Julia, Tell us a little more about the specific Blands you are seeking. Wife? Where in Ohio? Each generation seemed to have Johns. The earliest was John Bland, son of Thomas who went to Muskingham County, Ohio, ca. 1798. He married Nancy Cunningham, daughter of James and Agnes. At 12:00 AM 8/21/99 -0400, you wrote: >As requested, a brief note to introduce myself ... looking here for my >husband's BLAND ancestors, who seem to have come to Pendleton County >around 1790.

Saturday 30th September 1848 Again we proceeded through the rain passing through Huntersville crossing the bridge over "Napes Creek", from thence taking the Greenbier road crossing the Greenbrier River and traveled on a few miles when we came in contact with a yellow jacket nest, which caused us some trouble in getting by, as they stung the carriage horses and cause them to take fright, but fortunately we met with no serious injury. Getting refreshed we proceeded about 3 miles. Elizabeth and myself riding along in the buggy when unfortunately it upset and threw Elizabeth down a hill 10 feet perpendicular, but escaped all injury except her arm being slightly injured. We proceeded 5 miles further then put up for the night at a small village called "Cuckleys Town", with the family of "Albemarle(ck)" , a very fashionable family. Sunday 1st October 1848 Sunday morning we proceeded on our journey seeing "Mr. Sutton/Luston" and being accompanied to our carriage by Mr. Solomon and old acquaintances by character. We had not traveled over 3 miles when we met with an intimate acquaintances, "John Wallace/Mollow". We had a day of adventure for we had not proceeded far before our carriage springs broke. But fortunately we soon reached the Greenbrier Academy, where we met with very obliging people who soon had it all mended and replaced, on the Sabbath, as it was. The ox had fallen in the creek, but was fortunate enough to get out and again renewed our journey crossing by a large brick church, where the Presbyterians were engaged in public worship. At that time the road on which we were traveling was very muddy, consequently we could not pursue our journey with speed. About dark we arrived at "Mr. Eavins", a dear relations of Mr. Andersons and lived quite near "Flora Cowasden". Monday 2nd October 1848 Still raining and has been for the last three days, But we still pursued our journey, throughout the County of Greenbrier. Crossed the river at a mill on the bridge from thence through Frankfort a considerable village 2 miles beyond we put up for the night with "Mr. Bright" where we were very hospitably entertained and on our leave of his lady was presented with a fine "can" of after bitters by him. I would advise the Pendleton Gentlemen of my acquaintances, if it is not too late, to visit this family as it would be profitable if they could fascinate young Miss Bright, who is a charming lady of sixteen summers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these wonderful entries in this young woman's journal. As you said, she wrote as I would vision as grown woman would. If you have the time please continue to share this journal!!!!

As requested, a brief note to introduce myself ... looking here for my husband's BLAND ancestors, who seem to have come to Pendleton County around 1790. His ggggrandfather John Bland left Pendleton County for Ohio around 1825. I'd been stuck at John for quite some time, but I recently ran across quite a lot of information on what seems to be his family on the web -- including the excellent Pendleton County GenWeb site. I love it when I find actual data online! Well, thanks for having me, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who shares the Bland line. Julia Christianson juliac@patriot.net

Hi everyone, I have several pictures relating to Pendleton County: 1. A picture of the students and teachers at The Harman Graded School from the 1919 - 1920 school year. Pictured with the students are Principal James Kisamore, (my father-in-law) and teachers, Miss Bertha Yeager abd Miss Hama? Harman. 2. Picture of a large group of about 30 young boys and girls. (approx. ages 8-18) taken 1913 - 1914.. The photo was taken outdoors in a hilly rocky area with few trees around.. Notation on back says "Dixie 1913-1914. Teachers, James Kisamore and Joss M. Riley." I have no idea who or what Dixie is. I get the impression it may be some sort of name for the group. 3. A picture of a boating lake that looks a lot like it's in the same area mentioned above 4. A picture of a group of men, evidently workers at "The Planing Mill at Davis, WV". Once again James Kisamore is in it, so I assume there may be others from Pendleton County in photo who worked at that mill. 5.A post card of Fairfax Avenue in Davis - postmarked 1913.. If you are interested in any of them let me know and I'll send it/them to you. Una

If you forwarded my message about the WWI draft cards being at the GA NARA branch will you please also forward this message? The original draft card applications (registrations) for every state (the entire US) are at East Pointe. According to the Archive Staff there are no plans to split these cards and move any of them to any other NARA location since East Pointe has been charged with the "custody" of these records. It is only the original cards that are in state / county / alpha order. Someone posted a message to one of the lists that NARA was planning on re-filming the cards since they are now in state / county / alpha order. If such a thing is underway it is unknown to the East Pointe archive staff and they should know if such a thing was in the works. If you request a copy of your ancestor's draft card from any NARA branch other than this one they will be searching the LDS microfilm and you will have to know the state and draft board for them to make a copy. It is only at the East Pointe location that you can request a copy by state and then county and the copy will be made from the ORIGINAL card. If I'm still unclear please let me know.

