Wayne - this is the cemetery site I meant to send you, with the suggestion that you add your site as a link to this site. Sorry for the prior wrong link. http://www.daddezio.com/cemetery/index.html

Wayne - you should look into linking your site to this site. It has links to lots of big cemetery sites. http://www.daddezio.com/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.

Many mounds are now preserved as historical sites and have a great deal of educational material associated with them, some online. The mounds at Cahokia, IL are perhaps the best known. West Va. may also have such a site. Interestingly, a local cemetery built on an" Indian" mound in Southeast Mo., called the Mounds Cemetery, is still used, though the mounds themselves are no longer thought to have been burial sites. They are thousands of years old, pre-dating the Native American peoples of "modern" times. singhals wrote:At 10:01 AM 09/01/2002 -0500, [email protected] wrote: >Wayne >I wonder if the archeologist at your state historical society could advise >you about the Indian mounds. Since the mounds are pre-historic, there is no certainty about their origin or their builders. None of the historically indigenous tribes were mound-builders.

Wayne I wonder if the archeologist at your state historical society could advise you about the Indian mounds. Thanks for the work you are doing and the stories you tell us, makes us whose family moved on feel closer to old sod! Gayle

Greetings one and all, I did some traveling around the county today and added a few cemeteries to the list. I left Capon Bridge about 9 in the morning and headed to Junction in the western part of the county. Making a left down Rt 220 and then a left onto Trinity Rd (220/11). I travelled to the end of the road and found the John Pancake home. John was very helpful in find the cemeteries along Trinity. He showed me the Indian mound above his house and told me of the family tradition of it. Also from the road by the Indian mound, you can see off into the distance across the valley/river about 3 or 4 miles away, as the crow flies, the Pancake Cemetery. Does anyone out there know how to identify Indian mounds? I have see mounds covered with dirt and others covered with rocks. Would they be of different tribes or what? Any ideas. Next I was told of the Davy's Cemetery. I never found it, but later in my daily travels I did find out that I passed by it, but just didn't go up the right road. This cemetery was near the Forest Hill School. I will go to this cemetery in the next few day. Next I talked to a Frank McDonald and he told me of the small Taylor Cemetery on the William's farm. I also heard that at one time some individual had stolen the oldest stone from the cemetery, but it was recovered and placed back at the grave site. I was also told of the Sines farm having a cemetery on it. I didn't find that one other, but know where it is. I will also go to this one in the next few days also. Finally, I took a photo and names of the Parker Cemetery along Rt. 50 just west of Romney. Today I only got to a 10th of the cemeteries that I wanted to. I met many people today with nice long stories and plenty of help. I also learned of several unmarked gravesites at "Tom's Cabin", where ever that is. I'm sure I will never be able to find that on my own, but that Frank McDonald might take me there. So let's start a tread on the Indian Mound and how to locate or identify them.

One more cemetery on the list to chalk off to being recorded, I believe.

I've run into this many times and suspect that they are as you say, reproductions of earlier deeds. Where are the originals? Good question. I have no idea. Gary Radcliffe ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 1:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WVHAMPSH-L] Early deeds question Have been perusing copies of deeds from Pendleton County....time frame of 1780-1820. The intent was to compare signatures from deeds written in other counties. Well...the deeds in Pendleton County that I have are signed "by the same hand" that wrote the deed. If there are three signatures, all are "by the same hand." Has anyone else encountered this problem? From counties other than Pendleton? My question: Is it possible these deeds were transcribed by hand from earlier records? And if so, where are the earlier records? Thanks, Vivian

This index is available in many places. Microfilm of the Collection itself is also widely available and I have used the version at the DAR Library in Washington DC in 1973. SOME of these mss are incredibly useful information. The potential user should use caution, however -- not all the Series have been converted to print, many, and specifically Series JJ, remains in manuscript form. When I used Series JJ at the DAR Library when the microfilm first became available, I spent nearly two hours figuring out that there was no ORDER to his notes, and the next three hours "on spec". Series JJ was somewhat less productive than day-dreaming. YMMV, of course.

Some of the larger libraries should have the book "Guide to the Draper Manuscripts". It has a name index (not complete) plus being a finding aid. My local library was able to borrow the microfilm on interlibrary loan. I know that the library at Kansas University holds the collection. I attended a national genealogy conference some years ago, and heard a speaker explain that Mr. Draper believed that the southern states did not get enough recognition for their part in the Revolutionary War. He went about the south interviewing people who had either memories or family stories regarding that part of our history in anticipation of publishing the information. They explained to us that people willingly loaned him family documents, etc. and he intended to return them. However, before he was able to finish his work he died. By that time he held a high position at the Wisconsin State Historical Society, and they ended up with his collection. g2

I posted the information from Draper's "Further Materials on Lewis Wetzel and the Upper Ohio Frontier" to the Longhunters list several years ago, should be in the Roots archives. It contains the narrative of George Edgington (my family), Peter Henry, Spencer records and Stephen Burkham. Heritage books has put out a series of small books based on Draper's originals, much easier to read. This particular book begins with the capture of George Edgington by Indians which is while he was living in Hampshire Co. Allen Eckert leaned heavily on Draper's interviews for his "That Dark and Bloody River." I do know my small library has them, and sure many do, so probably could be gotten thru library loan.

I will try and email the photos to you tonight. I can leave them on my computer for a while, but in normal cases, I send them and remove them, but will leave them on my computer for a time.
