Posted on: Jackson County, WV Bios Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/JacksonBios/172 Surname: CHEUVRONT, LOCKHART, SOMERVILLE ------------------------- This sketch taken from "Pioneers of Jackson County", by John House, it appears in the section "Middle Sandy Valley". Another pioneer on Left Fork of Sandy was Isaac Cheuvront, who came to Jackson County in 1831. He lived at a little village long known as Buttermilk Station, a name bestowed on it when it was a logging camp and sawmill site, about 1870. When the timber had "fled the country", and an oak or poplar tree had become a curiosity, the name remained , and the name of "Buttermilk" is even now far better known than the more dignified one of Lockhart. Isaac Cheuvront was born August 24th, 1802, and died March 22nd, 1896, aged ninety three years. John Somerville, James Somerville, Andrew Somerville, Isaac Lockhart, A.J. Somerville were all prominent citizens on the head of the creek. Turkey Fork is a small stream not so large as the Right Fork of Reedy, but there are bottoms thirty to fifty rods in width, and the hills appear to lie well. The quality of the soil is probably not the best, on the main stream. At the head of the creek, and where its branches reach up among the spurs of Limestone ridge, the hills are high and steep, and the soil is very fertile.
