Hampshire County Library Index of History & Genealogy Files HAMPSHIRE COUNTY LIBRARY INDEX OF HISTORY & GENEALOGY FILES Editor’s Notes The Hampshire County Library has been in existence since the American Legion Auxiliary assumed the project in 1935. The site of the library moved from the basement of the courthouse to the first floor of the old Literary Hall to the second floor of the courthouse. In 1967, the current library on Main Street was dedicated. The genealogy room began under the efforts of Mrs. R. M. Golladay. Over the years the responsibility for answering genealogy requests have moved from Mrs. Golladay to Miss Mary Pugh to Vickie Horton. Currently there is no one to perform this task. With the beginning of computer technology and online searches like Ancestry.com, have made personal on-site research somewhat obsolete. Yet, people still continue to visit the second-floor room overlooking the ground floor of the library. Few responses from Mrs. Golladay are seen in the files. Miss Mary Pugh, my 7th grade Geography teacher, genealogy mentor, and friend, took control of the genealogy room and organized the files, books, and other resources. The room is dedicated to her. She returned hundreds to letters and provided answers in her small, faint, pencil-written notes. They are difficult to see but you will know they are hers. Vickie Horton, who produced a number of resource books for records of Hampshire County followed Miss Pugh and was prolific in her answering of genealogical request. Nowadays research has turned to the internet but there may be some little “nuggets” of information within the files at the library. When the pandemic hit, I wondered how researchers would be able to access the files. Miss Pugh referred to them as her “vertical files”. They occupy two, five-drawer file cabinets and are filled with family histories, donated materials from visitors, local organizations, and articles clipped from publications. I began scanning these files during the winter of 2020-2021. I would take one drawer at a time. I would organize the file to the best of my ability by page number, content, etc. and then scan the document, name the file, and save to a portable hard drive. I completed the project in June of 2021. In all, there were 2,838 files in 794 folders totally 10.2 GB of information. Access to these files will eventually become available on Internet Archives with the assistance of Nick Gardner from Potomac State Library. Until then the best way to get the files is to email me [email protected] or message me through Facebook. I will send you your requested files, if they are small enough, usually smaller than 25 MB. Please be patient with the answer to your request. I will do my best to keep up, but this is a busy time of the year for me (August & Sept. of 2021). The list of folders are listed below.

  • The Cacapon Settlement: 1749-1800 31
    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.

SHAFER ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY SANDRA L. STEINER BALL J. F. LACARIA BISHOP ASSISTANT TO THE BISHOP February 24, 2016 Dear Members and Friends of the West Virginia Conference, “You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; and the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12 Deploy! That is the theme of the 2016 Annual Conference. When I arrived in 2012, we talked about new beginnings. At that time, we committed ourselves to take a serious look together to discern how we could discover, develop, and deploy passionate spiritual clergy and lay leadership for the purpose of leading us into being a spiritual breath of fresh air bringing transformation to God’s people, the church, and the world. For this annual conference, “deploy” means much more than being sent out or assigned to do something. Picture “deploy” as bursting forth, like a milk weed pod bursts open to send seeds out. To “deploy” is to recognize and to take action – bursting forth – responding to our call to make Christ known in such a way that others will be “birthed” into discipleship. It is with this theme and mission in mind, that I issue the call to join me for our Annual Conference gathering on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College on June 9 - 12. As I visit churches and districts, I continue to discover a thirst among people to be co-creators with God, to burst forth to make Christ known, and to walk with people into discipleship.
