  • 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.

Corriher 2012 All Rights Reserved Abstract AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC CURRICULUM FOR APPALACHIAN STUDIES: MERGING HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE THEORIES AND METHODS Donna T. Corriher, B.A., Appalachian State University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Eugenia Cecelia Conway This thesis is a curriculum for the interdisciplinary field of Appalachian Studies using writing and an autoethnographic method. This method empowers students as it allows them to choose their own topics for research, encourages student exploration of the cultural environment of Appalachia as related to or compared with their own, and places the classroom in the hands of the students. The design of the curriculum and the autoethnographic method can be applied to other regional studies and to other disciplines. Combining autoethnography and teaching reveals the ways these underpinnings of the curriculum support personal invention in the classroom. This combination of autoethnography and Appalachia is innovative and new. Several researchers use other related methods like participant observer that contribute to our understanding of autoethnography.