Dear Group, A long while back, when Nedra was the webmistress to this site, I had discussed with her posting a journal on this site. This journal was written in 1848 by Pheobe Coil Linthicum. Pheobe is the daughter of Adam Coil (b1799) and Darcus Morrow (b1807). The journal is about Adam Coil's family journey from Reeds Creek to Ballard Co., KY. Adam, wife Darcus and their seven children moved from Reeds Creek after almost 100 years of Adam Coil's ancestors living in Pendleton Co. Adam and Darcus's children ranged in ages of 2 to 20, in 1848 when they made this move. A most difficult task by today's standards. Pheobe Coil was 18 years old when she wrote this journal. I find this incredible considering her mature style of writing. Pheobe was married to Charles Linthicum in 1850 and died in 1852 in KY, at the young age of 22. Pheobe and Charles did not have any children before Pheobe's death. However, I feel this journal is her legacy. Since the journal mentions names and locations of VA, Nedra thought many of you might be interested in the contents. I have had some from this site offer to purchase the journal, however I do not intend on selling copies. I am doing this in memory of a young woman who left her mark even though she only lived for 22 years. I will post a few entries daily for the next few days for you. I have tried to transcribe as close as humanly possible. Pheobe's handwriting is very small and sometimes difficult to read. However, consistent I may have a few locations and names misspelled. If you recognize a locality or individual that you know is spelled wrong please let me know. The journal is in excellent condition. The book is a bound book measuring about 7" X 7", the book is dark green with a brownish red band running along the left hand bound edge. The writing is very legible, if you enlarge the print, or look through a magnifying glass. Pheobe used a pen which has enabled the writing to still be legible. There are a few sections where it is not legible. It appears she may have switched ink at one point and the writing has faded. Also, since this journal has been in my family since 1848, several family members have attempted to read it and it has been copied. Phoebe Ann Coil Linthicum's Journal September 26th, 1848 - November 10th, 1848 Tuesday 26th September 1848 This day we set out from our native country for the state of Kentucky and proceeded up the branch about 5 miles to a spring on the east side of the South Branch of the Potomack, dined and from thence went the branch 6 miles to Col. Johnson's where we put up for the night and was very kindly entertained. Wednesday 27th September After breakfasting proceeded on our journey passing through Franklin, the County Seat of Pendleton, where we made the painful necessity of parting with many of our friends among the ______Mr. C. Hopkins, who we left with great reluctance. From thence 10 miles stopped, dined, and again proceeded to Mrs. Grays, which kept us late in the night. The remainder was spent quite pleasantly with Mr. Garret family, they being old acquaintances. Thursday 28th September After breakfasting and taking leave of our friends, Grays with some refreshments offered by Mrs. Gray , which was accepted for the coming day. We proceeded, the wagons having gone before took the road leading to the warm springs. After traveling 1 mile we overtook them and had them "replaced on the rite course". Traveled 8 miles then stopped, dined and again proceeded on the Jackson River 10 miles stopped, and put up for the night with Mr. Dever, formerly a resident of Rockingham. Then we took a private apartment. Friday 29th September After breakfasting we proceeded on our journey crossing down Back Creek about 5 miles and crossed Allegheny. It was attended to by no difficulty in crossing the mountain except a rain. On the west side we found a very fine spring, where we took a bath to refresh and again proceeded through the rain until night, then put up for the night at Mr. Harpers in Pocohantas, where we were kindly entertained. pamrooney@prodigy.net

Pam, Thank you for taking the time to post this journal. I, for one, very much appreciate the writing style and the information about an earlier time. Looking forward to the next installment. I hope she mentions the Hill family as I am their descendant.

Dean Hunt Louisville, KY Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help.

Dean Hunt Louisville, KY Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you.

I have never heard of the surname Linthicum before, except here in MD, I live in a small town called Linthicum. It was founded by the Linthicum family, but I have lived here my whole life and never known someone with the last name Linthicum. I have read our Linthicum history though and many Linthicum's are listed. Our local Linthicum public library has lots on the Linthicum family, if anyone is interested in this family, I'd be happy to get some of the books and do some look-ups. They were a very wealthy family, they owned and ran this town when it was first started from what I can remember. I remember seeing old pictures of our suburban town when it looked like something off an old movie! Many of the streets and shopping centers in the area are named after Linthicum and the Shipley families. Let me anyone is interested. MD and WV/VA are so close that they could be related. This isn't exactly Pendleton related, so you can email privately if you wish! Thanks for posting some of the journal, it's very interesting to read, I love anything about history, especially family history. Jennifer
