In 1782 Jacob was living on the Ezekiel Feather place near Lenox. After the attack on the Green family in 1788, he went to the Ohio, spending five years with the Wetzel brothers, whose sister he married. After his return he lived some years on the Metzler farm at Morgan's Glade, then lived a while near Zanesville, Ohio, but finished his days as an aged widower on the G. A. Kelley place at the foot of Piney Knob. From this circumstance he was known as "Mountain Jake." He died about 1834. His son John, known as "Wobby Wolfe," from his crooked gait, lived near Centenary Church. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, a blacksmith, and famous bell-maker. George, a second son, was nicknamed "Paddy." He lived on the Frank Kelley place. Lewis, named for his uncle, Lewis Wetzel, and like him a famous

hunter, lived near Cranesville. Augustine lived at L. W. Everly's, and Jacob, or "Yuck," at Mathias Forman's.
George, the second pioneer brother, lived near Cuzzart on the Mar- shall W. Ringer farm. He was one of the first settlers to build a com- modious log house having the chimney in the center. Here he died about 1827, aged near 75, his widow surviving him several years. He is said to have been a Continental soldier in the Revolution.' By one account he did not arrive in Preston until 1807. His sons were Jacob, Daniel, Anthony, Henry, and Martin. The first, known as "Left-Handed Jake," had two sons who went to California as "Forty-Niners." Daniel was a soldier in 1812. Anthony lived at M. W. Ringers, Henry went West about 1835, and Martin lived at Sugar Valley.
Augustine, the third pioneer Wolfe, first lived on the R. R. Spiker farm in Morgan's Glade, but moved not later than 1830 to the N. A. Wilson farm in the Whetsell Settlement. His sons were Philip, George, David, and Joseph. The first moved about 1837 from the B. P. Whetsell farm to the vicinity of Fellowsville. George lived on the Snider farm near Atlantic, David went West and Joseph settled near Amblersburg about 1828.
Samuel Wolfe lived in a cabin on the Matlick farm in Grant. He died there about 1832, and his twelve children, mostly minors, became much scattered. Henry lived near Independence, Michael went to Ohio, Augustine lived at Harmony Grove, Joseph and John lived on Chestnut Ridge just beyond the Pennsylvania line, Jacob lived in Valley, and Peter in Lyon.
Another Wolfe family, perhaps related, came to near Gladesville during the Civil War, the former home having been the valley of Vir- ginia.
Still another Wolfe family came at a recent day from Barbour and settled at Newburg.
John H. Woodward came from Harrison about 1854, but the children of his first wife did not settle here. He located in Reno, where he was married again to the widow of Rawley Criss.
Ezekiel Worley is mentioned by Wiley as a blacksmith anad sickle maker, who came from Philadelphia to Glade Farms in 1770, and after- ward relocated at Hazelton. But the land records of Virginia speak only of Anthony and Joshua, who came to the Sandy Creek Settlement in 1770. By 1797, Joshua had moved on to Ohio. Anthony built a corn-cracker at Hazelton in 1784. There was a younger Anthony and a
408

Joseph, Jr. The widow of the latter married Benjamin Glover. Brice and Nathan went from Philadelphia to Monongalia in 1776. From this branch, William G., of Kingwood, is descended.
John Abraham Wotring came to Aurora in 1788. The present connection is large, and our knowledge of it is imperfect.
Anthony Wright came a considerable time since to the Glades of Valley, but the connection is now in the east of the county.
Vachel Wright came from Somerset to Glade Farms in 1860.
William Yeast came from Garrett to Bruceton in 1870.
John Young, born in 1833, came from Germany in early life. He lived in Reno.
George Zinn is said to have emigrated from Germany in 1776, but there is some suspicion about this date. He seems to have lived several years in the vicinity of Baltimore. About 1796 he moved with William Saylor, his brother-in-law, to what has since been known as the Zinn Settlement. Some years later he moved with a portion of his large family to Harrison. From this emigrant branch the Zinns of that and several adjoining counties are derived. The Preston Zinns are the progeny of Jacob, John, Michael, William, and Samuel. William moved from the Zinn Settlement to Fellowsville about 1832. William B., a son of Jacob, was wealthy, prominent, and influential, and though a slave-holder he took an aggressive stand for the Union in the crisis of 1861. The Rev. Harrison Zinn of Reno has more than once served as county commissioner.
Adam Zweyer came from Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1793, and lived around Harmony Grove. He owned no realty.

CHAPTER VII. A GENEALOGIC OUTLINE.
The purpose of this chapter is to present fundamental genealogic data relating to the families of Preston. For ecenomy of space this information is given in tabular form.
Before consulting the genealogie paragraphs which follow, the reader should note carefully the special abbreviations used, as they are now explained.
m. married
w.
wife
d.
died
k.
killed by accident or in military service
S. unmarried
n. c. no children
out

whereabouts unknown
W
west of Monongahela river
C-2
children of pioneer
c-3
„ grandchildren of pioneer
c-4 ... great grandchildren of pioneer
Monon. Monongalia county
G.D.
Grant District (similar initials for other districts.)
A dash coming where a name should be expected means that the name is unknown.
A pair of hyphens within brackets means that both given name and surname are unknown.
C-2*, or c-3*, means that the list of children which follows is believed to be given in the order of age, or "in rotation."
Such expression as "Ann Brown Smith" refers always to a widow whose maiden name was Ann Brown. Where she is known to have a middle name only, the initial of the same is given, as in the instance, "Ann J. Brown Smith." Where the maiden surname is unknown, the title "Mrs." is prefixed to the late husband's surname.

