Dee, To reach the Hinkle Fort marker from Riverton, take the road from Riverton to Seneca Caves/Caverns. This goes through the heart of Germany Valley The marker will be on your left hand side. The cemetery is behind the marker and through a wide field. You can see it from the road. By WV law, you have the right to access to a family cemetery and to cross private land to do this. Just walk along the fence line if there are crops in the field so they will not be trampled. There are not any cow gates here, but if you visit a cemetery where you must open a gate, just remember to close it again as soon as you go through. When I am cemetery searching, the passenger is always in charge of getting out to open and the close the gates. Sometimes there are several. <G> Hope this helps. I am sure that the people at the Exxon in Riverton or at Seneca Caverns can help with directions also. BTW, Germany Valley looks exactly like the area of Oregon that John Justus's grandson and great grandchildren settled in 1853.

I'm searching one of my lines for the ancestors and siblings of William L. D. Rodgers, who was born in Augusta County, VA on 20 Oct 1820. He married Mary Ann Kershner on 23 May 1842, who was born between 1820 and 1825 in Augusta County, VA to Jacob Kershner and Margaret (Peggy) Gabbert Kershner. Williams and Mary Ann may have lived in what is now Highland County, VA or Pendleton County, W(VA). Any leads? Please e-mail MHaynes@Kenyon.com Thanks! Mike Haynes

I'm researching one of my lines that includes a Delilah Malcom, b. 1/11/1834, prob. in Pendleton County, Nicholas County, or Highland County, VA. Delilah married Samuel Neil on 8 Apr 1859 in Nicholas County, VA (now WV). I'm awaiting that marriage license from the Nicholas County courthouse. After Samuel died, Delilah married Peter Michael in Highland County, VA. In that marriage licenses, there is an indication that her father was a James Malcom, and that Delilah was born in Pendleton County. Any leads? Please e-mail MHaynes@kenyon.com Thanks! Mike Haynes

I also said the cost of copies was 50 cents. I got bombarded with messages saying FALSE, FALSE, UNTRUE. All ranging from you "have to have draft board, name, age, etc etc" to "Totally FALSE cost". "UNTRUE Post" and "You are Misleading People". Jeez what a mess !! Makes me almost wish I had never posted the message. So let me clarify things here. 1st things 1st. I called the Archives yesterday and spoke with the manager of the textural department who is in charge of the WW1 registration / application cards. The first thing I asked was: What's the cost of ordering the cards via mail? He said the cost is $10.00 per card. Doesn't matter if you have 10 people all with the last surname in the same state/county they charge by the card. I asked why was I told the cost was 50 cents? After much discussion and tracking down the person I spoke with it turned out to be a large misunderstanding - the person knew I came to the archives all the time and thought I meant the cost to use the copier at the archives. So OK the cost is not 50 cents it's an outrageous $10.00. I have e-mailed one of the officers of the Friends of the Archives to see if they will be willing to do the searching and copying for less money. As soon as I get an answer I'll let everyone know. Now the 2nd thing. If you go to the NARA on-line site for GA and request the form to order WW1 Draft Cards you will receive a form that says you have to furnish all kinds of information. THIS IS A STANDARD NARA FORM TO ORDER CARDS FROM THE LDS FILM!!!!! If you are ordering a look-up from any NARA branch other than the East Pointe branch you must give this information because the copy will be made from the LDS microfilm which IS in state and then Draft Board order. It is not by state and then county. The NARA staff needs the information on the form to be able to find the card on the LDS film. HOWEVER - all you have to do is write a letter to the East Pointe branch and request a copy of - here we go - pay attention !!! ORIGINAL DRAFT CARD and give them the state, the county and the name and race of the individual you want. The only areas where this will not work is for the largest cities in the US such as New York, Chicago, LA, etc. then you have to have a street or the draft board. These cities have not been sorted into surname order yet. And ALL of the states are located at the GA NARA Branch - they have not been split and sent anywhere else. Now I hope that this helps straighten out the information that is flying fast and furious around the lists. If you forwarded my other messages somewhere will you please forward this one also? And when you forward this message please leave my name and e-mail address included. People need to write to me if they have questions not flood the lists with posts about "untruth" and "false information". It only causes confusion. Thanks a lot and hope I have helped clear up this mess.

