CLAY DISTRICT is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, from which it is separated by the Mason and Dixon line ; on the east it is bounded by Cass District, and on the south-east by . Grant District ; on the south it is bounded by Marion County, and on the west by Battelle. In shape the district is rather long, extending from east to west.
Clay constituted the eastern part of the Seventh and the north-western part of the Eighth (constabulary) District as established in 1807. In 1831, Clay comprised the western and north-western part of the Third and a small part of the Fourth (constabulary) District. In 1852, Clay District comprised about all of the Sixth (magisterial) District, excepting a strip upon which Blacksville is situated, and which was in the Seventh District. In 1863, Clay Township was established, embracing the territory of the present district, and named in honor of Henry Clay. In 1873,

HISTORY OF MONONGALIA COUNTY.
Clay Township, by a change of designation merely, became the present Clay District.
The slope of the district is principally to the north, in the direction of its main streams, Day's, Jake's and Doll's runs, which empty into Dunkard creek; while in the south-west the head-waters of Little Paw Paw drain it, and in the south-east Big Indian rises. Dunkard creek runs from west to east through the district in the extreme north. So many streams separated by high dividing ridges, make the surface very broken and hilly, yet the soil is rich and very productive. It is, principally, a heavy clay loam, with a rich sand loam in some of the creek valleys and on some chestnut ridges. Wheat is said to average from 7 to 20 bushels per acre; corn, 20 to 75; oats, 20 to 40; potatoes, 75 and 150. Small fruits and vegetables do very well, but apples-especially winter varieties-are the main crop. Pears, cherries and plums are raised, while peaches are sometimes raised, but not relied on as a regular crop. Hay yields from one to two tons per acre.
Heavy forests once clothed the hills and grew along the the streams. A large amount has been cut away, yet a large body of very fine timber extends from Jake's to Day's run. Oak and poplar are still abundant, with some chest- nut, some walnut, much hickory, some ash, but little pine, and plenty of beech and sycamore.
The great seam of coal seems to sink in a great downward wave beneath nearly all of Clay District. It is said this 11- foot vein is only 60 feet down at the mouth of Doll's run and 160 feet at Blacksville. There is a 4-foot vein in Clay on the farm of William Price's heirs, at Brown's mill, and at Benjamin Core's on Doll's run. The iron ore and limestone, whatever there may be, have never been developed.

CLAY DISTRICT.
The wild animals which the Indian left to the rifle of the white man-the bear, panther, buffalo, deer and wolf-dis- appeared over half a century ago. Grazing herds and pas- turing flocks have taken their place.
INDIAN OCCUPATION.
The high hills and deep valleys of Clay were favorite hunting-grounds for the red warrior of the forest. The stone-pile grave, and the arrow-points and spear-heads so abundantly found years ago, attest their once presence here in large numbers.

INDIAN INVASIONS AND MURDERS.
In July, 1777, Nathan Worley was'killed (p. 59). About 1778, a large party of Indians ambuscaded the whites near Statler's Fort, and killed eighteen (p. 61). In August, 1780, the whites were again ambushed at the mouth of Doll's run (p. 65-6). Tradition says Joseph Statler and one Myers were killed on Jake's run (p. 67).
SETTLERS' FORTS. 1
Baldwin's Block-house was the last westward fort of the white man in Monongalia. It stood on the site of Blacks- ville, near where the Methodist Episcopal church stands.
742
HISTORY OF MONONGALIA COUNTY.
Statler's Fort .- This fort has been located at different points along Dunkark creek. It was on lands now owned by Isaac Shriver. The writer, on visiting the place, found the fort to have stood on the bottom below the graveyard, on a slight elevation above the Dunkard creek bottom. Mrs. Shriver was positive that this was the location, she having heard Mrs. Brown (who was a Statler) tell of being in the fort when twelve years old, and said that this was the spot where it stood. It was but a short distance below Brown's mills.
GROWTH OF THE DISTRICT.
Some distance away from the county-seat, it could not make those rapid strides of progress that more favorable lo- calities have made. Its distance west in an early day made it, with Battelle, the frontier for a time, and until the tide of immigration came up with it, and then passed it, going into Ohio. Grain and stock-raising have been the occupa- tion of its inhabitants, and these interests are yearly in- creasing in importance. With such soil, and a spirit of en- terprise, the people of the district have great opportunities before them for the future. Their wealth, frugality, econ- omy and generosity are now almost proverbial. A railroad would develop the district wonderfully. It is to be hoped this impetus to her progress will soon be added.

