Hey, Dodie; Dont forget me on your Christmas list. I would love to learn more about Harts Creek folks. My Burgess' married into the Josephus Workman family(Mary). I also know many of the older sets of creeks' folks : the Adams, Mullins,Dingess, Gore ,Brumfield,Tomblin, and Adkins'.Some day, I will get around to finding out what kin Josephus & Moses Workman were to each other, I hope.

Hi Shelby, Always good to hear from you! Sorry, I don't know much about Josephus and Mary. If memory serves, we can't actually document the brothers and sisters from that generation- just circumstanstial evidence- mostly geography. I only concentrated on my direct lines and was able to document my Workman family in both Tazewell County and in Logan County by traveling to the courthouses and spending days and weeks pouring through the musty old records. My most successful finds was to trace their land and who inherited from the estates. Sadly, some of my early lines were merchants and/or Indian traders and they didn't own land, making it harder to trace them. In those days (like today) when money or property was involved, people came out of the woodwork! That was how I documented the children of "old" Moses Workman- through his estate records. I was not able to do that with Joseph and Phoebe. I bet you and I knew a lot of the same people from "the creek." Will talk to you soon.

Vanessa, I did look at the notes, and yes, I did see the "N", as well as the "S" and the documentation is not there- mostly just notes and not everything even had sources. Of course there are bound to be mistakes in such huge databases, but thank you for "explaining" it to me. I did my research before computers and "databases" and long before the Internet. My research was based on the premise that Marie Justice used in her book, One Mullins Family: "We do ourselves and our posterity a great dis-service when we set down for fact things not thouroughly researched and not proven." Huge databases confuse fiction and ASSUMPTIONS with facts . I learned growing up in Logan County that I had enough to do to mind my own business and take care of my own family. That's what I still believe. I may sound "mean" sometimes, but sometimes the TRUTH does sound mean. I am definitely NOT one of the "wonderful ladies" contributing to and expanding Jim's LDS database. I have finally finished my book, Whirlwind In Appalachia. It is not for sale. I am sending it to family members as a Christmas present this year. I was born at Whirlwind in Appalachia and most people have never heard of it. Whirlwind is is now extinct, like the lost city of Gilgal in the Bible. According Webster's dictionary, the definition of whirlwind is "a small rotating windstorm of limited extent marked by an inward and upward spiral motion and usually with a progressive motion at all levels."

Jim, I just looked at your database and must admit that I was not surprised that it is NOT based on documented information as you promised the list. I wouldn't even begin to know where to start making corrections to my Logan County surnames. You have John R. Bryant and Elizabeth Coalter as the parents of Corbin Bryant. Would you mind quoting your source and "documentation" for that information? I have a hunch as to your "source" and I can categorically state that it is not correct. It took a lot of work and time for you to repeat the same old mistakes that have been circulating for at least a hundred years and then add someone's fantasy about John R. Bryant and Elizabeth Coalter to boot. Stan Browning had asked for my opinion on his Workman Book sometime ago. I finally downloaded his Workman book this evening and in all fairness to you, Jim, Stan should stick to telling stories about what he knows. For Stan: I do enjoy reading your stories even if they are not about Logan County. You are a very talanted storyteller, but you sure made a mess of my Workman family. Well, actually, you both did. Jim, you have my great grandfather Moses Workman (wife Polly Mullins) with two or three different sets of parents. Stan I am a Deskins descendant (Tazewell County). I have done extensive research on every Deskins family that existed prior to 1850 and there were NO Deskins families in Halifax County VA when Sarah, the wife of Thomas Workman was born. Harmon's Annals Of Tazewell Co. VA shows her as Deskins, while Netti S/Yantis shows her as Dickerson. I mentioned this to Netti the last time I talked to her (a few months ago) and she and I both agree that "someone" should check the actual record at the Tazewell County courthouse beofre anyone else publishes it. I was waiting to see what "Logan County Recreated" was all about before I contributed any of my DOCUMENTED research, but as I said, I wouldn't know where to begin making corrections. You do have dates (1700s) on your website that can be found nowhere except the Steele Family Bible that is in my possession ( I am the 4th owner). Your "source" states "donated by an LDS member after 1991" with no credit given to the people who lovingly protected it since the 1700s. I have over thirty years of research and I don't expect to live another thirty to help you correct "Recreate" Logan County, so I will just share my DOCUMENTED research with my own relatives most of whom (including my own children) don't even own computers and most certainly none of them are collecting data for LDS. I sincerely wish you Good Luck with your endeavor. May you and Stan both have many stars in your LDS crowns and may you have a blessed Christmas.

