It may take a few days. Most have no indication of who made the map nor any copyright date. It's fairly obvious from the names of many of the parcel owners that the maps are either very old or reconstruction of old grants - not plots of contemporary owners (contemporary in the sense of owners in the last century or so.) North Fork Map 7A & 7B The eastern boundaries of one Robt McCullough's large parcels is the westernmost parcel. There's no easy way to list the remaining parcels in specific order so these are just the names in random order - as spelled on the map - moving more or less to the east as I read down and back up the map: George Nagley 100a Pete Shall 202a Joseph and Benj.

Moser 125a John Cunningham 13?a Andrew W Dyer 1390a Moses Hinkle acreage unclear but the outline is of his 100a parcel A couple of waterways are marked as they enter properties but no real attempt was made to show landmarks. Indicated on the map to the far West is the North Fork but it is only pencilled in and probably not particularly accurate. Not indicated on the map is the South Branch which is known to pass through Dyer's 1390a. The map appears to be a wide swath between the two river branches north of Franklin up to and including Germany Valley in the west and roughly ending a little north of where Reed's Creek empties into the South Branch on the east side of the map. Although labelled North Fork, the map is most inclusive of the Reed's Creek area and has only a few (albeit a couple of those quite large) grants that would be considered to be on the North Fork. The majority of these grants were from the late 1700's and into the early 1800's although Dyer's large grant was not incorporated until 1860. The map certainly would have been drawn after that but there are obviously a large number of missing smaller grants in that case. Surveyors were generally well-educated. The spelling of Lenerd (for Leonard) and the use of Pete instead of Peter as on the grant gives one pause when trying to think who might have drawn the map and the obvious omissions of so many smaller grants begs the question of what the precise purpose of the exercise might have been.

Pam - Yes, there is a map of the area on the South Branch south of Franklin. I bought my copy from Tom Fyror, the Pendleton County surveyor. Bill Rexroad

At the time I contacted the Pendleton County Surveyor, I was interested in maps of the county areas north of Franklin. I ordered several for the North Fork areas and two for the area covered by the Maxwell Survey. I did not ask about anything south of Franklin and I was told there was nothing with plots for the area along the South Branch - but that may have been with the understanding that my immediate interest did not include areas south of Franklin. I was researching family lines - Mallow, Hinkle, Harman, Miller, Bush, Hoover, Reed - and had no thought of involvement in a mapping project. The older maps for the North Fork area are not detailed and less helpful but certainly of interest for those researching that area. Steve and I had both looked for any historical or current map that showed Shelton's Upper Tract and found none at that time. The historical references were unclear as to its location and somewhat confusing, at the time, as to its origin. There are individual surveys for most all parcels in Pendleton County but some are found in other counties for whatever time frame all or portions of now Pendleton County were under those jurisdictions (Augusta, Hampshire, Hardy, etc) I have not located any recorded map of surveys although surveys made in the same area on or about the same date are usually near each other in the survey books - like the 1753 surveys for Ulrich Conrad, Michael Mallo, and Jacob Seybert found in the Augusta County survey book.

There are several maps available from the Pendleton County Surveyor (for an average price of $25. each plus postage). Most of the maps do not have comprehensive plotting except for the Maxwell Survey Map (a replat of one of the Levi Hollingsworth tracts) made in 1898 by I. T. Kile which covers over 14,000 acres west from the South Fork to a series of tracts more or less in line with Greenawalt Gap and with a north boundary of the Hardy County line to a southern boundary roughly along the road from Fort Seybert to Kline's cross roads. Many of the original land grants within that area are plotted and some were updated with names of the 1898 owners. Steve Zuraff has added significantly to that map with parcels south of there all the way past Fort Seybert and a significant portion of the plots west of the map to and just across the South Branch. The area between the South Branch and North Fork which lies north of Franklin has been roughly filled in. I've helped with gathering the research - land conveyances, surveys, probate, land tax records, etc.- and with assembling the plots. It has taken hundreds of hours of research and has not been inexpensive. Much of the reconstruction was difficult due to surveying and recording errors, particularly in the earliest grants, and it was necessary, sometimes, to follow the conveyance of certain parcels out through several owners over many decades to resolve discrepancies. We suspended activity on the project to allow time for other research. However, many important discoveries were made during the work. Steve was able to reconstruct a complete history and boundaries of the "Shelton's" Upper Tract grant, an early, large tract on the South Branch, as well as the conveyances out of the grant to various original settlers and some of the re-conveyances from those pioneers to others. A reconstruction of the first and second round of conveyances out of the South Fork grant that became the Dyer Settlement, which includes the land on which Fort Seybert stood, has also been made and refutes some commonly held misconceptions about the relative locations of certain owners. Many of the other completed plot configurations have genealogical significance. I previously posted data regarding the original grants to Ulrich Conrad, Jacob Seybert, and Michael Mallow and subsequent owners including Adam Lough that came out of the research under replies to 1789 Names and acreage from land tax list Pendleton County Lower District.

She was a resident of Grant County. Although Benjamin's WWI draft card does indicate that he was born in Pendleton County, his birth recording http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=514891&Type=Birth indicates that he was born in Hopeville (Grant County) 11 miles north of Mouth of Seneca. Other children of this couple also had birth recordings which give Hopeville in Grant County as their place of birth (see also WV archives site). But, at least one child, Emma, was recorded as having been born in Pendleton County: http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=414626&Type=Birth Without further research,it is unclear how much time between 1891 and 1920 the family actually lived in Pendleton County - one of the many reasons that census data requires corroboration from other records before a broad conclusion about length of residence in a given place can be drawn.
