Newspapers Extracts - Berkeley County GenWeb Berkeley County West Virginia

Early Newspaper Extracts — T

Abstracts from early newspaper articles with a connection to Berkeley County, Virginia/West Virginia and what was later referred to as the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Berkeley County was created by an act of the House of Burgesses and formed from the northern third of Frederick County, Virginia, in 1772. On January 8, 1801, Jefferson County was formed from Berkeley County's eastern section, and on February 9, 1820, Morgan County was formed from Berkeley's western section.

Note: This information was extracted from the newspapers and is only as good as the editors/reporters who wrote the information (i.e., errors in spelling, dates, locations, etc.). Often, it is not the entire article and isn?t always verbatim; all exact wording is within quotation marks. However, all names are exactly as they appeared in the newspapers, even though they may be misspelled. There may be additional information in the newspapers mentioned (although all effort has been made to include all names, dates and locations of those with a connection to the area); it is being offered here to provide a starting point for your research. Please note first names were not always given and exact locations were not always available; for example if there is a city listed here, such as Great Falls, but no state included, then it wasn?t in the newspaper article and couldn?t be determined because there may be more than one city in the U.S. with that name. For cities that are recognizable and in which there is only one, i.e., Baltimore (Maryland), Richmond (Virginia) and the like, the state wasn?t always included ? some of the more recognizable cities and their states are listed at the end for reference. All references to Berkeley County are to West Virginia, not South Carolina (where a Berkeley County also exists) and all references to Martinsburg are for Berkeley County, not any other Martinsburg in the country. For more information on the newspapers, see the newspaper section at the end - note: not all newspapers have additional information; therefore, research is being done to see if these newspapers are available. It is likely they are all available on microfilm at the Library of Congress and many of them through the Family History Center?s microfilm library.

If there is no date given in the description of the events, one cannot automatically assume the event occurred the same date as that of the newspaper entry. Often, the newspaper article will say last Tuesday, today, yesterday or other words that can indicate the date, based on the date of the newspaper entry. Other times, it will just have to be presumed the event occurred within a short time of the newspaper entry. All dates given after the abbreviations for the newspaper are the dates of appearance in the paper, not the event date. If there is a question mark in parentheses following a name or location, it means the copy was so poor it was difficult to read; the best interpretation of the characters is included. Please also note some of the information in the transcriptions may be ?distasteful? to some readers (explanation of injuries suffered in an accident) and can occasionally be ?politically incorrect,? but since it is history, it is being presented here in that light.

There is a website where you can determine the actual date for ?last Sunday? or the day of the week it was for a certain date — check out this page. Enter the number of the month, the date and the year and click on Update — for example, enter 7 4 1906 and the date converter will tell you it was a Wednesday. Therefore, if someone married last Sunday, you can presume the actual marriage date was July 1. If it said "a week ago Sunday," the marriage date would have been June 24.

The data on these pages may not be used for any commercial interest and is included for your own genealogical use only. See section below on abbreviations for newspaper names and explanations of other acronyms used.

Click on the first letter of your ancestor's surname to be taken to a page where you can browse those extracts on individuals whose last names begin with that letter of the alphabet.

Please note these pages are under major construction and even those linked here are incomplete. New links and new data will be added frequently. If the first letter of a surname (or the actual surname) you are looking for does not have an active link (but appears that it should, e.g. "— see SIMPSON"), it will as soon as new data and pages are added. Thanks for your patience.
