Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/1948 Surname: Knopp Staats ------------------------- I've heard the story about 20 times from different sources. I think that House had a version of it in his notes that he wrote back about 1900. Another version appeared in the Jackson County Family history book that came out about 10 years ago.
