In a court record from Melba Pender Zinn it says "the road leads from Mr John RIGHTMIRE'S Tavern to Mr Thomas BUTLER'S Mill. in 1802 is this likely to mean Tavern as we think of a Tavern today or something else entirely ? This was in Monongalia County and now part of Preston County ..I would be interested in anything on this John Rightmire as well as a James Rightmire and Robert Rightmire who were in this area in that time frame.
