Sorry..the following information is only partially correct: Grandma said her parents(Benjamin Franklin Seckman(b: 1834 Greene Co., Pa.) and Sarah Jane Coen b:1838 Oh Co. Va)) and Grandparents(Phillip Seckman and Sarah "Sallie" Custer) moved to Tyler County(which later became Pleasants) because it was so beautiful with mountains and rivers. The timber was unspoiled and thick with wild game. The soil was rich and her people raised beef, horses and sheep. The railroad came through and made travel pleasurable. Phillip Seckman was the Grandfather of Benjamin Franklin Seckman. His Grandmother was Anna Elizabeth Belloman. Benjamin Franklin was the son of Samuel Seckman b: 1810 who married Sarah "Sallie" Custer b: 1812. Samuel and his wife Sarah "Sallie" moved to Tyler County close to 1834. They are listed in the 1850 Tyler Co census. Please email if more clarification is needed, Lenore