To: Any who wish to take the time to read this From: Stan Browning The following was originally written for the enjoyment of my two granddaughters. It is offered here as a nostalgic reminder to us all. Please look past the personal aspects to the descriptions that typify conditions and attitudes of the times. I wager that the Old Matheny Grade School was similar to the one that some of you attended. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SCHOOL DAYS Times were hard in Wyoming County when I became old enough that the law required that I start school. I looked forward with much anxiety for my first day of school commencing in September 1936. My mother had outfitted me with some store-bought clothes from the Montgomery Ward Catalog, which were probably the first clothes that I had ever owned that had not been home made or worn first by some other child. I was ready to show off. I guess I was fairly typical of the boys who were beginning a journey that year at the old Matheny Grade School, in Wyoming County, West Virginia, that would take us, by differing paths, from the confines of our beloved hills and hollers into a world that neither we nor our parent’s could have imagined in our wildest dreams. My home was virtually in the wilderness in the head of Coon Branch, about two miles from the school. The road that I had to walk was a sled road that ran along or in the creek bed perhaps for a quarter of a mile before joining the road down Coon Branch. In the opposite direction, the Coon Branch Road continued up over the mountain behind my grandparent’s house and down Turkey Creek. In winter the road off Coon Branch was nearly impassible to all vehicles except large logging trucks that constantly kept the mud stirred up such that it became a world-class obstacle course for those of us on foot. When ruts became so deep that the trucks’ undercarriages began to drag, the drivers simply created a new path and thus more ruts. The mud, which was impossible to avoid, came up over our shoes and our britches became caked with mud up to our crotches where our pant legs rubbed together as we walked. (I have always considered one good thing about leaving my home in West Virginia was getting away from that infernal mud.) My school clothes, which were to last all winter, included two of each: bibbed denim overalls, chambray shirts, long cotton underwear and tan, they were always tan, cotton stockings. I hated those darn stockings. They were the standard cheapies sold by Wards and were worn by boys and girls alike. I never could keep the dang things up and they were constantly slipping down over my shoe tops. Garters didn’t help. By trying to improvise a retention system I would stretch the tops of the stockings further and further and the problem became worse. Finally, I would give up and trudge home through the mud walking on my stockings, which insisted on trying to leave my feet altogether. My favorite clothing possession was my high-top boots. They looked just like Daddy’s and even had a place for a pocketknife on the side of one of them. All the boys wanted a pair just like them. My school wardrobe had to last me all winter and there were no extras. Mother was kept busy just washing, ironing and mending. There was only one change of clothes, and clothing that got wet or muddy often had to be readied for school before the next day. This was made difficult because school lasted from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon, so it was dark before I got home in the wintertime. Overalls with patches on the knees and seat were the rule, not the exception. Our cotton gloves and socks were mended, remended and kept until they wouldn’t hold a seam anymore. So I couldn’t get away from those pesky stockings by wearing them out and having them replaced with something more durable. It wasn’t long until holes began to appear from wear on the toes and heels, but mother kept sewing them up and they lived on. I remember folding the toes up over my foot to close off toe holes or rotating a stocking until a hole in the heel was on top of my foot, and then going on about my business. Since they were cotton, Mother didn’t darn the stockings, as one would do with wool stockings, but she sewed the holes shut with needle and thread, thus creating an irritating seam that contributed further to my hatred of those detestable socks. Shoes didn’t last through the winter without repairs either, and most every household, including ours, had an iron last and staff, shoe hammer and “sprigs” (brads) of various sizes, with which to half-sole the family’s shoes. Leather for that purpose could be purchased in small sheets at most all stores. Using the sprigs and hammer, a piece of leather was attached by driving the sprigs through the new half sole into and through the old original sole. The sprig points were “braded” (bent) against the iron last of the appropriate size for the particular shoe and the leather was trimmed to shape. One doesn’t know pain until he has walked in a pair of half-soled shoes with a sprig point that has not been completely bent over and it continues to dig into his foot mile after agonizing mile. A pair of three- or four-buckle, rubber arctics (overshoes) could help to fight the mud and keep our feet warm. However, they wore out quickly with constant use. When the sole of the arctic was worn through allowing mud to be pumped into the space between the overshoe and boot while walking, we had yet another set of problems. Timbermen all wore arctics, primarily to keep their feet warm. They used special sprigs with large round heads and nailed leather cleats to the sole of their arctics to enable them to get traction on the frozen hillsides where they worked. Thank God for advances in materials technology that allows us to have clothing that is so serviceable that we now throw things out or give them away because we are tired of them, not because they are worn out. It has been a long time since I have had a problem with my socks, except when they fail to match and my wife notices. Eventually the roads dried, I had more friends than I could shake a stick at, my hands and feet were warm again and school became one big adventure after another. (To be Continued)

Marcia, My GGrandfather AB Porter, also migrated from Susquehanna township, Cambria Co., PA to Logan Co., WV before 1895. He was also a timber man. He and his family stayed in Logan until most of the grandchildren left in the 1960s.

