Would also be interested in knowing if there is an online index for the 1870 census for Preston County.

Does anyone recall, was Strawberry Plains once the name of Terra Alta? I know I have read about Strawberry Plains being a former name of some location and now I can't recall where it was, nor can I find it mentioned in any of my books. Any help with this will be appreciated. Pat-T

I've been talking with my mom about the Schaeffer name because her mother was Otta Schaeffer. My mom had some friends, Dan and Elizabeth (Westerman) Shaffer. Dan was from Rowlesburg and Elizabeth's dad was Fred Westerman who had a plumbing business there in Kingwood. Dan and Elizabeth had one child, Rebecca. They moved to Orlando, Florida in the 1960's. Dan, Elizabeth, and Rebecca have all passed away. Roy Lockhart <[email protected]> wrote: Rosalie, Mary Frances (Hewitt) Shaffer is buried in Riverview Cemetery at Rowlesburg.

Janice, No interruption, your input is always appreciated. I am just not as familiar with Preston Co. as I would like to be. I always hope to visit that area more often & I am anxious to learn what I can about it. Thanks Take Care Pat H.

Pat - King's book refers to the cemetery you mentioned as Cuppett farm - it is near Clifton. The one at Glade Farms has been referred to as Cuppett-Teets. Glade Farms is on Route 26 North of Brandonville near the Pennsylvania line. Excuse the interruption. I just forgot that people of the same last names ere also buried in the cemetery at Clifton.

Janice, Where exactly is Glade Farms?? I have heard of it, but not sure that I have been there. This Cuppett-Teets Cem. where my grandparents are buried is on the hill behind the (Levi) Teets farm. It is on Clifton Mills road past the Clifton Mills Church & the old Mosser home. We have to walk up the hill, past the old Teets farmhouse & barn, through the fields and among the cows. Several years ago, Russ Ringer told me that he & his son had replaced the fence around the cemetery. I think it was formerly a chicken wire fence now it is white wooden post fence. I took some photos but some were not readable. Some buried there are; Elmer & Mollie Cuppett (Elmer-- 1878--1950, only birthyear Mollie--1888--don't know if she is really buried there???) Belva Collier d. 1899-- age 10 yr. d/o W.M. & M.Z. Collier Mary Collier wife of J. Collier 1823/8 d. June 1905 Mosser-- L. Harry (Lindly Harrison 1865-- 24 May 1940 & Elizabeth B. (Boger) 1868--1940 (Lindly "Harry" was brother to my grandfather Hampton F. Mosser) Jackson Collier--- d.1883 aged 51 yr Wm. & Sadie C. Collier --Sadie C. died 28 Nov. 1918 aged 45 yrs 1 mo. 23 dys. no dates for William C. Collier And---my Mosser family---Hampton, Mary Agnes Shaffer Mosser, twins Oscar Earl & Edna Marie. and many others of which I could not read the stone/markers. Do any of these names sound familiar as being in Glade Farm Cemetery ?? Any help or suggestions most welcome... Let me know if I can help you in any way.... Take Care Pat H.
