is there any mention of a Jeptha Mitchener or Mitchenor living near the area? I would appreciate a look up. thank you so much. Peggy

I stated in my email its Fayette County. Fayette goes all the way down to the borderline. Also the township as I stated is Springhill from Outcrop Pa to the borderline. I will be in the hospital tomorrow til Friday so I will have my sil check her book on Point Marion. She paid $35 bucks for it so it should have when Point Marion was founded and all. She will check the names too. Hopefully if I feel up to it I will answer you next week. Gloria Wertz of Point Marion, PA Plumbers loves to tell their noisy neighbors to "pipe down."

or possibly surrounding area. Is there a Historical/Genealogy or library that carries information of the area in the early 1800's. How about cemetery's? Where are the "Cross cemetery's #1 and #2 located. Anyone know of possibly a small unnamed cemetery in the area? thanks bob e

Dallas, if you have a map of WV and PA you will see at the borderline of PA and WV Route 119. I am one mile to the borderline. Morgantown, WV starts right there. There is a panhandle as you can see on the map. I am in Fayette County and live in Springhill Township. Point Marion is a boro. A boro is smaller than a town. We have a town if you call it that. About 10 stores. These people here does not want to expand. They had a chance to build a shopping center. The seniors did not want that. They want a quiet town. They are not getting that for all the crimes we have. We have 565 people paying for water and they have amost the same amount of people with no running water. They have outside toliet. Believe me I am a Hamptonian and we do not have outside toliet there. My husband was borned and raised here. I met him at Fort Eustis, Va and I was born and raised there and we moved here in 92 when he retired. I do not know when this place was formed but I do know its late 1700. I have info on his ancentors from back then. They were living here in Point Marion. Point Marion was not on the map for a very long time till I complain. Its there now. People depends on map to show where these places are and how to get there.. The council agree. I do not know a whole lot about Point Marion for they are really strange people. You know if I see someone knocking on your door, I will come out in the open and stand there til they open the door or they go away. That's a crime watch. But not here. They don't want it. They are scare. This is about all I know about Point Marion. My sil has a book on earlier times but I never did read it yet. If there is something you want me to scan or know let me know and she will read up on it for you. Gloria Wertz of Point Marion, PA Plumbers loves to tell their noisy neighbors to "pipe down."

Looking to make contact with any of the family of Hoskinson and or White the early family lived in Monongalia county possibly on a tributary of Days Run. The year would be probably no earlier than 1810. Also for the group does anyone know of any deaths by Indian attacks about 1809/1810 same area. Thank you for any help. bob e

My JOHNSON-KENNADY were there in 1820-1826 and then on ro >Morgantown in 1828. Dallas, Hope you do not mind my jumping in here! Point Marion is adjacent to Springhill Township. There's a great book on Point Marion called "Point Marion . . . from the beginning" produced by "the Community Civic Organization" and published in 2000. On page 3 this book tells us that John SADLER announced a public sale of lots there in March of 1842. His father, Jacob Sadler had purchased this land from John WILSON in 1801. A few Sadlers are buried in Fletcher Cem., on Morgans Run Road, in Mon. Co. where there are also some later JOHNSONS buried. Best regards, Jane

Hi Folks, I just received the following e-mail from Lesley Shockey, the State Coordinator of the WVGenWeb: "A note of warning. The old genealogy scam is back: www.genseekers.com Behind the password protection are links to the free genealogy on-line. There is no content of their own. In order to get the "5-day free trial" you have to surrender a credit card or bank account number. You have to cancel within 5 days or you get dinged. Guess what? The cancellation e-mail bounces. Does this surprise you? One person who recently fell for the come-on had his/her account dinged not once, but twice. It is time to remind folks on your state and county mailing lists about these scoundrels. It has been a couple of years since we have mentioned this. Permission is granted to pass this on.

