"From the New England States pushing westward through forests and across the Appalachians, by ox team, down river on log rafts or whatever means available, They paused along the western border of what is now West Virginia - with ax and resolution, they hewed the forest down and with the timber, built cabins and barns--in the clearings, they planted their seeds-- with the gun they protected their interests and supplied food for their families. THEY TOOK ROOTS --AND THEY SURVIVED!

The past rises before us as a dream -- to these Ancestors, of whom we are so proud, these pages are respectively dedicated."

(excerpts from writings of Carl E. Hill, passed on to me by a "cousin" Brian Harrington)
