Hi Joe, Do you have any mention of Elliott's around 1810? In particular John Elliott. Bill Elliott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe & Erin Hartman" <wegotrocks@verizon.net> To: wvpresto@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:11:51 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [WVPRESTO] A book on Kingwood 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].

A couple of items are all ... - In January 1841, an academy for the instruction of Preston County youth was established. One of the first trustees was William Elliot. - In 1848, a man named Dr. Elliot (no first name noted) owned a store that burned. The store was in what is now downtown, but there was no fire equipment in those days. The book is sort of sparse on courthouse/genealogic facts, especially before about 1840. =========================== elliottfamily00@comcast.net wrote: >Hi Joe, Do you have any mention of Elliott's around 1810?