Most county records before 1796 were burned, but some early duplicate tax lists that were sent to Williamsburg have survived. The earliest that I have seen is 1781. The originals are in the Virginia State Library, but they have been microfilmed and can be rented from the LDS Family History Centers. Most microfilm from the Virginia State Library is also available via interlibrary loan for a small fee. Brian Brian D. Core P.O.

uce@ftc.gov won't get rid of the spam but they will know that you don't want it. I have a scanner but not sure how to scan this message but here is what the article in the paper reads: I know it is long and the article was in the Dominion Post, Morgantown, WV, Sunday, February 16, 2003. These are not my words, Ruby Casto. SPAN IS OUT OF CONTROL: Despite efforts to block it, by Jeff Gelles. Is the wall near my computer screen papered with canaries from the Internet mine shaft? I ask that question because it's covered with printouts of spam-unsolicitd commercial e-mails. Or at least I think it's spam. I can't actually read most of it, because the e-mails I've pinned to the wall are entirely in Chinese and Korean. I get plenty of spam in English, too, just like virtually anyone with an e-mail address. But the foreign-language spam raises an especially troubling question. If there are automated processors out there---"bots" in geek-speak, short for "robots" ---that are harvesting e-mail addresses and generating spam without human intervention and even without regard to whether it's intelligible to the recipient, could spam eventually grow so large that it chokes off the entire global network? Spam may not be growing at geometric proportions yet, but it's clearly out of control, despite efforts to block it. Brightmail Inc, a San Francisco developer of anti-spam technology, says spam now accouts for 36 percent of the e-mail received at the 150 million e-mail addresses it helps protect. That's up from just 8 percent a year ago. We filter billions of e-mail messages a month, says Brightmail marketing manager Linda Smith Munyan, who says her personal account would amass 100 spams a day but for her company's filters which she says are 85 to 90 percent effective. The filters work in various ways, but akey tool is Brightmail's "probe network", which Munyan says uses decoy addresses to identify spam attacks without blocking legitimate e-mails. If the decoy accounts get any e-mails at all, it's suspicious, Munyan says, though it could reflect an honest error in addressing. But if it's coming into thousands of these accounts that we've set up, that's not a typo, it's an attack. The growth of spam attacks is staggering. From July 2001 to July 2002, they grew fivefold, from one million to five million per month. A single attack can contain thousands of e-mails. Brightmail's technology is used by major corporations and leadidng Internet service providers, including Earthlink, ATT Worldnet, Verizon Online and Comcast. But if your inbox looks anything like mine, it's clearly an imperfect solution. Should government take a more aggressive approach? That step was urged last week in a petition filed with the Federal Trade Commission by three consumer groups. So far the FTC has focused on collecting examples of spam --it gets about 40,000 a day--and on pursuing individual cases against spammers for deceptive and misleading practices, such as including a bogus "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of an e-mail and using it to identify active e-mail addresses. In other, words, you ask for less spam and you get more. The consumer groups want the FTC to set clear standards for e-mail, including a rule that defines spam and deceptive and therefore unlawful. Misrepresents the sender, subject or content of the e-mail. Fails to provide reliable contact information or a reliable opt-out system. Is sent to an individual who has opted out or resigned from a senders list. "We think it's very important to have a line drawn in the sand----to make it clear to marketers what's permitted and what's not permitted, and to give consumers the same clarity, so that they can complain when they've been abused." says Ken McEldowney, executive director of Consumer Action, one of the groups urging the FTC to act. A line in the virtual sand isn't a bad idea, though it's not clear how effective such rules can be, especially with so much spam originating overseas. But there's no question that something needs to be done, or this wonderful tool called e-mail will get choked off by spam. The consumer groups' Web site is http://www.banthespam.com.

I get so much spam mail it isn't even funny. I just delete. However yesterday in the Dominion Post Newspaper, Morgantown, WV it said to forward it to: uce@ftc.gov. I sure have been forwarding a lot of Korean messages to them as I can't read a thing they say. The topic of the article was SPAM IS OUT OF CONTROL: by Jeff Gelles.

I have this spam killer and it really does what I pay for. It will help with the virus email. It kills it before I get it. That is good. I also have a virus scanner and it works also. Let me tell you when I get an email and the spam killer does not recognize it it puts a question mark on it and its up to me do what i want with it. I delete it and will not open it. But I tell you what! It has a setup where you get these spammers and it has what you call automatic abuse email. Just click away and let me tell you it pick up the addresses on those spammers.I got email where they will check off my name on their list and If I get any more its something for the web master too. At least it helps with the virus and mail I do not care to get. I hope everyone go and get the spam killer. Staples has it. Gloria Wertz of Point Marion, PA My problems today don't worry me. I haven't solved those from yesterday yet!
