David D. Arnold, s/o Benjamin Arnold and Jane (Jackson?) was a CW pensioner. In 1913, he presented the family Bible as proof of his age. The Bible's first entry was in Nov 1818 which coincides with the birth of Benjamin's first child. At that time the Bible was almost one hundred years old. I would of course be very interested in learning if the Bible still exists and where it might be or if someone know if its contents have been previously published? Benjamin was the probably son of John Arnold and Jemima Jackson. However Benjamin seems to have been much travelled, and the Arnold family historians I have come across have little or no information about. He was apparently married three times: 1) Suannah Wamsely, 1816 in Randloph County, (W)VA; 2) Jane (Jackson?); and third to my ancestor Drusannah/Drusilla (Dye) Ledsome, 1851 in Wirt Co. H. Michael McTeer Thanks Mrs. Spencer for your response to my question on the Historical Society.

Will resend to you, the cemetary. Buffalo Church is located on the Wirt C. page, under cemetaries. That area is where my family lived. Good luck! Barb P.S. Independence cemetary is very big, and l have only done one third of it. It will take a few weeks, hang in there. <G> I am sure there are more of your surnames there.
Hi, My April 21, 1999 edition of the Wirt County Journal has arrived folded, spindled and mutilated. Could someone please send me the contents of France's Corner in the bottom of the Remember When ... column. Thanks Mark
The Buffalo Church Reunion will be held on Sunday May 30th at 11:00. The log church was built in 1884 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a good chance to visit the cemetery there and talk with descendants of those buried there or those who attended the church. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Hi. For some reason I never got the first two parts of the Independence Cemetery you have been sending. Could you resend parts 1 and 2, privately if need be? I really appreciate your taking the time to make these public!! Thanks! PS: do you have Buffalo Cemetery by any chance?

I am wondering what genealogical 'services' or activities the society will be engaging in or attempting. I note the application provides for surname queries but he 'mission' statement (on the Wirt County website) does not include genealogy. Thanks, H. MIchael McTeer (Of course I shall be joining anyway)
