  • Lymanc. Draper J
    GLIMPSES OF THE "HEROIC AGE": WILLIAMDARBY'S LETTERS TO LYMANC. DRAPER J. Gerald Kennedy the final paragraph of "The Wedding," a short story published in Ina Philadelphia monthly in 1836, a writer signing himself "Mark Bancroft" painted this affecting picture of a homestead near Washing- ton, Pennsylvania, which had been abandoned by a pioneer family: "Drawn away by that infatuation which places paradise on the outer verge of civilization,the father, son, and uncle sold their sweet home, and plunged into the deep west, and became utterly lost, long years lost to all my inquiries, and the last time Ipassed the once Osborne cot- tage, Ifound the house disfigured by waste and neglect ;the orchard trees were decayed or dead, and the stumps of the— fine sugar maple shade trees, only stood monuments of barbarism weeds and briars covered the garden." ! Set in the 1790s, the story depicted a period of transition in the Pennsylvania border country, the decade in which the growth of new towns and the cessation of Indian hostilities effectively closed the era of frontier settlement and prompted restless folk like the fictional Osbornes to push farther into the wilderness. Creating a bittersweet conclusion to an otherwise humorous tale, the final lines epitomized the relentlessness of historical change, for the ruined cottage im- plicitly represented a prior attempt to secure happiness "on the outer verge of civilization." The passage expressed a private nostalgia as well,because the author, WilliamDarby (1775-1854) ,had thirty-seven years earlier been caught up in the same "infatuation," leaving his home and family in Washington County to follow the wave of west- ward migration.

  • West Virginia Resources
    Family History Sources in West Virginia the Mountain State Resources West Virginia History The part of Virginia that would later became West Virginia was unknown to the adventurers who settled Jamestown in 1607. With the exception of a few scattered frontier outposts and even fewer permanent settlements, the area remained Native American hunting and battlegrounds until well into the 1700s. While eastern tidewater counties of Virginia were settled by English aristocrats and their descendants, pioneers in western Virginia were generally perceived as a ragtag group from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and other parts of Virginia. The 1790 census lists more than 55,000 residents, of whom about 15,000 were of German descent. English immigrants and their descendants settled in Greenbrier, Library of Congress, “…Miners going into mine 7 A.M Boy beginning New, Kanawha, and Monongahela valleys, career as “picker,” color digital print from black and white negative. while Scots-Irish settlers made their homes in less accessible areas. Less than one percent of the population in 1790 was enslaved. After the Civil War, African Americans from Southern states moved into West Virginia seeking work in the railroads, mines, and industry. When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861 at the start of the Civil War, the majority of those in western parts of the state opposed secession. A series of conventions were held, beginning in 1861, to determine western Virginia's fate. In order to become a new state, approval was required by the states concerned and Congress. The Virginia state government was reorganized on the grounds that the Secession Convention, convened without the consent of the people was invalid and secessionists were no longer entitled to office.

  • First Baptist Church Barnett Hospital and Nursing School
    Surveyed Sites A number of sites with significance to the African American experience in Cabell County were identified through research and interaction with local residents and other informants. These sites are described in the following paragraphs. This is not an all-inclusive list of important African American sites, as further research should be undertaken to reveal other buildings and landscapes that have impacted the African American experience in the county. The general locations of the sites examined in greater detail are indicated on Figure 13. Barboursville Colored School 1125 Huntington Avenue, Barboursville. The town of Barboursville served as Cabell County’s seat of government prior to its removal to the expanding city of Huntington in 1887. Barboursville and Guyandotte were both early communities in the county. The Barboursville Colored School serves as a physical reminder of the segregated educational practices of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Description. The former Barboursville Colored School is located at 1125 Huntington Avenue, Barboursville, West Virginia (Figure 14). The Cabell County Assessor’s Office indicates that the structure was constructed circa 1900. The former school building, oriented to the east, is currently utilized as a residence. The single-story, one-bay (d), frame, hip-roof building exhibits a number of alterations that have taken place over the years, although its basic schoolhouse form is still recognizable (Figure 15). The central, single-leaf entry is filled with a replacement metal, single-light door. The area immediately surrounding the entry, which may have had sidelights, has been encased in vinyl siding. The entry is sheltered by a hip-roof porch supported by replacement metal columns.
