The message appended from Diane Huyer is less than clear what the issue is about. It is not specific about what battlefield, where, what was its importance, etc. What threatens it? What saves it?

To any of you who aren't at all interested in this or by chance don't see the relationship between historic preservation and genealogy, you can stop reading this here and I apologize for cluttering your mailbox. Although being, myself, very unappreciative of non-genealogy-related subjects cluttering up our mailboxes, I personally think this could be very important...not only for this battlefield, but for historic preservation in general, and offer the following food for thought. This particular place does appear to be worth trying to help folks, for history's sake, because of those enterred there, and for genealogy's sake; but it's unclear just what we can do. Those leading the "fight" want you to "sign" an online petition, but it's very unclear just what steps they have already done or are trying to do to save this historic place, or how long they have been fighting. As we all know, multiple names appearing on online petitions aren't worth much, if anything, unless the site has you sign in with identification and it places a cookie to make sure that the same computer doesn't sign up twice. Even doing it that way, someone could technically argue that anywone with a particular interest could conceivably go to multiple computers themselves and place duplicate names. When I first heard of this through a Gen-List (VAAUGUST-L) several days ago, I e-mailed the Meigs County, Ohio, Historical Society to find out just what else they've been doing or plan to do. For instance, has there been a letter-writing campaign to legislatures, either federal or state? Have they contacted the National Foundation for Historic Trust? They haven't responded yet. If I do hear more, I'll pass it on. Based on my own experience in other areas (policing internet fraud and certain political issues), historic preservation certainly might be something that can be helped everywhere by bringing together many more people with the advantage of rapid communication over the Internet. Far too often local historical societies miss out on saving important places because they lack sufficient resources (people, finances, and sometimes experience) to wield any influence. Just as we do in researching genealogy, through the Internet, we have the power to gather millions of people to communicate and work together at the click of a button for something good...virtually anything. An online petition won't do it, though. Each person has to take the time to personally and individually communicate, in person, by telephone, through letters, and/or in e-mail with the people/organizations that count on the issues. More and more legislators and government offices in the country now use e-mail, so it is getting easier; but you should give them your name and snail-mail address, even in e-mail. Legislators and government offices really only pay attention if it begins to "inconvenience" them; i.e. stacks of mail, phone calls, and personal meetings take up their time so they have to pay attention...a mere list of names doesn't. Because of all of the above, I forwarded the message, with the above information, to the PACAMBRI-L, MDFREDER-L, MDWASHIN-L. (Since it came from VAAUGUST-L to me, I figured it would get around to other WV lists without me.) If you are interested in helping (this or any other "cause"), I do suggest following through on it and forwarding info on to others; however I recommend you list in the body of what you forward those lists to whom you have forwarded it, so we aren't getting hundreds of repeats.

Hi Everyone, My ancestor, Samuel Day was awarded a Va. Land Grant for his service in the Revolutionary War. According to an entry in the Ohio DAR Revolutionary Soldiers, p. 108 and Sims Index on-line, in 1796 Samuel Day had 150 acres in the Upper Tract on the west side of the North Fork at Clay Lick. He sold it to John Dolly in 1805 when his family migrated to Ross Co., Ohio. Some people have told me that this is located about 4 miles north of Seneca Rock. Can someone out there identify this location and verify its location. Was this location in Hardy Co. before Pendleton was formed in 1788?? I found a notation in the U. Va. Library that Sam Day was awarded land in Hardy Co. some time after 1784. Could this have been the same property that had to be re-registered after it became part of Pendleton Co.?? What records should I check in Hardy Co. or did those records move on to Pendleton Co.?? Sorry to throw so many questions at once but I feel like I've been travelling in a circle for some time. Thanks for any feedback.

