Thanks so much for the Sheriff info. James Stealey was the Sheriff two time and He is our family. I also found the list of Cemeteries and was able to find so many ancestors buried in the Stealey and Middlebourne Cemeteries. i love the WVTYLER-L. It is so full of valuable information. Whoever asks for the sheriffs list...thanks. Donna Stealey (Ingram-Ingraham) is also our family.
