An addition to this: TWP means township. The transcription I have uses township and district interchangeably.

I am curious about the Hall family that is in Raleigh County. Is anyone doing that family??? I just recently found a direct line to a Hall family up in Bedford Co, PA. It's back in the 1700's though, and I was just curious as to where the Raleigh Co Halls originated from. Gracie

There is an interesting story in today's Ledger about WV, go to www.theledger.com 2000 is the section you want in the top right of the first page

Looking for the Ancestral line for Hurtson CLAY b. ~ 1875 in Raleigh Co. (?) WV. He had a Son, Milton CLAY b. ~ 1900 and he had a Son, Herbert that lives in Greenville, Monroe Co., WV. Thanks. Tim Spradling