Friday the 27th of October 1848 As usual we proceeded traveling over very rough road, some so rough that we could not travel more than 17 miles in a day. We reached Mr. "Savergum?" quite late and putting up for the night and was much delighted with his family. Especially his daughter who sang and played most delightfully on the piano. Saturday the 28th of October 1848 After breakfasting and taking leave of Mr. Savergum and family who we left with great reluctance and proceeded crossing through Mt. Washington, a village in Bullet Co. We then took the pike leading to Beardstown. Could not travel, the dirt road as we expected on account of our horse being sinewed, so we could not work him. We reached Beardstown about 3 o'clock, from thence crossing down the Reach River about a mile from town, from thence 5 miles to what is called the "Six Mile House", from Beardstown kept by Mr. "Ball or Bull", an old Virginian. Sunday the 29th of October 1848 As usual we proceeded on our journey passing through New Haven, when the Catholics where holding a big meeting, from thence crossing the bridges over "Whigfork" of the Salt River, from thence 14 miles where we put up for the night with "Dr. Luskey", whose wife was on a visit to her relations and he being left alone, invited us to stay with him. As he was quite lonely then invitation was accepted, and we were kindly entertained. Monday the 30th of October 1848 After breakfasting we proceeded 12 miles, stopped dined, and again proceeded crossing the bridge over Green River, _____ Co. From thence on to Mr. Brinks who kept tavern. A very kind and hospitable family, as little Florence has taken sick that night. Even the lady was very attentive. Tuesday the 31st of October 1848 We proceeded on our journey although Florence was quite unwell. Traveled 12 miles, stopped prepared something for her to eat and again proceeded 14 miles, where we put up for the night with Mr." Shole", an old Virginian, who had married a KY lady who was very kind and hospitable. Wednesday the 1st of November 1848 As usual we proceeded on our journey crossing through Bowling Green, the County Seat of Mason, 4 miles beyond passing through Shakertown. From thence to Mr. "Yoit? Tavern" where we put up for the night. pamrooney@prodigy.net

Hi everyone, I need your help. I have a Thomas Davis who married Priscilla Pennington January 19, 1792 in Pendleton County. According to the 1810 Census of Pendleton County it looks as if Thomas and Priscilla had 5 children (3 girls, 2 boys). I've been trying to find out what these children names are and haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any information on this family? I've hit a brick wall and ran out of places to look. Thanks Debbie

Thanks for your interest! My John Bland was born 15 Jan 1791 -- I'm fairly sure of that date because it came from a family bible record, and I've found him on the 1850 census in Seneca Co, Ohio. He married first a Nancy (?) b. 6 Dec 1792, with whom he had eight children, including Mary Ann Bland, who married John Pecher in Ohio. Mary Ann and John moved to St. Joseph Co, IN ca 1852; she was my husband's gggrandmother. Nancy died in 1853 and John married someone named Mary McKinley. I don't know if he had further children with her. About John's parents and siblings, I have recently turned up a number of clues through the internet (including what seems to be John's line going back to the 1500s in England) but none of these sources quoted any of their sources other than published articles, so I take the whole thing with a grain of salt. It does seem possible that John's father was Henry Bland -- at least Henry appears in the 1810 Pendleton Co census with children of the right ages. If I'm interpreting things correctly, my internet sources would indicate that this Henry (b. 1770) would be a brother of the John you mentioned in your post (?). I'm planning to take a couple of days off in early September and hope to trace down some of the "clues" in our local genealogy library (at *last* I have a Virginia ancestor!). -- Julia Nedra Dickman Brill wrote: > > Julia, > > Tell us a little more about the specific Blands you are seeking.

