At Red House you can continue on US 50 to Parkersburg, WV and the Ohio River. Turn North and West an you go to Oakland, MD and if you continue West you hit the Cheat River which runs into the Monongahela River which becomes one third of the Ohio River at Pittsburg, PA. Follow Keyser's Ridge North until you hit the National Road or US 40 an go West and you hit the Ohio River at Wheeling, WV You could also float down the Yough. River and do the same thing. The oldest communities in the area were in what is now southern PA. but was Western Virginia then. Others migrated west from Cumberland, MD. > "Maria E.
