After looking at a map from the 1870 census which showed the districts, I believe it is the big hill you go down when traveling from Kingwood to Albright. Cheat River runs across the bottom of it and it is near the Pleasants district. I will call my parents and ask them to be sure. I hope this helps.

Cheat Hill is a designation used rather loosely, maybe because there wasn't a post office near by. Beech Run Hill in Pleasant Dist, for example, could be considered on Cheat Hill since the land "runs down" to the Cheat River. Many hills along the Cheat River, further South and in different districts, were also referred to as Cheat Hill. What family are you trying to "place"?

Ron, contact your nearest Daughter's of the American Revolution Chapter and a member can access National and get some information for you. If your Revolutionary War Ancestor lived in Pennsylvania you can request Revolutionary War Record by sending to U.S. War Records, Pennsylvania Archives, in Philadelphia, PA. I received my ancestor's record many years ago. There is a fee, but I have forgotten how much.

Cupp and Christine Ringer abd that his wife Sarah was the daughter of Susan Benson and Jonathan Spiker. In my search for the parents of my great grandfather, William H. Cupp I have been in touch with some descendants of this couple. I found the WW I draft registration for Emery. His date of birth was 10 Feb 1876 and was employed by R. R. Willott as a farmer. His wife Mrs Sarah E. Cupp is listed as his contact person. JoAnn Cupp joanncupp15566@att.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Jane, Thank you for the information. Another lister gave me your wvculture web site, and I will be spending some time there. Elizabeth Kessler (nee Brumbaugh) Donovan was born 7/19/1875 to William Brumbaugh and Elizabeth Kessler in VA. I think. She was married to Charles Franklin Donovan in 1898 at Hudsons Crossroads in Shenondoah county, VA.. Your Houston may be a cousin to Elizabeth since they are both from VA., but it would require a search of both their parents to see if they are related.Thanks Again.

There is a Death Record for Elizabeth at the WV Archives but it appears they have not yet microfilmed her full death cert. so this record does not say where she is buried, but it does give you her dod. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=4770690&Type=Death Just today I discovered a Brumbaugh, in a branch of my Hartman family, with the place of birth listed as Virginia. He is listed as Houston Curtis Brumbaugh b. 8 Dec 1897, according to his WWI Draft Reg. Card, and who m. Nellie Virginia Hartman b. 1898 in Upshur Co. WV and died in Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN (if I've found the right one.) According to Nellie's Mother's 1938 obituary, Mrs. H.C. Brumbaugh was living in Morgantown, WV. According to the 1900 Census, Houston C. Brumbough b. VA was living at Ryans Glade, Garrett Co., MD with parents listed as Joseph W. b. Jun 1861 VA and Anni E. b. Jun 1866.