Emerson and Gregg were the first merchants, and kept in the first house on the site of A. I. Strosnider's house. They were followed by John Hood & Launtz, Brown & Worley, Mathias Lyons, John D. Hawkins, Lyons & Ingraham, James Goldwin, William Launtz and R. S. Launtz. On April 10, 1855, a fire started in daytime in William Launtz's house and burnt twenty-four houses. Three coal-boats were built here for the coal-trade. Emer-

son, Gregg and Strosnider started a potash factory, some years ago: The first postmaster was Dr. Anthony Coonrod, who carried the few letters that came, in the top of his high-crowned hat. His successors have been E. B. Tygart (1846), Thomas Brock, Robert Fletcher, N. P. Kygley, A. B. Pratt, William Launtz, J. M. Headley and A. I. Stro- snider (September 15, 1882). The physicians have been Dr. Hugh McNemara (a Yankee),-Vanderbrook, Anthony Coonrod, - Bullard, William Faulkner, - Demick, Thomas E. Hall, and J. M. Lazelle. The present physi- cians are Thompson Strosnider, George M. Fletcher and Dr. Calvert. Moses Strosnider came from Greene County, in 1841, and kept where Ingraham is; in 1844, he built the present Strosnider House. A. I. Stosnider, boot and shoe shop, since 1865; G. A. Burke, wagon-making, since 1854, and run by steam since 1879. Michael Strosnider and John Fordyce laid out the town, a small part of which is in Pennsylvania. Huston Stewart has had a marble shop here for 35 years. Jesse Worley opened the first hotel; succeeded by Mrs. Fletcher, A. B. Brookholder and others. The present hotel is the Strosnider House.
NEW BROWNSVILLE.
This town was laid out by Emanuel Brown, in 1847 or 48. Squire Andrew Brown built the first house where Titus Lemley lives. Alexander Clegg first owned the land, which passed to Abraham and Andrew Brown. Alexander Weg- ley, it is said, had the first store where Lemley lives. Cyre- nus Cox built the present store-house and put a store in it. Sedwick succeeded him, then Carpenter, who was fol- lowed by Emrod Tennant* the present merchant. The post-

masters have been Cyrenus Cox, A. W. Tennant, N. B. Johnson. The post-office was discontinued two years ; then established again with Jolın Ruse postmaster. He was followed by Titus Lemley. In 1855, a tannery was built here by Andrew Brown ; in 1857, it was run by S. G. Sni- der, and was soon after torn down. Just above the store is an old building or two, where, years ago, a town was attempted to be started by the name of Statlertown. Just beyond the town is A. W. Tennant's store, opposite Olive M. E. Church. The residents of the town are: Emrod Tennant, Titus Lemley, William Davis and son (black- smiths), Mrs. Piles, N. B. Johnson, P. M. Johnson, George W. Johnson and J. G. Downey.
BROWN'S MILLS.
A man by the name of Meyers had a horse-mill at this point, which Adam Brown bought in 1801, and he built a water-mill and saw-mill. In 1840, his son Andrew refitted the mill, and, some years after, attached steam to it. The mill was now a very extensive one, embracing, besides the grist-mill, a large saw-mill and a carding machine. In 1864, the entire works, with a large quantity of grain, were de- stroyed by fire, which, it has always been believed, was the act of incendiaries who were prompted by political motives, and who had, in common with many persons, a strong dis- like of Mr. Brown because of his intense loyalty to the Union. There were many persons in the neighborhood, especially across the line in Greene County, Penn., who were warm sympathizers of the South. The loss by the fire was large, aggregating more than twenty-five thousand dollars. The mills were soon after rebuilt by Andrew and his son Alpheus. The building is 34x73 feet, and the machinery is driven by a 40-horse-power engine.
747
CLAY DISTRICT.
Several houses were built after Andrew Brown came into possession, and the place can now be properly called a town. The name of the post-office is Andy .. It was estab- lished in May, 1862, and was so named by the Hon. Wm. G. Brown, who wished it to be known as Brown's Mills, but, there being an office by that name in the State, he called it Andy, for Andrew Brown. R. M. Hill succeeded Brown as. postmaster in 1864, and he was succeeded by Dr. A. W. Brown, the present postmaster. A store was opened in 1857, by Dr. A. W. Brown, who was succeeded, in 1876, by D. T. Miller, whose successor, in 1878, was S. J. Acklin.
MOORESVILLE.
This town is on the New Brownsville and Cassville road, . 12 miles north-west of the county-seat. About 1840 or 43, Rawley Moore,* who owned the land, had 'Squire William Price lay out a town along Jake's (Statler's) run. He sold lots to William Price, Jacob Moore, R. B. Tennant, John Piles, William Sines and others. John Piles, it is said, built the first house. A tavern or two were opened, and it became a place notorious for liquor-drinking. R. B. Ten- nant, whose land adjoined the town, becoming tired of the continual carousing and drinking, bought up the town, lot by lot. He tore the houses all down but one, which he moved back from the creek to the present site of the town. This house is now Campbell's store. William Sines had a · store in the present Sines House in 1852, succeeded by Simeon Furman, J. F. Headly, Marion Tennant, Isaac N. Litman, William Sines and William Piles. The present stores are those of Tennant and Price and A. A. Campbell. The Sines House is kept by William N. Sines (whose father,
* Rawley Moore was the son of Philip Moore, who lived where Col. George Price's family now lives. Rawley married Elizabeth J., daughter of Richard B. Tennant. He went to Buckhannon, and then to Kansas.

