Hello: I am looking for any information on the Van Chapel Church in Arnett, WV Raleigh County. I had heard that someone by the name of Freda Dickens had researched the history of the church. Freda probably has a different last name. Sincerely, Jeanne Maschari bannkerjeanne@comcast.net

Thanks Anita. I do not have access to the 1870 census, but maybe I wil remember that. The family I am interested in is Sarah (Daniels) McMillion/McMillian my ggggrandmother Matilda Jane McMillion was living with her in the 1860 Census, and I can't find her after that. I know she was still alive in 1876. My home page at www.McMillionfamily.com explains my connection to Raleigh.

Mike, I just look at the 1860 census for Raleigh Co and the names listed for Neighborhood of Sand Branch are not names that are in the Sand Br. area I believe that it is a mistake. Look at the 1870 census and you will find these same people (or most of then in Clear Fork or Marsh Fork area). anita

The book has lots of pictures of coal mines and miners and I did not see anything on McMillion's of Sand Branch. Mike instead of Sand Branch could it have been Sand Lick that the McMillion lived. anita

I have a question about Sand Branch as well actually, a few questions: Were there actual published geographic boundaries defining the following districts: Shady Springs, Marsh Fork, Slab Fork and yes, Sand Branch???
