"In 1798 Andrew Lykens, of Kanawha county, purchased 100 acres, the lower half of this survey, from Collins. In 1807 he bought the other 100 acres, the upper half." Then says he sold the lower half to his brother, John, and increased his own holdings to almost 500 acres with purchases from a Jesse Buffington. It mentions a wife, Rebecca and in 1836 Andrew and Rebecca Lykens moved to Randolph Co., Indiana conveying 193 acres to John Lykens, Jr. and in 1842 Andrew sold 213 acres to Rich Woodrum. It talks about John Lykens and wife Polly. John died about 1824. Then it mentions that Andrew and John were probably from around Ansted and before that from Botetourt Co., VA. Their name was also spelled Lynkins. Hope this was helpful. Susan

There should be Likins/Likens on Loup Creek. Linda

I found some information on my Lively relations who lived around Paint Creek in this book. Darlington's other book, A Record of the Early Settlement of Lower Loup Creek Fayette County, WV 1798 - 1865 lists about 75 surnames and gives a rich history of the Loup Creek area but does not include Paint Creek, Town Creek, or the Horse Creek area that my family is from. It summarizes in brief the first settler, first land owners, first mill and schoolhouse, etc. , and similar topics at the end of the book. The book itself is 68 pages long. Susan

I'd also like to add the book only covers families that lived "in the Loop" of Fayette Co., that is the Dunloup and Loop Creek area, mostly Loop Creek, Laurel Creek, Beckwith (the Fayetteville District) it seems to me.

I do know there is a copy of this book in the public library in Raleigh County, Beckley, WV but it is for reference only and may not be checked out. It's a thick book with lots of information. I do not live in WV but have visited there often. Perhaps you could hook up with someone in the area. Susan

Please check to see if there are any Hall's in your book Cabins of the Loup. My Meredith Hall was born in Fayette Co about 1810-30. Thanks Caroline purple08@aol.com

Are there anything on Peter Likins in the book. I am enterestrd on the families around him. I can not find what the maiden name of his son David,s wife Mary. Linda

Hi List, I have a photocopy of the following: Excerpts from CABINS OF THE LOOP AND ENVIRONS OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF FAYETTE COUNTY VIRGINIA (NOW WEST VIRGINIA) by L. Neil Darlington, December 1987, McClain Printing Company, Parsons, West Virginia, 1988: "INGRAM (INGRAHAM; INGHRAM) (p. ?) James Ingram, whose wife was Margaret, daughter of John and Elizabeth Kincaid, probably settled on Loup Creek about the same time as James Kincaid, or soon after. The place he selected was at the mouth of a branch three miles farther up Loup Creek than Kincaid's cabin. The branch is now called Ingram Branch. The 120-acre tract, including Ingram's improvement, was patented by his sons, Robert and Matthew, in 1843, several years after the settlement. Whether this James Ingram is the same settler whose name was given to that other Ingram Branch opposite Cane Branch on New River has not been definitely established. The family of James and Margaret Ingram consisted of John, Matthew, Robert, Ruth and Cynthia. John and Matthew removed to Poca River. Robert married Hulda Johnson and lived at the Sonny Kincaid site, which was a part of the 120-acre grant of which he had become the sole owner." Can anyone tell me when James Kincaid settled on Loup Creek? I'd like to put a closer date on when my James Ingram moved from Greenbrier Co. (he sold a piece of land "on Meadow River and Swel on ridge opposite Buffaloe Lick" in that county in 1812) to the Loup Creek area. Cathy

Thank you both Lorna and Sharon for the census information on Irvin as well as his father and brother.

Hi List, Hoping that someone can help me with the 1880 census of Fayette County. I have a photocopy of a page from a book with 1880 census listings (may be index to 1880 census of Fayette County) but it looks like the person who made the copy spliced in the information on Irvin Ingram: V009 ingram(?) Irvin W M 35 Blacksmith WV WV WV Mary M. W F 31 Wife Keeping house VA VA VA Octavi D W F 14 Dau At home WV WV WV Laura B. W F 12 Dau At home WV WV WV Harriet F. W F 9 Dau At home WV WV WV Note that Irvin is listed on this page as "ingram(?)". I also have K036 Ingram Robert (father of Irvin) and K037 Ingram, W. P. (brother of Irvin) and their families on the same photocopy but Irvin's information seems to have been copied in under Robert and William Preston. There are three children listed below Harriet F. but I do not know if they belong to the Irvin Ingram family: John M. W M 8 WV WV WV Sarah F. W F 7 WV WV WV Mary S. W F 1 WV WV WV The next family is S038 Innis, Sherod(?). I do not have access to census data and hope that someone will be able to help me out here. I would like to know if there were only three children listed or if the next three also belong to the Ingram family. Irvin Ingram was a grandson of James Ingram and Margaret Kincaid (d/o Thomas Kincaid and Elizabeth Hannah Gillespie). Thank you, Cathy
