Wolf Creek is more in Monroe County than Summers. There are two towns: Wolf Creek Station at the mouth and Wolf Creek to the east.

So there is something actually called Wolfe Creek in that Summers Co. area? I have Entsmingers buried there but assumed Wolfe Creek was just the name of the river and they obviously lived along it (somewhere).

Greenbrier Fort Erected about 1771 by Captain Peter Vanbibber, situated on Wolf Creek near site of Lowell,Summers county, scene of attack on Graham family in 1777, possibly also known as Jarrett's Fort This was taken from the West Virginia History Journal Richard Graham
http://www.wvculture.org/HISTORY/journal_wvh/wvh1-2-4.html
Thanks everyone who answered my request for info on Jarrett's Fort on Wolf's Creek. Although the building of the fort has been attributed to James Jarrett (who lived on Muddy Creek), I believe it was built by his older brother, David who had 270 acres on "Woolf Creek", a branch of the Greenbrier on South side of Greenbrier River on Woolf Creek" in 1774. But the deed records are fairly skimpy in details of location. When I was at the Greenbrier Historical Society a couple of years ago, I was told that the flats around the mouth of Wolf Creek were called Jarretts Meadows or Jarretts Flats. Then later someone else told me that one of the universities was planning to do an archaeological dig of Jarrett's Fort but that it was located much farther up Wolf Creek, going toward town of Wolf Creek which appears to be pretty hilly country. I've often wondered if it was built on the same site as an earlier fort built by Henry Baughman and attacked by Indians in 1755. The original Greenbrier Company Land records and Botetourt Surveyors Records Bk 1:192) are somewhat confusing in describing Henry Baughman's land opposite the mouth of Muddy Creeke on south side of Greenbrier River" and "including the mouth of Wolfe, patented to Henry Baughman 10 Aug 1759 and conveyed by him to Gen. Andrew Lewis...which said land is known by the name of Baughman's Place." I'd really like to pin it down!

History of Summers county, WV, by James Miller, page 41 "Capt Jarrett, whose descendants now live in Greenbrier-Hon Hickman Jarrett being one of them, now living at Blue Sulpher Springs-built the fort on Wolfe Creek known as the Wolfe Creek, or Jarrett's Fort. Jarretts's Fort is reported to have been on the Greenbrier side of Greenbrier River, and was therefore in Summers County at Newman's Ferry." To get to Wolfe Creek, you use Rt 3 from Hinton, Summers Co., WV. It is just above Pence Springs, Summers Co., WV. A topo map shows that Wolfe Creek is in Monroe Co. Monroe Co is across the river from Pence Springs. Rt 3 takes you into Alderson, Greenbrier Co., WV. There is a bridge in Alderson that cross' Greenbrier River and this is still Rt 3, Monroe Co., WV, which takes you to Wolfe Creek Station and goes on into Wolfe Creek it self in Monroe Co., WV. Wolfe Creek Station from the topo map sits right on the Summers and Monroe Co line. Not sure if this is what you want If you have never been there this is a nice country drive. I have the Jarrett line also. I have always thought that the Jarrett Fort sit at Wolfe Creek Station.

One reburied in our family cemetery ( Butler ) was James Conrad Peters. I think this was done by a grand daughter as she was an Anderson. Almost everyone buried there is related to an Anderson or Butler-both being my lines. Shirley
According to Morton's History of Monroe "On Crump's Bottom was Culbertson's Fort, and near the mouth of Wolf was Jarrett's Fort. " pages 44-45 Johnston in "A History of the Middle New River Settlements and Contiguous Territory" speaks of Jarrett's Fort and Keenan's Fort on page 63 and men gathering there during the attack on Donnally's Fort. Something additional may be learned from Giles Co Court records as he mentions that Josiah Meadows made a statement ref same in his pension application in 1832. {this suggests also that earlier Giles or Boutetort records may disclose more detail on the location you seek} Vernon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sara Patton" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 3:53 PM Subject: [WVSUMMER] Jarrett's Fort > Does anyone on the Summer Co List know the location of Jarrett's Fort > during the Rev War?

I have seen a county ASC photo taken from a Satellite, and their is a round higher piece of ground showing up on it like a stockade or something it is very distinctive showing up in the picture it could very well be a old Fort or where it was, it is on the Greenbriar River East of where Graham Ferry was, across the river from the Graham Cabin in Lowell West Virginia.

Washington St. Lewisburg, WV 24901 Telephone: 304.645.3398 This book is not a genealogy book; although it does have a bit of genealogy in it. It is more a description of what life was like in early Greenbrier Co, beginning with history of the first settlers, what it was like to live off the land and make your own clothes, up to the many changes before 1970. Helen Lewis Lindsley wrote this manuscript as a history of the area, and to record many oral stories passed down, to leave for her family. The manuscript was in the family until 2006, when a nephew, Charles Lewis, met with Herb Debke, and together they decided it was time to have it printed and for wider distribution. From Herb Depke's introduction: "Helen's manuscript came from the pen of a Universal Woman, wise, witty and timeless. Her stories include more than 180 surnames of Greenbrier, Monroe, and regions of the Old Dominion. Though she briefly discussed the area's geological history for the dawn of time through 1970, she concentrated on the rural life of the early 1900's. Her considerable observational powers paint fine word pictures. "The War" is also a conspicuous subject. (The Civil War: 1861-1865). Helen's manuscript is truly one of Greenbrier's historical and literary jewels." If you had ancestors in early Greenbrier, you will probably find this book interesting. The only reason I am touting this book is because I think it is an excellent book. Carol
