In 1810 John Harvey was born in Ohio/Marshall Co. Va./WV. He and some of his sisters are still in Marshall County in 1850. John and his young family went to Illinois in about 1856. Can anyone tell me who his parents were? Thanks Jean Logston

Hello: Did your Ingrams come from north or south carolina by any chance? Do you have a Comfort Ingram? Maureen

Billy, I thought about telling the Ohio version of that story but I did not want to offend anyone by it. Since you have opened the subject, though, I guess I'm safe. There were 2 major migrations of Appalachians to Northeast Ohio. The first was in the years after the First World War and the second in the 1950's and 1960's. Many West Virginians came to work in the potteries, rubber mills and steel mills. When the first West Virginians came after the War, the locals soon began to search for a derogatory term with which to refer to them. The natives weren't very creative and the best that they could come up with was "Hoopies" because most of those iron barrel hoops came from a factory, I believe, in Wheeling. I don't know about anyone else but I take great pride in my 200+ years of WV heritage and wear the title "Hoopie" proudly!

While this request is pure genealogy, it may trigger some recollections of places family members worked. As a teenager in the 1970s, on the way from my grandparents' farm in far southeastern Marshall County, we'd listen to WWVA radio with Al Zeidman on Sunday afternoons. I well remember something called the "Mine Bulletin Board," during which the mines within broadcasting distance were listed and whether or not the miners had work that afternoon. I'm trying to recall the mines listed, and here's what I can remember: McIlroy Mine -- Moundsville Operations, Ireland Mine, Shoemaker Mine, Blacksville Mine and Tipple, Windsor Mine, and Valley Camp Coal Co. (but can't remember which mines were announced.) Any readers have similiar recollections and mind sharing them with me? You may email me directly, or if Linda, you think this is worth posting, on the Marshall Co. page. When I'm back in the Northern Panhandle and listening to WWVA on Sunday afternoons, I miss hearing the Mine Bulletin Board and ol' Al Zeidman. Just another piece of our childhood now gone. Scott West Lancaster Co., Va.

Eldon, As Billy and Maureen have already mentioned - a cooper was a barrel maker. Also, as Billy pointed out, these barrels were generally for shipping things. I thought you might be interested in an example from close to home. The Sebring Cooperage Company in Sebring, Mahoning county, OH manufactured large wooden barrels or ware casks used to ship dishes from the various potteries that operated there in the 1920's and 1930's.

Amos and Matilda Terrill were mentioned in a posting yesterday; my information shows that Matilda was the daughter of John Lewis (b. 1775 in Pa.), who fought in the War of 1812. John's wife was Elizabeth McKelvey (b. 1780). Does anyone know who John Lewis's parents were, or who his wife Elizabeth's parents were? Many thanks.

May 1839). I can find no marriage record for Lewis and Amelia. They married between the 1850 and 1860 Census. Lewis is listed as a convict in the 1850 Marshall County census and is the son of Amos and Matilda Terrill. The 1916 marriage record of Charles R. Terrill should give the name of his mother. His Social Security record is another place to verify his mother's maiden name. Billy
