WV4 NX-^*- • 00004 n n ^ uij VJ U «J BHME$S Henry Barrickiaan built the first log house In what is now the village of Core, Monongalia County, West Virginia^ This entire area of West Virginia was a vast wilderness* In this huge territory there was not a single Indian Wigwam,, The Indians cane into West Virginia from Ohio/Western Pennsylvaniao At times even from far off Canada, Indiana, or Illinois „ This wilderness of Virginia-later to be called West Virginia was an ideal hunting groundo There were velves, bears, buffaloes, deer, elk* In aboundantly large numbers smaller fur bearing animals such as, jainks, skunks, otters, muskrate, beavers could be hunted® The soil was fertile and easily cultivated, so lt was small wonder that the Barrickmans, always among the first settlers in any area opening up west=> ward could be found planting-shunting and fishing and playing their part in the civil affairs of the community o Henry Barrlekman was the first Barrickaaa immigrant to sef&le at Chambersburg. Franklin County Pennsylvaniao Franklin County having been formed Septo 9g l?8Uj, of a part of Cumberland County, Pennsylvaniao It is reported that while in Chambersburg Pennsylvania, Henry Barriokman born Ca0 172*5, in GermanyB married Abigail Swan of Pennsylvaniao Henry Barrlekman hearing of land opportunies in Fayette County-=«hich in Septo 26, 1783, had been formed o£ a part of Westmoreland County Pennsylvania, left for Fayette County, Pennsylvaniao Fayette County was at this time the goal of the pioneers who sought new homes in South Western Pennsylvania• Most of the pioneers were English-followed by Welsh-Scotch=>Irish and German « They were largley protestant and mainly presbyteriano The Germans rapidley built themselves into rural corammites and were very "Kin conscious" o The Barrickmans generally settled as dose to water as possible* Tales were heard of land down the Monongalia into what is now West Virginian At the time settlements were being made in Virginia, It must be remembered the boundary lines between the colonies were in dispute0 Virginia claims were to land as far north as Pitteburgho William Pen had claimed laud for Pennsylvania that would have extended into the Monongalia region as far to the south as Weston West Virginiao In Morgantoim, West Virginia in 1768, the first permanent settledment was made by the Morgan family0 Micheal Core settled in the Dunkard Creek area of Western Monongalia in 1772, and in 177U Warman Wade settled in Dunkard Creeko It was into these three family groups the Barrickmans were to marry time and again© The Barrickmsn family in German town Fayette, County had earlier married into the Core family-end this may have proved to be the connecting link between the Barrlekman in Fayette County who did remain there as a large family group, and the very large family of Barrickmans who live in West Virginia today o Henry Barrlekman was granted a tract of 178 acres in 1783, at a point where Pedlar*s Run joins Dollys Run, and here Henry built his log cabin0 His neighbor Micheal Core, and an inlaw to Henry Barriekman was eventually to have the "Village of Core", so namedo The original land surveyed October 8, 1802 for Henry Barriekman asse0 of Thomas Laidley asse0 of James Maurey and John Lewis 178 acres of land in Monongalia County on part of a land office warrant for 000 acres of land no0 20U08 dated the 10th day of November, 1783 and entered the 9th day of September 1802 on Pedlar's Run, Book 5~ P-l620 On May 10g 1806 Henry Barriekman and his wife, Abigail sold l6U acres of this tract to Micheal Core,, Micheal was the son of Christopher Core early pioneer in the area, ^ In April of 1806 „ Henry Barriekman had sold 60 acres of another tract of land to Samuel Davis.