Thursday 12th, October 1848 We renewed our journey passing by the iron works in Carter Co., KY. The pike on which we traveled was only completed 3 miles west of the iron works and after that we met with very rough road for some 18 - 20 miles. One place in particular, where the wagon stuck in the mud to a considerable depth, or so much as to cause a considerable cry. After some difficulty we got the one wagon through and the others were taken through the fields and we again proceeded passing through Grayson the County Seat of Carter CO. 5 miles beyond we put up for the night very much fatigued having traveled on some very rough road. Friday 13th, October Morning 1848 As usual we resumed our journey having very bad road to contend with for the distance of 9 miles then____________? Traveled 3 miles stopped ate a bite and rested and again proceeded 11 miles and put up for one day and two nights to have our washing done near a Gentleman by the name of "Richason"? in Fleming Co., KY. Sunday 15th, October Morning 1848 After resting and refreshing we proceeded on our journey in fine spirits and quite refreshed. Traveled 12 miles stopped, dined, and again proceeded 14 miles where we put up for the night with Mr. Elders. Monday 16th, October 1848 After breakfasting and crossing Mud Lick the celebrated springs beautifully situated in Bath CO., from thence on through Montgomery CO., passing through Mt. Sterling a very handsome country town, it being the County Seat of Montgomery, thence 3 miles to Mr. Freudleys where we put up for the night Tuesday 17th, October 1848 We proceeded as usual in fine health and spirits. Traveling through Clark CO., passing through Winchester the County Seat , 1 mile beyond we stopped, dined off the fine turkey and proceeded 12 miles where we put up for the night at Mr. Will "Turner?" Wednesday 18th, October 1848 We proceeded passing by the beautiful lands and beautiful farms and houses, among them Mr. Henry Clay, which is a large white house delightfully situated on the left hand side of the pike leading to Lexington which is one mile only ________? From thence through Lexington, on 7 miles beyond the town, when we met with Mr. Abraham VanMeter, an old acquaintance, a native of our old dominion. He was giving his servants some instructions on building a stove furnace along the river. He appeared delighted to meet us so unexpectantly and invited us to dine with him. He gave us directions, we left took the carriages and drove in and the wagons kept on. We drove in half a mile from the road and we found Mr. VanMeter's residence, which is a lovely one indeed. A fine brick dwelling surrounded with every luxury the master can afford. Then we dined scrumptiously with George Robison and Lady, Dr. B_______ and Lady, of Lexington. Spent several hours quite pleasantly and then took leave of our kind and hospitable acquaintances and resumed on our journey with our faces turned towards our relations who lived 12 miles distant. About sun down we reached their domicile and were received in compassion with them as the prodigal even fortunate we found them surrounded with all this coarse country. We found them in prosper of warm times and generous principal, on affecting kindly and willing to share it with relations, or friends to provide them prosperity. Nothing was left undone or held back, no on the contrary, we shared every luxury with them during our seven day stay with them, and in our departure from them we were supplied with everything necessary in our wagons to proceed, with but little expectations of our destination. Wednesday the 25th of October 1848 After parting with our kind relations we proceeded in our journey accompanied by our cousins. Jacob Harper called out the cemetery, then we saw many of the graves of the Ky Volunteers. The hot houses which stand in one corner of the cemetery, it is a vision for me to attempt to describe the beauty and magnificence of their lovely spot of earth. We dined there and proceeded on to Frankfort, the capitol which was in sight of the cemetery, it being situated on a hill. At the capitol we spent some time in the travelers store looking at the Kentucky State House. Frankfort is situated on the KY River, Franklin Co., land by which it is surrounded by is quite broken and rocky, but enough we crossed the KY River then in a bout accompanied by our cousins Jacob and William Harper. After we crossed we took leave of them and traveled 4 miles, then put up for the night at Mr. Watson's Tavern, who has quite a lady for his wife. I became much attached, even for the short acquaintance. Thursday the 26th of October 1848 After breakfasting we proceeded on our journey 12 miles. We then stopped, dined and again proceeded on passing through Shelbyville, the County Seat of Shelby, from thence 5 miles which kept us late in the night. About an hour we at last reached Mr. Smiths where we were kindly entertained, especially by his lady. pamrooney@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- From: firebird <pamrooney@prodigy.net> To: <WVPENDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: August 22, 1999 7:56 AM Subject: Peobe Coil Linthicum > Tuesday 3rd October 1848 > > The morning being pleasant and clear we proceeded on our journey in fine > spirits passing through Lewisburg the County Seat of Greenbrier, where we > spent several hours in dealing and looking over the town, which is a very > pretty one.

Dan, I have photos of the Harman Graded School Class 1919-1920, and of the Dixie School class 1913. My other photos are of the Kisamore family and the Boat Lake I also have a few pictures of Davis, WV which I guess is close to Pendleton County. A picture of the men working at the Planning Mill there and one of Fairfax Ave in Davis all circa 1913. Let me know if you are interested and I'll scan them for you, or send them snail mail.

How can I get copies of any old photos of pendelton county area? Iam especially in the circleville area.

