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:29:13 -0600 From: Marty Cassidy <marty@martincassidy.com> Subject: [OHGALLIA] Admin Hat On Now To: ohgallia@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <48618349.7020403@martincassidy.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I see a massive number of subscribers being unsubscribed for refusing email from the list.
