HOLLAND, Ea’z'tor PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD or TRUSTEES 01'-‘THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OCTOBER, I904 I. MINUTE (OR ORDER) BOOK OF THE VIRGINIA COURT HELD FOR OHIO COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AT BLACK’S CABIN (NOW WEST LIBERTY, W. VA.), FROM JANU­ ARY 6, I777, UNTIL SEPTEMBER 4, 1780, WHEN ITS JURISDICTION OVER ANY PART OF PENNSYLVANIA HAD CEASED. EDITED uv BOYD CRUMRINE, or WASHINGTON, PA. INTRODUCTION. There have now been published the Minutes of the Virginia Court held for the District of West Augusta, first at old Fort Dunmore, now Pittsburgh, Pa., and for a while at Augusta Town, now Washington, Pa., 1775-1776 (Ann. Car. Mus., Vol. I, pp. 525-568) and also the Minutes of the Virginia Court held for Yohogania County, first at Augusta Town, and afterwards on the Andrew Heath farm, near West Elizabeth, 1778-1780 (I. c., Vol. II, pp. 71-140, and pp. 205-429). As stated in Vol. I, on p. 524, the Minute- or Order-books of the Court held for Monongalia County, at the house of Theophilus Phillips, on George’s Creek, in the southern part of what is now Fayette County, Pennsylvania, were destroyed on the burning of the Court House at Morgantown in I796. Therefore, the records of that Court, having jurisdiction over the southern part of what is now Fayette County, the southeastern part of the present Washington County, and more than half of the eastern part of the present Greene County, Pennsylvania, cannot now be reproduced. But, fortunately, when the Court for Ohio county, Virginia, was removed from Black’s Cabin, on Short Creek, to Wheeling, in 1797, its records also were removed and are still to be found in the office of the Clerk of the County Court, in the Court House for Ohio County in that city. These records of Ohio County, much used for over one hundred and twenty-five years, are in many places almost illegible, notwith­ standing the great care that has been taken to preserve them ,- yet, because of the fact that, until the Virginia jurisdiction was entirely 5 (5 ANNALs or THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. withdrawn from Pennsylvania, a large part of the territory in what is now Washington and Greene Counties, Pennsylvania, was within the jurisdiction of the Ohio County Court, of Virginia, it is proper that so much of these records as were made prior to August 28, 1780, when the last term of Court was held for Yohogania County, should also be published. The Act of the Virginia Assembly of October, 1776, which divided the District of West Augusta into the three new counties, Ohio, Yohogania, and Monongalia, also established the boundary line be­ tween the County of Augusta and the District of West Augusta, which line had before that time been undefined. It was then defined as follows : “ Beginning on the Allegheny mountains between the heads of the Potowmack, Cheat, and Green Briar Rivers; thence along the ridge of mountains which divides the waters of Cheat river from those of Green Briar, and that branch of the Monongahela called Tygers Valley river, to the Monongahela river; thence up the said river and the west fork thereof to Bingeman’s creek, on the northwest side of the said west fork, thence up the said creek to the head thereof; thence in a direct course to the head of the Middle Island creek, a branch of the Ohio, and thence to the Ohio, including all the waters of the said creek in the aforesaid District of West Augusta; all that territory lying to the northward of the aforesaid boundary, and to the west­ ward of the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland, shall be deemed and is hereby declared to be within the District of West Augusta.” Then follow the provisions establishing out of the District of West Augusta the new counties of Ohio, Yohogania, and Monongalia, and the division lines between them, as quoted in Vol. II, p. 74 of these ANNALS.‘ ’ By reference to our map of the District of West Augusta, fac­ ing 1). 518, Vol. I, of these ANNALS,studied in connection with the division lines of the three new counties made from said District, as shown in Vol. II, p. 74, it will be seen that the northern end of the present “ Panhandle” of West Virginia, was put into Yohogania County. But on the settlement of the boundary controversy by the 1For the entire act and other interesting matters relating to the subject, see Crum­ rme-._-‘. s History of Washington County (1882), p. I83 and notes, l w w « u MINUTES OF COURT FOR OHIO Cou.\n'v. 7 Baltimore Conference of 1779 (Vol. I, p. 522, of these ANNALS),the portion of Yohogania County north of Cross Creek was at first put into Ohio County, and subsequently became Brooke County.‘ It will also be seen that Ohio County, as originally created, ex­ tended northward to the mouth of Cross Creek, southward to the mouth of Middle Island Creek, and from the Ohio River, eastward, so as to include the present townships of Hopewell, Independence, Buf­ falo, Blaine, Donegal, East Finley, and West Finley, and parts of Canton and Franklin in Washington County, as well as perhaps the western one—third of Greene County, Pennsylvania. Thus it was that a large part of the transactions of the early Ohio County Court of Virginia related to the business and protection of inhabitants of Washington and Greene counties, Pennsylvania. Black’s Cabin where the first courts of Ohio County were held, was on the north fork of Short Creek, about eleven miles northeast from Fort Henry, now Wheeling, and about six or eight miles northwest from West Alexander, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. There was Vanmeter’s Fort, and not far away was Rice’s Fort on Buffalo Creek in Washington County, Pennsylvania; and Beeman’s and Ryerson’s stations in Greene county, and Fort Jackson, now Waynes­ burg. And it will be remembered that in the days of this early court, before Washington, town or county, was thought of, the people who looked to it for protection to their lives and property were on the frontiers of civilization ; across the Ohio was a wilderness of savages, the enemies of civilization. Our present knowledge of events in these times will be freshened and confirmed by entries made in the course ofj.udicial business shown in these records. Ohio county, Virginia, like Washington County, Pennsylvania, has been shorn ofits magnificent proportions. Its southern part has been made into a number of new Virginian (now West Virginian) counties, and its northern part, above the mouth of Short Creek, has been divided into Brooke and Hancock counties, while, by the actual run­ ning of the western boundary of Pennsylvania, in 1784-5, it lost all its old possessions in Pennsylvania. Following the records of the early Ohio County Court we shall later give the contents of a small manuscript volume containing the ‘See History of Augusta County, Va., by Lewis Peyton, p. 177. 8 ANNALS or THE CARNEGIE IVIUSEUM. records of deeds, etc., proved before the court for the district of West Augusta, 1775-1776, and ordered to be recorded. The records referred to embrace conveyances made by many of the early settlers, and include permits by the commandant at Fort Pitt, for the occu­ pancy and cultivation of portions of the “ King’s Orchards,” etc., and will be very interesting to the student of the early history of Pittsburgh and its vicinity. ORDER-BOOK No. 1. BLAcK’s CABIN, OHIO COUNTY, Jan. 6“.‘, 1777. (1) In pursuance of an order of the General assembly of this Commonwealth for the division of the district of West Augusta into three distinct Counties, whereof the County of Ohio is one distinct & separate County, Agreeable to its Circumscribing Boundaries ; In Complyance with which & Certain other Instructions directed to John M°Colloch, Esq., directing him, the 5.‘?M°­ Colloch, to summon the several landholders within sf?

