Hello Meledie, Thank you for the compliment on the site. I'll add your surnames (BOSLEY, JOHNSON/JOHNSTON, & DAVIS) to the appropriate page. Regarding Cross Creek - http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvbrooke/pfister.htm is the link for the same cemetery which has several different names over the years. It was located on grist mill property and named by the owners at the time. One very distant elderly cousin also called it Sanders Mill cemetery - but I wonder if the mill further down the road would have confused her. I've never seen your surnames listed in Cross Creek's listing. But that cemetery has many more depressions lacking headstones. The Brooke Historical Society has a wonderful cemetery survey site. http://www.brookecountywvgenealogy.org/cemeterieshome.html At the bottom of this web page, you can select the appropriate cemetery survey. Listed is a Cross Creek Tent - http://www.brookecountywvgenealogy.org/CROSSCREEKTENTCEMETERY.htm and you can compare the surveys to the Brooke GenWeb page - http://www.brookecountywvgenealogy.org/crosscreek.htm And as someone reminded me before with a similar question - also check Ohio's Digital Shoebox. http://www.digitalshoebox.org/ At the moment, I can't get the Steubenville/Jefferson County Library Collection to load properly - might try later. Richard Roe's encyclopedia of surveys (approx. 37 volumes of cemeteries on both sides of the Ohio River) are included in this on-line collection which includes cemeteries in the WV panhandle as well as Jefferson County, OH. His work from the 1990s is rarely acknowledged. And I want you to know he never drove around our valley - walked to all these places and copied the headstone inscriptions onto a small notepad. Then entered it at home on into a database and freely shared the material with the Jefferson County Chapter, OGS as well as Schiappa Library. And now it's included with the Digital Shoebox - lacking his name. Regarding Twps vs. Districts. WV has districts, while PA & OH have townships. Basically serving the same purpose. As for District, I think you need to look over the images of the census closely and find a names place. I have census records that supply #2 & #3 for Wellsburg - but all my copies always supply a given named place - such as Buffalo, West Liberty for example. Any deed records of the family would also pin point just where they lived. Good luck, Julia A.