Una, We would be most appreciative of copies of these pictures, especially those of Pendleton County. The 'Dixie' is the Dixie School in Riverton, WV. The flood of 1985 demolished it, and it was torn down. The local residents wanted the government to restore the school after the flood because it had been used as a community center, but they tore it down. I will try to fine out more about the school for anyone interested, Bill's uncle was principal there for several years, and Bill will talk to him about it. Thank you for your generious offer. Our association is interested in any and all pictures that have to do with Pendleton County or it's residents, and would appreciate any photos anyone would send us. We are also interested in stories of people, places, and events of the county. We have a book of photos, stories, genealogies, and events that we take with us for anyone to see, and try to share the information we are collecting. We do not have a museum, but hope to have one somewhere in the county. On weekends we try to have someone at the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center [ where we have a display] to share information on the county's history. Our current display has photos of places, events, and people in one case, and a case of memorabilia from the county. Also, we give informative talks at the Seneca Shadows campground at Seneca Rocks on the local history. Koren Fae Rawlings 304-358-3261 Pendleton Co., WVa Historical Preservation Association P.O.

Tuesday 3rd October 1848 The morning being pleasant and clear we proceeded on our journey in fine spirits passing through Lewisburg the County Seat of Greenbrier, where we spent several hours in dealing and looking over the town, which is a very pretty one. There we took the turnpike leading to the Ohio River and traveled 7 miles when we put up for the night in a vacant house. Wednesday 4th October 1848 We breakfasted and proceeded meeting a great many persons, wagons, carriages and stages, droves of horses, cattle, ect., continually. We traveled on about 10 miles and stopped, rested our horses, ate a bite and again resumed our journey crossing "Seiver Mountain", on to "Hickman ? Tavern", which I would advise my friends to shun in crossing that road. They would charge for an apple if it was not for shame sake, even that they forget at times, however we spent the night with them which offended an eye. Thursday 5th October 1848 We proceeded crossing "Big Duel" Mountain, which is 4 miles from the foot to the top on the east side and about 5 miles on the west. We found some very good water on the mountain, where we stopped and ate a bite, rested, and again resumed our trip 12 miles further to the "Locus Lane Hotel" kept by "Dr. Cooper". where we spent the night. It is a very beautiful situation for a country life, most of any throughout Fayette Co. Friday 6th, October 1848 After breakfasting we proceeded about 11 miles, stopped, dined, and again resumed our journey. Reached New River where we camped out for the first night, on the bank of the river. Saturday 7th, October 1848 After breakfasting on a large rock, substituted as a table we renewed our journey. Crossing the bridge over "Gawly" at the mouth where it empties into New River, which constitutes the Kanawah River. From thence 10 miles stopped, dined, and again proceeded 11 miles, then put up for the night camped as the night before, being pleased with the novelty. Sunday 8th, October 1848 Being a beautiful morning we proceeded with cheerfulness through the County of Kanawah, crossing the "Fault Rock/Fork" , which is beautifully situated on the river bank. They extend about 8 miles along the river. It is quite disagreeable to travelers in passing through them as they use so much stone "rock" as to render it quite unpleasant. However this is a great curiosity, from thence to Charleston the County Seat of Kanawha, which is a beautiful river town delightfully situated on the bank surrounded with cedars and arborvoire trees with various other evergreens and a very great variety of flowers. There we crossed the Kahawah River, drove the horses in to the boat and remained in the carriage. The boat we crossed in was a horse ferry boat. We were somewhat alarmed at first but before we reached the opposite shore our fears had subsided. We proceeded 3 miles beyond, put up for the night, camped near a widow lady by the name of "Thomas". Monday 9th, October 1848 After breakfasting we proceeded crossing "Coal River" in a ferry boat. when Pa had some difficulty with the Gentleman who had the bridge torn down, from thence 10 miles then stopped, rested our horses, ate a bite, and again proceeded through "Putnam Co.", 8 miles then put up for the night. Tuesday 10th, October 1848 We proceeded on 3 miles, when our buggy tire broke but fortunately we soon reached a blacksmith shop and had it replaced and resumed our journey passing by the "Blue Sulfur Springs", 3 miles beyond we stopped, ate a bite, and again proceeded passing through Barboursville, a village in Cabel Co., from thence on to the Ohio River, where we camped near the river and could hear the steamboats running nearly all night. Wednesday 11th, October 1848 We breakfasted and proceeded on our journey leaving the Lewisburg Turnpike and taking one leading down the Ohio River, traveled 6 miles then crossed the Big Sandy, at the mouth where it empties into the Ohio River. There we left our native state that dear old Virginia. The big Sandy is the line between VA and KY. After crossing the river we sat on the bank shore in KY and looked back in VA and crossed in Ohio from thence on through Greenup Co., KY. Traveled 10 miles after crossing the river, as the country is very broken and poor. Put up the night very disheartened at the appearance of the country in Kentucky and also in the inhabitants of that part. We camped the night in the state of our destination. pamrooney@prodigy.net