Moses Sines, came from Maryland). The residents of the town are: J. B. Furman (saddler), A. A. Campbell, C. S. Tennant, Mrs. Rogers, William N. Sines, Luther Sines, son of William N. (a cabinet-maker), J. B. Furman, S. P. Tennant (postmaster), and Christopher Wright. The first postmaster was Isaac N. Litman, succeeded by S. P. Ten- nant, the present incumbent.
M'CURDYSVILLE
Is situated in the south-western part of Clay District, 15 miles west of the county-seat, near the old State road. It is on the head-waters of Little Paw Paw, at the junction of the Mooresville with the Blacksville road. It consists of a mill, a store, a church, post-office (called "Centre"), and several dwelling houses.
PONETOWN.
At Jake's Run post-office on Day's run, are several houses and a church. There is a mill just below it. From some cause this small place has been given the nick-name of Ponetown, and so far has retained it.
MILLS.
Meyers's horse-mill at Brown's Mills was, probably, the first mill in the district. On Dunkard are Core's mill, then Brown's Mills, and the Strosnider mill, all steam-mills. : Asa Wilson had a corn mill at Ponetown, which was succeeded by Cannon & Shriver's flouring-mill, one mile below that place.
ROADS.
The old State road passed through the Southern part of Clay, near McCurdysville. The Dunkard creek turnpike, commonly called the Morgantown and Burton pike, passes along Dunkard creek, in the northern part. The Morgan- town and Fairmont pike passes through the western part

of the district ; and beside these, various roads run from town to town throughout the district.
MAIL SERVICE.
Pedlar's Run, Mooresville, Andy, Pentress (at New Brownsville) and Blacksville post-offices are on the Morgan- town and Burton mail-route, having a bi-weekly mail car- ried on horseback. Centre post-office is at McCurdysville ; Statler's Run post-office is on Jake's run, and Jake's Run
post-office is on Day's run at Ponetown.
It is said the
man (Richard Tennant) who first kept Jake's Run post-office lived on Jake's run, that his successor, Solomon Wagoner, lived on Day's run, and moved the office there. His suc- cessors have been Robert Berry, A. Lemley, C. Shriver and David Wilson. After a time the people on Jake's run (which was named for Jacob Statler) wanted an office again, and got one established by the name of Statler's Run post- office, with Joseph Tennant postmaster (about 12 years ago). He was succeeded by the present postmaster, Nimrod Ten- nant, son of Asa Tennant.
RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS.
The Methodist Episcopal denomination has two churches -Point Pleasant and Mt. Hermon-in the south-eastern part of the district, which are described, as to circuit and ministers, in the history of that denomination in Grant District. There are no more M. E. churches until you reach the north-eastern part of the district, where are Olive, at New Brownsville, and the Blacksville Church. We have of the churches the following from persons' recollec- tions :
At Blacksville the old M. E. Church was near the present frame M. E. Church, built in 1851 or 52. The following ministers served at Blacksville after 1852 : Paul Vandervort,

R. Laughlin, L. D. Casto ; assistants, W. W. Kelley, and the next year John Woodruff. After this the circuit was divided, and Laban Tollman served two years, succeeded by Charles C. Conway. Then the circuit was restored as before, and Jesse Snodgrass served two years; then the circuit was divided, and J. P, Varner, - Mercer (2 years), -Curtis (1 year), and W. B. Treevy in 1882.
Olive M. E. Church, a large brick house, was built about five years ago at New Brownsville, and took the place of the old frame church in that portion of New Brownsville called Statlerstown, which was built in 1851. The first class at the old church were : Robert Chaffin and wife, Abram Brown and Elizabeth his wife, Andrew Brown and wife, Peter Hinkins, and others.
The first church in the district is said to have been a free meeting-house at the mouth of Miracle run in the north- western part of the district, built by a man by the name of Cone, about 1815.
Baptist .- There is a Baptist church at McCurdysville, and one at Blacksville. Among the latter's first members were the Tiltons, Washington Stewart, Israel Stewart and Mrs. Pettit.
Christian Church .- About 50 years ago a minister of the Christian or Disciple church (often called Campbellite) preached through this section. His name was Garrison. He was coldly received at the start. On several occasions a man in the congregation called him a liar. Garrison ended these interruptions, one day, by taking the fellow up and throwing him through a window. About 40 years ago, a frame church was built on Doll's run. In 1877, it was succeeded by the present brick church, called the Core or

Doll's run church. The Pleasant Valley or Mooresville church was built in 1871; and Antioch, at Ponetown, about 1879.
OIL BORINGS.
-
A boring in the earth for oil was made at the bridge above Brown's Mills, which was put down 680 feet, and passed through the big vein of coal at 160 feet. A boring was made at the mouth of Pedlar's run, one at John S. Brown's, and one a half-mile below Mooresville.