There have been postings on a number of mail lists recently about an increase in the fees the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) charges for copies of compiled military service records and pension records. While NARA is considering a change to the fee structure for these documents, the information that has been posted is both premature and somewhat inaccurate. The Records Preservation and Access Committee, a joint endeavor of the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National Genealogical Society, has contacted NARA officials for clarification. The following is the "official NARA statement" issued in response to our inquiry: -Begin NARA Statement: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be issuing a proposed rule within the next few weeks that will revise fees for reproduction, including the "fixed-fee" orders in the NATF 80 series. The proposed rule will have a 60-day public comment period, during which time we will actively seek the comments of the user community. The proposed rule is presently undergoing internal government review. When it is released for publication in the Federal Register, NARA will notify the national genealogical organizations and post a copy of the proposed rule on its web site. The message will include the exact URL and the address for sending comments. -End NARA Statement- The Records Preservation and Access Committee will continue to monitor this proposal, and will post relevant information on the Records Preservation and Access pages of the Federation of Genealogical Societies' Web site (http:www.fgs.org) when it is available. Please feel free to forward this posting to other mail lists on which the original posting may have appeared. Jack Brissee Chair, FGS/NGS Records Preservation and Access Committee

Greetings Pendleton List: My grandmother, Bessie Vandevander Thompson, b. 1904, Circleville, still living, has been a great help to me re my Pendleton research...why?...it appears that no one in her family ever through anything away, her closets and drawers have been a goldmine to help get me started... Yesterday while looking thru her college scrapbook from Shepherd College, I found a Christmas souvenir pamphlet...my grandmother taught school in Pendleton County, this pamphlet's contents include info I would like to share with the list in case someone recognizes a family relative... FAIRVIEW SCHOOL Sub-District NO. 11 Pendleton Co., West Virginia 1922 Bessie L. Vandevander, Teacher School Board Rhymer Calhoun, President W. S. Dunkle, Secretary Charlie Warner, Commissioner Cleat Phares, Commissioner Pupils (separated by girls & boys) Annie Arbogast Leafy Arbough Freda Arbough Margie L. Johnston Nola M. Nelson Mary Nelson Boyd Arbogast Glavis R. Arbough Jimmie Arbough Arno E. Lambert Earl Day Onie Lambert The above info is located on the center pages and there are a few pages of Christmas carols and poems to fill out the rest of the pamphlet...it was a wonderful find and I am sure anyone doing genealogy would consider it a great Pendleton keepsake... In my copy of Pendleton County, WV Past and Present, page 36-37, under Schools, it states that Fairview School was located in Circleville District east of Circleville on State Route 28/6 in the Pike Gap. It stood near the present residence of Bennie Sponaugle. Some stones still mark its location. It goes on to state that land was deeded in 1884 to the school for $1.00 by Z. M. Nelson who owned the property. The school was closed in 1938. There is a list of other teachers and family names of pupils who attended the school...if anyone is interested I could list that info...

>Thompson, George md. Wimer, Mary >29 Apr 1819; Hinkle, Jesse; p. 11 >27 Apr 1819; Thompson, George; Thompson, John >Env 13; Wimer, George This entry illustrates extremely well why one should always read the Introduction to a book and should also obtain the original entries, whenever possible. This entry is contained in Mary Harter's original PC Marriages book. The page number refers to the Pendleton County Marriage Register 1800. The second date, 27 April 1819 is the date of the bond. George Thompson, John Thompson, and George Wimer were the bondsmen. The originals of the early bonds which Mary included in this book have been microfilmed and are available to rent at your local LDS Family History Center, or can be obtained on inter-library loan from WVU Archives in Morgantown. After Mary published her book, I proofread this microfilmed edition against these bonds and consents. I found a few mis-read names and also noted the number of the Envelope that houses each particular record in the WVU collection. These corrections and editions I sent to Jackie Puffenbarger and she incorporated these notes into the reprinted edition of Mary's marriages. Hope this clarifies the situation and also explains if you find a different name between the two editions of the marriages.

Hi, Maybe you can help me clear up a misunderstanding. I thought Pendleton was originally part of Hardy Co. which broke off from Augusta Co. Can you give me the real scoop with years the separation took place. I'm trying to locate an ancestor who was in Pendleton Co. in 1796 in the Upper Tract on the North Fork near Clay Lick. However, I'm fairly certain he was in that territory in the 1780's and would like to know which records to access for that time period.