My Father grew up in the mountains but they were the ones that stretched up into western PA. We would visit his mother in the mid 1960's; they never did have indoor plumbing. My sister and I had to take our tooth brush and a glass of water, stand over the edge of the porch so we could "rinse and spit" while we brushed. The reason I am on the Logan County and neighboring county lists is that I'm looking for information on William H. Fronk, his wife Alagana Damron and children. William b. 1857 left Cambria County PA around mid 1880's, his marriage certificate in Wayne County WV dates 1887. What I would like to find out is if anyone knows of a migration around that time of lumbermen from PA to WV. I did come across a real estate ad in 1884 in an Indiana County PA newspaper that mentions 4000 acres of land in Logan County for sale (at less than $1.00 an acre!) with good lumber and coal below. I think William Fronk and his brother James both headed down but only William stayed. I'd be interested in information and photos of any lumber companies that were operating at that time. William and his wife had 10 children, only two survive to adulthood. I would like to find names and any information on the children that died young, the two that survived, Ray and Beatrice, and buried with their parents in the Isaac Marcum Cemetery near Dunlow. While looking in newspapers I found and article in 1905 in the Indiana Evening Gazette, (Indiana County, PA). The headline reads, "Hatfield Feud is On, Mountaineers in West Virginia have Their Guns Out" I saw mention of "Devil Anse on an earlier post, he is mentioned in this article; ".The trouble originated with George Hensley, who married Mary Hatfield, daughter of "Devil" Anse..

Hi Marsha, Good to hear from you! All of your letter was of much interest to me. I had forgotten that I used to brush my teeth the same way you mentioned. We moved to town when I was five, but until then, the only way the entire family brushed their teeth on the porch. We used the back porch to "rinse and spit." We also used the back porch for baths when weather was warm enough. Bathed in a "wash tub." In winter months baths were in the kitchen by the coal/wood burning stove. Do you know who owned the land was that was advertised in the PA newspaper for $1.00 per acre? I am a Hensley descendant and have never heard of the Hensley's being connected to the Hatfield/McCoy feud. Do you have a copy of the article you mentioned? I have no record of a George Hensley marrying a Hatfield! The older George Hensley in Logan County was married to Juda Conley. The younger George Hensley (born circa 1860) was my mother's uncle (We called him "Uncle Tucker") He was an old time preacher man and caned chairs for a living. I have pictures of him. He was a dear sweet old soul - used to come to our house when I was a little girl. Would love to read the article you mentioned. Thanks in advance.

We had a house over a natural spring for our butter and milk and I have used cardboard myself. I remember when Hush Puppies shoes came out. We got a pair for school and they lasted till summer and then it was flip-flops or bare feet. Bonnie ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Stan, I started journaling years ago and now have two volumes complete and yes I have lots and lots of photos. I copy photos from other relatives that will let me. I started taking photos when I was young of all my friends and family ( I have boxes of them). The genealogy came about when I was in my 50's as I realized I knew nothing and I mean nothing about my family. I knew my father's name but nothing else about his family and only knew my Aunt's and my mothers grandmother and grandfather's names as I was named for both of them and knew my g-great grandmother Leatha. To me, that was rather sad. I bought a computer but didn't trust what I was finding on line, but I did start hearing of books and started buying them. I also spent hours in the Logan Courthouse and Pineville. Trips to Williamson in Pikeville and anywhere else I found a lead. My kids are always asking if I've found anything new and that really pleases me. Most of the earliest ancestors are from other people on this site and from their books. I'm still trying to document some of what I have with no real proof and I'm sure some will never be found but the hunt will still be a good one. I hope more on this site will really write their lives in a book for their children to read later. Times are changing to fast and to much is lost on the way. Progress is a good thing (I guess) I just don't ever want to forget the wonderful life and memories, friends and even heartaches I've had along the way. My Aunt is the last of her generation and I know if I don't get it down now it could forever be lost as I have lost all of my older ones, I now realize I'm the older one and if I don't do it who will?

My folks never had a fridge till 1946. We had a 'spring house", a small building covering a cold mountain spring.The milk & butter kept firm all through the summer months. I bought the folks a new fridge out of my mustering out pay from the armed forces.
