>From my New and Complete Gazetteer of the United States, 1854: "Grave Creek, a thriving postal village, capital of Marshall county Virginia....situated on the left bank of the Ohio 12 miles below Wheeling. It is divided into two distinct villages, of nearly equal size, namely Elizabethtown and Moundsville...The name of the post office is Grave Creek....." This could explain why there may be a question of the correct name of the place of birth. Bob Buckler
