I have noticed that many of my families migrated to the Lincoln County area during the mid to late 1860s. I know that Lincoln did not become a county until about 1867. But people seemed to have migrated to the area in the mid 1860s. Some of my families came from Roane County, others from Gallia County Ohio and lots of them from Kanawha County into Lincoln County. What was the attraction to get them to move into Lincoln County? Pat
