If Janice Sisler is checking this group - she'd be your best bet. She's published a couple of books about the cemetaries of Presotn County.

Their web site is www.hackerscreek.com . They have a lot of records of cemeteries in central W.Va. that people of visited and extracted tombstone information. I visited there last year and could have spent hours there just going through those records. I'm not sure how many cemeteries in Preston Co are covered but it wouldn't hurt to ask them. > >Important Note: >The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

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]. Joe H.
