Frametown

Frametown was settled by James Frame, Sr. in 1798. While hunting James Frame
got separated from his partner, who eventually wound up back in Augusta 
County, Va. James Frame wandered around for several days, thinking his 
partner had been
killed by indians. He followed the river to Parkersburg, then returned to 
Virginia. He
traded a black horse and flintlock rifle for a large land tract in what is 
now Braxton
County and returned with his family and built a cabin. For many years, all 
the residents of the area were members of his family. It was originally 
called "Frame's
Mill" but later changed to Frametown.