PRESTON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA
When a small c follows a date, it means that the date given is only approximate, the actual date being unknown.
When a date immediately follows the name of a married consort, it refers to the date of marriage.
When a question mark follows a given name, but not a surname, or vice versa, it means that only the name is in doubt which precedes the question mark.
M? means that we are not sure that the "John Roe" in question was the one who married "Mary Doe." It indicates, however, that a certain "John Roe" did marry a "Mary Doe."
"John Smith of Garrett' would mean John Smith of Garrett county, and not John Smith, son of Garrett Smith.
When a person migrates from Preston, the destination is often indicated.
When a county name is not followed by that of the state to which it belongs, a county of one of the Virginias is to be understood. There are no instances where there is a common name for a county in Virginia and a county in West Virginia. Also, the state name is not given in the case of the neighboring counties of Garrett, Somerset, Fayette, and Greene. There is a Greene county in Virginia and a Fayette county in West Virginia, but neither of these calls for mention in this chapter.
When a star follows the name of the place of destination,-as "Tucker*,"-it means the person married in such place.
"D. '61*," or "k. '61*," refers to a man who lost his life in military service in the war of 1861. But if the year of death is known, it is given accordingly.
A dagger standing after a man's given name means that to the best of our knowledge, there was resident in Preston in 1907, posterity of that person in the male line.
To avoid repetition, descent is reckoned in the male line. Where a daughter marries into another pioneer family, the reader is referred to the same.
Each given name in bold-faced type under the same topic refers to a group-family unrelated to others of the same name, except when such fact is stated. * *
In the opening paragraph of this chapter it was stated that "fundamental" data are presented. The object we have kept in view in preparing this chapter is to trace the line of descent far enough
411
PRESTON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA
forward to enable any interested Prestonian of the present generation to follow back his ancestral tree. In the case of the very earliest settlers, we therefore name not only the children of the pioneer, but his grand- children also, and in a few exceptional instances, his great grandchildren. Where the coming was considerably more recent, only the names of the children are given. Where the coming was quite recent, such men- tion is not given. because it is already a matter of common knowledge. In tracing descent from a pioneer, we have not, as a rule, included the names of posterity still living. However, in lines of legitimate descent, it is believed that the names of grandparents will, in at least nearly all cases, be found in the lists. We have met persons of legitimate ancestry who could not call up the names of all the four grandparents, but there is usually some older friend within easy reach who can remedy the result of such inexcusable heedlessness.
In compiling these genealogical sketches, the compiler has done the best he could with such information as he was able to secure. He has presented them in what seemed the best attainable form. But since he does not by any means profess to be infallible, he does not in any instance vouch for the accuracy of a sketch. Where there are errors, they are as a general thing, due to imperfect knowledge on the part of his informants. Many a gap or omission is because the information which was asked to complete the matter was withheld through in- tentional or unintentional neglect.
When the field notes were taken for this history in 1907, the genea- logic details were carried forward to that date, so far, of course, as our information permitted. The original plan was to incorporate the entire result into the completed book. The change of plan put a dif- ferent phase on the matter. After careful consideration it was decided to publish the portion which now appears.
The published portion is a little more than one-fifth of the entire amount. It does not include mention of persons reported as dying in infancy or before maturity. The unabridged material includes such mention and was collected at a cost of much time and trouble. It will be preserved as historic material by the proprietor of this history. Per- sons wishing to consult it may therefore communicate with him.
It was with reluctance that it was decided not to publish the genea- logic section entire. The information collected therein was gathered without discriminating among the families of Preston, except in in-
412
PRESTON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA
stances where some restraint was obviously required. Furthermore, a local history constructed on the line indicated has a direct appeal to all the people within the county. It is the first portion of the book to be examined.
But the collecting of genealogic data is peculiarly tedious and dif- ficult. It cannot be done in haste if good results are desired. Elderly men and women do not disburden themselves quickly as to their recol- lections of years long passed. Some facts which do not come to mind on the spur of the moment will be given at a subsequent visit, if such visit can be made. Furthermore, the opportunities for error to creep into the work are many and constant. Some informants are far better witnesses than others. None of them are infallible. Two sources of information may not agree. Peculiarities of pronunciation may cause trouble. Through lack of information a good witness may inadvertently be passed by. Then again, some persons think it is enough to speak of an indivdiual as Ham, Sis, or Pet. In a majority of instances, two or more questions are necessary to clear up each isolated statement. Once again, the courthouse fires of 1796 and 1869 left but a small mass of written records to verify or extend the fleeting traditions which were by far the leading source of information. And even the family Bibles and the gravestones would not always agree as to names and dates.
Nevertheless, the public at large expects unqualified fullness and accuracy, although it is impossible to achieve such perfection, even with the expenditure of an unlimited amount of time and money.