Tom Thomas, President Autumn 2007 Volume 2007, Issue 4 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT … TOM THOMAS This fall has been extremely quiet at the Sedgwick House Museum. After a summer in which the number of visitors was rather poor, we are trying to find ways to bring people into our facility. Once school started, the Martins Ferry School District’s second graders came as a follow-up to a reading story they shared about a visit to a museum. We were able to give them a real life experience as a conclusion to their classroom work. Now we are doing some remodeling inside the museum, including new carpeting in the parlor, thanks to the Belmont County Tourism Council grant money. We will not be decorating and opening for the Christmas season as we have in the past. The reason is very simple…no one came! We are also looking forward to the opening of the new school facility on the Ayers’ property at the head of Carlisle Street. When the current school buildings are closed, some of the educational memorabilia will be housed in the Sedgwick House Museum. Vice-president Barb Shrodes and I are also involved with the MARTINS FERRY HALL OF HONOR. This hall has been established to honor Ferrians who have in some way affected or aided the city of Martins Ferry or brought fame or notoriety to the city. Plaques will be issued for each member and hung in the city library. All expenses will be paid by the Citizens Bank.

Hall Zane Grey presented to readers of his early Frontier Trilogy1 a version of the frontiersman type in Lewis Wetzel, the famed Deathwind, scourge of Delawares and Shawnees in the Ohio Country. Grey's Wet­ zel is a wilder version of traditional frontier characters like Daniel Boone and the fictional Leatherstocking (Natty Bumppo) of James Fenimore Cooper. 2 John Hollow notes that Grey probably did not have access to, or did not use, some of the earlier treatments of the historical Lewis Wetzel (1764-1808), instead relying on biographical fact and legend about him from other sources (Hollow 118).

    The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers, and the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in Indian Country, 1750-1774 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissah J. Pawlikowski Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Advisor Dr. Lucy Murphy Dr. Margaret Newell Copyright by Melissah J. Pawlikowski 2014 Abstract “The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers & the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in the Indian Country, 1750-1774” explores the creation of a European & Indian commons in the Ohio Valley as well as an in-depth examination of the network of interethnic communities and a secondary economic system created by refugee Euroamerican, Black, and Indian inhabitants. Six elements of creolization—the fusion of language, symbols, and legal codes; the adoption of material goods; and the exchange of labor and knowledge—resulted in ethnogenesis and a local culture marked by inclusivity, tolerance, and a period of peace. Finally this project details how, in the absence of traditional power brokers, Indians and Europeans created and exchanged geopolitical power between local Indians and Euroamericans as a method of legitimizing authority for their occupation of the Ohio Valley. ii Vita 2005 ...............................................................
