    3. Good Morning: I've come across a reference to a two volume publication called "Private Cemeteries of Brooke County WV" and was wondering if any one knows about it and how valuable it might be. Also, is there a book for wills/ probates after 1849? Specifically, I'm on the trail of two people: John Brownlee died 7 June 1852 and Henry Maxwell died 11 May 1854. Obits/wills/probate records/where buried. Also, has anyone ever heard of a Philip Dodridge who was a minister? I have pension papers showing that he married ancestors 1806 in Wellsburg. He may have married others for whom we have no marriage dates. The only one I can find was a lawyer. There supposedly was a "doddridge meeting house" somewhere proximate to Wellsburg with a burial ground. The Doddridges in records appear to be Protestant Episcopals or Methodist Episcopalians. The Maxwell family had been for generations seceder Presbyterians. Don't know about the Brownlees. Would appreciate any help anyone can offer on advancing my research. Had hoped to get to Brooke county this summer but it didn't work out. Josette Maxwell Boone NC
