Where is NE Corner of Urbana & Yankee Streets, Wellsburg - was Tweed & White before 1880? I found Yankee on the map but not Urbana. Has it been renamed since the mid 1800s? http://www.irishgenealogy.com/biography/white/thompson.htm FROM THE HISTORY OF THE PAN HANDLE, PAGE 328 TWEED & WHITE ON THE NE Corner Urbana AND YANKEE STREETS. HE IS ALSO ENGAGED IN BOATING ON THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RIVERS AS FAR AS NEW ORLEANS. HE BECAME ONE OF THE PIONEER BUSINESS MEN OF WELLSBURG. HE PURCHASED LAND THERE IN 1846, HOWEVER, BELIEVE HE MAY HAVE BEEN THERE 1833 OR BEFORE. I went to Brooke County Cemetery today and found grave markers for Thompson White, his second wife, and daughter Mary child of his first wife, Martha Curry. I will be in the general area until September 16 and would like to find the corner of Yankee & Urbana where Tweed & White was located. --------------------- DEEDS: Jacob White/Elizabeth, Brooke County, W.

VA May 10, 1856, Book 18, Page 324 (Jacob and Elizabeth WHITE are Thompson WHITE's parents - I haven't found reason to believe they moved to Brooke Co. W. VA. even though it wasn't very far, the deed might be a result of their investment in their son's business? This deed has same date as "Steam Mill" below.)
