Download or read book Cora of French Creek written by Becky Foreman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia to the rolling hills of Ohio, "Cora of French Creek" chronicles the story of a young woman who lived a simple life like so many women of her era. Born and raised on the West Virginia land that has belonged to her family for over one-hundred years, Cora Perry loves the way the mist hangs on the mountains in the mornings. She savors waking to bird song every morning, and falling asleep each night to the sounds of hoot owls and whippoorwills. When the charming Hugh Cutright - a man who loves these mountains as much as she does - asks for her hand in marriage, Cora sees everything she has longed and prayed for coming true. Life, however, does not always unfold as we wish, and Cora's is no exception. But through triumph and tragedy, Cora passes on to her children the lesson that her parents instilled in her - that it is family that holds us together through good times and bad, stitching us together through the generations like the patches of a handmade quilt.

Download or read book The History of Upshur County West Virginia written by William Bernard Cutright and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a body, these records are extracted from roughly 750 known Bibles and extend from the late 18th through the early 20th centuries, with the greatest concentration from the mid-19th century. Most of the entries refer to births, marriages, and deaths and in most cases indicate the name(s) of the principals, the date of the event, and, sometimes, such supplementary information as his/her age or address, the maiden name of a parent, etc. Each Bible record is identified by family name and followed by a reference to the Huguenot Society records where the original can be found. In all, the records refer to more than 2,500 main families named in the surname index at the back of the volume and embrace a staggering 25,000 individuals of Huguenot or possible Huguenot ancestry--connections and allied families that would otherwise be lost to us in the unpublished files of this august organization.

Download or read book A History of Pleasants County West Virginia written by Robert L. Pemberton and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence of ancient moundbuilding civilizations proves that this region along the banks of the Ohio River has been considered prime real estate for a long time. Celeron de Bienville led a military voyage down the Ohio River-known in New France as La Belle Riviere-in 1749, burying lead plates along the way and claiming the land for the king of France. In 1750, the Ohio Company employed frontiersman Christopher Gist to explore the area. But even before Celeron and Gist, hunters and fur trappers penetrated the region. Tensions arose between the Europeans and the native inhabitants, developing into a rash of Indian wars and border rivalries, and producing such legendary figures as Lewis Wetzel, the Indian fighter. The Ohio River was an early highway to the frontier, bringing settlers from Pennsylvania, New York and the other colonies. Some immigrants came from the tidewater areas of Virginia and Maryland, traveling first up the Potomac River and then over the Alleghenies to the Ohio Valley. French, English, Germans, Moravians and others poured into the area. This book encompasses all aspects of the settlement of the area now known as Pleasants County, including: geographical description, rival discoveries and claims between England and France, first settlers, the Revolution, the Civil War, early industries, schools, newspapers, railroads, the oil boom, religious activities and more. The book is brimming with names of Pleasants County citizens, and includes 20 pages of biographical information about the oldest families in the area. It also contains a few portraits and photographs of local scenery.
