Eighteen Mile Road refers to the road that runs along Eighteen Mile Creek. There are many branches of Eighteen Mile Creek, but it was probably a road that ran along the main branch of Eighteen Mile Creek. This covers about 6 or 7 County Road today. I believe that one of them today is also refered to as Eighteen Mile Road. Did you mean to say that you found them in the 1930 census? I have some information on some Coulter's (that is how they spell their name today) that are from the Clay County area back in the 1800's. They married into my family a few times. This could have been one of their descendants. Maybe if you check the Clay County Census Records for 1920 or earlier you may find them. Let me know if I can be of more assistance.

I could not find what county Krawley was in. I did find six Ethel Blankenship's in West Virginia so I need some kind of age for her. Donna

I'm using Ancestry.com, but thought maybe someone with a different index might have something that might help - or something I've not tried. I just had a breakthrough and found ancestors in the 1830 census. The census taker had written in the margin, Eighteen Mile Road. I've looked in the 1920 census, and can't find any of the people on this page. Is it possible that this is one of those hollows that the 1920 census taker didn't go into? I didn't know if anyone was familiar with the lay out or not. The family I found: David M. Colter Head 53 Betha Wife 33 John A Son 11 This was a great find because I had little information on John A, so I wasn't sure when he was born. The family spells the name COULTER now, so not sure why this was spelled like this. Also, the death certificate has Beethe instead of Betha.

Sherry, There were three Ethel Hanna's in Greenbrier in 1930, one was 18, one 34 and one 39. I can send you the scans if you would like. I'm not sure I understand the significance of her mother in the question--did you expect to find the mother close by? Or would it be Ethel Blankenship in the census?
