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

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."

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."
