Barbara, I am not researching this family, but since you mentioned that not much is
available other than the tax record info, have you checked out the 1850 Census for
Hampshire Co. on the Mineral Co. web page at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvminera/census.html? There are Brelsford's and
Brellsford's listed. When you go to the site, click on the 1850 Census and be
patient; it is a very big site and takes a minute or two to download the index
completely. Beneath the page number section is an alphabetical ind

I think, but I am not sure, that I heard my grandparents and aunts and uncles
talk about a High Knob in Hardy County near their home at Whiteoak Flats or
Flats. This is located about 4 miles from the Hampshire/Hardy line on Route
28. It is also about 7 miles from Purgitsville which is in Hampshire County.
Thre were families in the area with surname HIGH also.

Once again, I get the feeling I'm walking in at the end of a conversation.
I've got a Van Swearingen (or 2) in Prince George Co at about 1740. I've

in Iowa. Both families tie in with my Parrott/Parriott people.

Poseys) there.
Vicki Horton's "Hampshire Co. Records 1816-1923" mentions a Jonathan
Pickering and his wife Mary (Kline), in connection with a law suit among
various members of the Kline family (16 Sept. 1847).

Many of us have thought for years that Hanging Rock was just off Route 28

11, about half way between Augusta and Capon Bridge.
