    HISTORY of HANCOCK COUNTY • Virginia and West Virginia o Sacramento Branch Genealogical Library BY JACK WELCH FIRST PRINTING © Copyright, 1963, by Jack Welch All rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions. Published in Wheeling, West Virginia, by The Wheeling News Printing & Litho Co. orewor* The physical features of Hancock County can be described quickly and easily. It is the northernmost county in West Virginia, bounded on the north and west by the Ohio River, on the east by Pennsylvania, and on the south by Brooke County. It is the smallest county in West Virginia with 88.55 square miles. It has three muni­ cipalities (Chester, New Cumberland, Weirton), three magisterial districts (Butler, Clay, Grant), and 37 voting precincts. Its agri­ cultural and industrial products include iron, steel, chinaware, pottery, bricks, fire clay, sheet metal, tin products, apples, dairy foods, and livestock. Hancock County, like any other inhabited area of the world, is more than a tiny block of land furnishing a livelihood for several thousands of people. It is a land that is built upon the labor, the ideals, the lives, and the deaths of those who have gone before. It is a forest turned into a farm, a farm turned into a town, and a town turned into an industrial site employing thousands of people. It is a man chopping a tree in a virgin forest, it is a woman taking up a "fie to protect her family from Indians, it is a man building a school, it is a man building a factory. All these things are Hancock County, as much of a reality as the topographical and statistical elements.

On Thursday, April 8th GeoModel, a company from Leesburg, Virginia specializing in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), was hired by the KBA Board of Dirctors to survey our cemetery to help us deter- mine the number and exact location of the graves. Matt Turner from GeoModel laid out a grid around the existing cemetery and surveyed the entire area. He located 14 gravesites, Pushing his GPR equipment, Matt Turner of GeoModel all located fairly close together, laid east to west. While we have some idea who is buried surveys the Pritchard cemetery. Susan Baldwin’s head- stone stands in the foreground. in the cemetery we will never know who is buried in which grave. However, now when we give tours we can say with certainty that there are at least 14 graves on the hillside. In addition to the one headstone, marked as the grave of Susan (Pritchard) Baldwin, records show the following individuals are also buried on the hill: Susan’s grandfather, Reese Pritchard Jr. (1710 – 1760); her father, Stephen Pritchard I (1745 – 1819); her brother, Stephen Pritchard II (1776 – 1858); and her sister, Margaret (1772 – 1819).

  • John W. Patterson III 30 March 2015 1ST WEST VIRGINIA INFANTRY
    John W. Patterson III 30 March 2015 1ST WEST VIRGINIA INFANTRY - 3 MONTHS (COMPANY D) - 80 MEN The idea that my great uncle’s cousin served with him in Company D during the first 3 months of the call up grew on me. I decided to try and find out more about the other men in that company. The notes below are a collection of information that I collected from the internet. There are sets of history that I am nearly certain of, based on cross correlating 2-3 (or more) sets of records. There are others that appear to be correct, but I’m not certain of; those I marked with “!”. The rest of the men were each noted as having enlisted in Company D in May 1861. But, I have not been able to determine from the records, which set of histories applied to the individual. When I finished the search, I determined that this information, which contains corrections to many records as well summaries of personal histories, might be useful to other family members and researchers. Notes: 1) There are two privates, marked add here that are on the West Virginia unclaimed Civil War Medals1 list for Company D that were not on Linda Fluharty’s list2 or Rawlings History3. Trimbur (Primbur), George Corp. Shuler, William Pvt. 2) There was one name, JOHN STAIGER, that was appears to have been listed as John Shuler in Rawling’s History, and likewise on Linda Fluharty’s website. Pvt.

The following narrative will hopefully, shed some light on one of our ancestors who also lived through a very trying time in the history of our nation. It should make todays difficulties and challenges seem more manageable in comparison. I urge you to share this story with your family and encourage them to share it with theirs in the future. It is a story that should never die within our family. Bartley Cane (it was spelled at times Cain, Kane, and O’ Cane) was already a seasoned veteran of combat having enlisted in 1861 when President Lincoln issued the call for 76,000 volunteers to defend the Union after the firing on Fort Sumpter. He served throughout Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia during his term of service which ended at war’s end in 1865. He married Frances Young during the war and made his home in Paw Paw in what would become West Virginia. She “kept the home fires burning” while he was away on the battlefield. Think of them while you contend with the political and racial turmoil we are going through today. It could be worse! One Hundred Fifty-Six years ago, on the 19th of this month, our ancestor and my paternal Great Grandfather, Bartley Cane was serving as the 1st Sergeant of Company E of the 54th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry regiment and was involved in one of the pivotal battles of the American Civil War.
