Pioneer Index, Pendleton County, West Virginia
A complete
record of the pioneers of a county should cover these facts :
the name of each pioneer, the full maiden name of his wife, the
national origin of both man and wife, and the country, state,
county, or town that the couple moved from; the full names of
their descendants, generation by generation, and the names of
the persons they married; dates of birth, marriage and death;
facts as to residence, occupation, civil and military services,
and other matters of interest.
But where a county has been settled
more than a century and a half, where no systematic genealogical
records have been kept and preserved, and where no newspaper has
existed for more than a small fraction of the time, no such
degree of completeness can be reached, even with an unlimited
amount of time at the disposal of the local historian.
