I have a copy of " Pioneers of Preston" compiled by Janice Cale Sisler and wanted to let all of you know it is a genealogical gold mine of early county surnames and little tidbits of info about the families. This is an addendum to Morton's History. Thanks Janice for a great resource and for donating the proceeds to the Preston County Historical Society. For your info : "Main Street Deli and Diner " in Terra Alta has copies of all the books offered by the historical society where you can review the books before buying, these include : " Images of America, Preston County" by Charles Thomas. " Preston County , Va, { WVA} Records" by Roy Lockhart. "Pioneer Families" Janice Cale Sisler "The Past is a Key to the Future", Betty White. and the reprint of "Preston County WVa History". other research materials are printed and indexed census records for Preston- 1850, 1860, 1870, some marriage records , 1860 to 1885 I think.. This place is clean and has really good food at good prices the only drawback is NO COPY MACHINE.
