]]> Comment on Mapping the Wilson-Minor Transactions: Mappy Monday by wilfilip@aol.com http://dkaysdays.com/2011/02/28/mapping-the-wilson-minor-transactions-mappy-monday/#comment-1359 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:44:47 +0000 http://dkaysdays.com/?p=1582#comment-1359 Kay, here is a photo for you to post. Dad took this from just above Barnett’s run looking south–you can barely make out the dirt road. That’s our house, barn, etc. Simpson Creek would be winding through the grove of trees on the right, My father was probably standing on your uncle’s land with Robert Minor’s being our farm. The Wilson name is just a coincidence. My grandfather moved to Harrison County in the 1900s and was not a farmer. We loved our farm and heartbroken when it was chopped to pieces. Enjoy the image and please post. You may want to add that Robert & Helen Wilson bought the farm in 1962 and enjoyed it for the next ten years or so before the interstate plowed through. House was not Robert Minors, but built in abt. 1940.

Best,

Philip Wilson

Sorry to know with certainty that the highway broke it up. I would be interested in seeing that photo, if you would care to share it.

Our home was built in 1940; however, we had a “cellar house” that was much older. It was a beautiful piece of land and life was bucolic. Wonder what Robert Minor’s homestead looked like.

All I have for this parcel of land is the map, which is included in this post: http://dkaysdays.com/2011/02/28/mapping-the-wilson-minor-transactions-mappy-monday/.

The photo above captures that Robert Minor’s brother, Francis, who is the father to this brood. His youngest boy, Robert, was my great-grandfather.

I didn’t know about the family’s West Virginia holdings until transcribing the documents in a satchel my mother had kept. I wish I had a photo of the old place in Harrison County!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Kay

Any chance you have a photo of his home? Looks like it sat about where our home stood–which was built in the 1940s. Thanks for any further info.

Jacob Thomas. His father was Henrich Thomas, b.1715 in what was to become America. Ruloff(Ralph), son of Jacob and Anna M. Thomas married his first cousin, as did his father, Jacob. Anna Margaretha was born bef. 10 Aug,1740. Also, Hendrich Teeter m. Caroline bender in Dutchess co,NY colony. Now, my 5th great grandfather ,was a 1st. Lt., 4th regiment ,NY and recruited patriots during the summer months of 1775, he was in the “line”directly under Gen, Washington, who visited the Thomas tavern, uffalo, Was it was the headquarters of Putnam during the war.
