Well it looks like we may be cousin a few generations down. John Wesley GROVE was the brother of my gg-grandfather Eli Maslin GROVE. Their parents were Samuel Jefferson GROVE and Elizabeth NEWBRAUGH. I need to know how far you can go back. You stated in the letter dated 17 Oct. 2004 that you wanted to get the book that had part of the Grove family in it. I have that book, and it helped some what. What type of Genealogy program do you have? I have an old FTM, but I'm sure I can convert my information into a GED file. I can give you all of John Wesley's sibs, his children (but not much on them), and family members beyound Samuel and Elizabeth (both sides). John's youngest brother, Sampson, married a Mary Jane FEARNOW. She died young and is burried in the old GROVE Family graveyard. Well I hope to hear from you soon. Teresa Grove P.S. tried to send this to you personally but came back. You can e-mail me at the address I have entered.

Surnames: STOTLER, UNGER, DAVISON, CROSS, SPIELMAN, MCCOY, HARMISON, FEARNOW, BOHRER Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FEC.2ACE/983 Message Board Post: This is in response to Pat Unger's request through Charlene. I was recently at the library and found the following information. I am including the entire except for everyone and anyone interested in Stotlers Cross Roads. "In the 1880s Mr. Richard STOTLER operated a small grocery store at a crossroads just south of Mt. Olivet Church. About 1885 he applied for a post office and one was established in that year. Being at the intersection of the two roads and his name being STOTLER the new Office was named Stotlers Cross Roads. Mr. STOTLER continued in business for approximately another ten years after getting the post office and reaching an advanced age decided to cease business. Mr. Clem UNGER had erected a grocery just north of Mt. Olivet Church and he purchased Mr. STOTLER's grocery and moved the building to his site and attached it to the north side of his building. He was appointed postmaster and remained in that position until 1904 when Mr. A.C. UNGER purchased the farm and grocery business from Mr. Clem UNGER. A.C. UNGER was named postmaster and continued as such until reaching retirement age in 1940. he retired and his daughter Mildred UNGER was appointed postmistress. The building which Mr. Clem UNGER erected and the original post office building still stand at Stotlers Cross Roads. Around 1900 Mr. Elmer DAVISON purchased a large farm surrounding the Mt. Olivet Church from Mr. John CROSS. Mr. DAVISON set up a blacksmith shop at the intersection of the two roads, maintained a tomato cannery there and had a thriving orchard on the hillside across the road to the northwest of his house and shop. Stotlers Cross Roads became a thriving country community. Aside from Mr. DAVISON, Mr. A.C. UNGER had purchased a cannery at the southern boundary of his property from Mr. Newton SPIELMAN and also built and ran a feed mill and cider press. Mr. UNGER bought and sold country produce and farm machinery. Two schools had been established in the community; one known as West Branch was located about two miles west of Stotlers on land now owned by Lester UNGER. The other one was located about two miles southeast of Stotlers and was known as Pleasant Dale. It was located in what is known as "Posy Hollow". There was much community spirit at Stotlers. Mr. UNGER had purchased the old West Branch school building and relocated it between his store and the cannery. It became known as the lodge hall. in this building many activities were held. Some were box socials, debates, and community plays for it was equipped with a stage and curtain. It served as a place of worship in the 1930s while the present Mt. Olivet church building was being erected. And from many years it was a voting place for that precinct. Now voting is done at the store building just north. The upstairs of the building housed two fraternal organizations. The (POS of A) Patriotic Order of Sons of America and the Modern Woodmen of America. Both had active lodges at Stotlers. A very active Band was organized and functioned for a number of years. It would practice every Saturday night over the store and most of the neighborhood would gather at the store to hear the band. After Mr. A.C. UNGER passed away in 1952 the store was leased to Mr. S.B. MCCOY and he became postmaster until the office closed in the late fifties. The tomato cannery ceased upon the death of Mr. UNGER and his daughter, Mildred sold the building to Mr. Charles HARMISON who used the lumber to erect a dairy barn on his farm three miles north of Stotlers. Among the earliest families in the area were the STOTLERS, the SPIELMANS, the UNGERS, the FEARNOWS and the BOHRERS. Many of their descendants are still in that area.

I am Ellen Manning McGuire, living in Montgomery, Alabama. I was born in Cumberland, Maryland almost 65 years ago. I lived in Paw Paw for several years before my parents moved to Alabama. Over the years with my parents and later with my husband and children I have been fortunate to be able to visit. To me this area is so beautiful. One of the best sights is the ride from Berkeley Springs to Paw Paw. The view is out of this world. Someone told my years ago that it was the 14 wonder of the world. It rates about 1 with me. Trains ran around and through Paw Paw. One of the finest sounds was the train coming around the mountain across the Potomac. Some morning at my home here I can hear our local train, but I doesn`t have the same sound. The "hills" around Paw Paw were full of apple trees. I remember making apple butter at the Methodist Church in Paw Paw. I remember Tom Kerns` store. I still keep in touch with Betty his daughter. My family names are Manning, Myers, Weller's from Washington Co. Maryland. Pete Manning and his son James(Polk) Manning ran a ferry. On my grandmother`s side are the Childers and Gross families from Morgan Co. I am interested in local information and finding out more about these families. I am hoping to make a trip up this fall or in the early spring. If you have an exceptionally cold winter, let me know because just about every time we visit there is a heat wave.
