She and Jeremiah were living in Preston Co. for the 1860 census and I have seen data that says they died there arounf 1907-1909.

Carol: Here's the little I could find - > James H. Carroll started a newspaper called "The Preston County Herald" in October, 1870. In 1877, the name was changed to the West Virginia Argus. The paper was printed in the Bishop building on the east side of Price Street. Later they moved across the street ad then to the basement of the Martin building at the corner of Price and Court Streets. > William Carroll opened a store about 1831 on the site of Corbin's storeroom.(?) > The Carroll House, on the west side of Morgantown Street, was built by the father of James Carroll in 1863, James bought the house from his father in 1867. This house was built with local brick. Subsequent owners were General C. C. Pierce, and J. Donald (Happy) Everly. Happy also started the Hotel at the Inn in September 1932. (There's a pic of the Carroll house in the book, but this group doesn't allow pics to be posted.)

After getting few requests, I should probably clarify the scope of this little book I have. The guy that wrote the book (W. G. [Bill] Williams) got his research material out of the two "Preston County History " books, the Preston County Journal newspaper, and the Kingwood Library. There's no real genealogical info in the book, nor is there any attempt to document any or all of the residents of Kingwood. It's mostly about how Kingwood (the town - not the residents) came to be over the decades and centuries. If there is a reference to people, it's because they played a significant part in the history of the town - owned a business, built a significant building, had something to do with the history of the town or the state, etc. Some sections have no mention of any people at all - for example, there are a few paragraphs about the cannon in front of the courthouse. If you have any ideas that your ancestors may have fallen into any of those categories, then they may be mentioned in the book. There are entire sections devoted to early store owners, to James Clark McGrew (he was a VA and WV legislator), to William G. Brown (another VA and WV legislator), to Elihu Gregg (he burnt the courthouse), to William Mercer Owens Dawson (he once owned the Preston County Journal), etc. This may just be a book documenting all that Bill Williams knew about the history of Kingwood! But ... I'll keep trying to find folks if you keep requesting.

RCF: Didn't see any, but this little book only seems to have info on folks who owned businesses or built large houses that were downtown or in the close vicinity of downtown Kingwood. There's quite a bit of stuff on certain people, but abolutely none on most of the others. One of my ancestors has a street names after him/her - the street is only a few block off downtown, but there's no mention of these folks except for one guy who apparently owned a small store!

Thanks, Debbie Sanders All: I have a small book on the History of Kingwood ("Indians plus the first 150 Years") by Bill Williams. I've had it for some time, but just recently got the urge to read it again. My original intention was to create a (sort of) index to the names included, but his writing style isn't very organized (no offense, Bill) to do that, so it early on became way more trouble that it would probably have been worth. At any rate, I can look up some name/info if folks out there have any kind of date references - that's how the book is organized. As a caveat, please don't send a "give me all the information on ..." kind of message - the way the book is written, I'd have to go through the entire thing for each request. This is the kind of info included: Jacob Funk built a tannery in 1810, on the north side of Main Street, near the intersection of Sigler Street. Funk sold his tannery to William Sigler in 1813. BTW: I don't subscribe to any of the groups that are gatewayed from RootsWeb, so if you make a request, it'll have to be to and from this ListServ group [WVPRESTO].

Henry was a "cabinetmaker", which may mean undertaker in those days. ; ) I have never seen anything about a "Parks store". Will be interesting to find out, tho.
