Not being originally from Fairmont, but living here for the last 36 years, I recall that Colebank Hall used to be called Colebank Gym. This was used as a basketball venue until the new Fester Center was opened. Have you tried a Google or Yahoo search. If you can't find anything, e mail me, and I will see if I can get you some information. FSU also has a web site, and I'm sure a contact person who would be able to answer your question. BEV

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IEC.2ACE/1172.2.1 Message Board Post: My Smiths would have been in Preston (if not always) back as far as 1830. Margaret Smith Hartzell had siblings although most of them were sisters there were a few brothers. She married a man from Somerset Co. PA but I'm not sure she was born there. Some census's say she was born in VA and some PA. But when his husband was in his 80's (when they married she was but 16 and he 63!) they moved from Somerset to Preston Co. and I'm just wondering if she moved to be closer to family since he was on deaths door (so to speak). He died in 1839. There were quite a few Smith's in Preston at the time and I'm figuring she had kin there. Preston Co. is the first county in WV after you travel South from Uniontown. It is just south of Morgantown. We went there two summers ago but if you don't know where you are going you can get into trouble. We drove and drove and went past Kingwood and then there are no motels or restaurants or anything decent the locals told me until you go over into West Maryland. So we had to turn back and drive all the way back to Morgantown for the night and then my husband said.. "No way!: when I wanted to return the next day. (I'm leaving him home next trip!)

VA. My Gr, gr, Grandfather was Robert S. Smith. Legend and research he came from a large Smith family of the Preston area, which at one time was the VA area. Records are difficult to locate in the time of the civil war era. I do not know if they were from PA or not. All I know is that his father was a wealthy landowner, had several children. Robert left his inheritance and land to go to Michigan, over the controversy of slavery with his father. Where in Preston Co., Is your ancestor from??? Let me know! Thanks!
