    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IEC.2ACE/738.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Joe, the old map I have names the flat area along the East bank of Cheat River where Camp Dawson now sits "Dunkard Bottom". Whetsell School (and presumeably the "Settlement"?) is 3 miles SSE of where Rt 7 crosses Cheat River, just NW of the first fork in Joes Run (counting upstream from Cheat) and there are about a dozen homes within a mile of it, as of the 1923 date on the map. I've never been back the "Whetsell Settlement Road" & don't know if the road is still passable into Rowlesburg or Manheim, or if the Whetsell School building is still there.
