>West Virginia became a state in 1863 as a direct result of the Civil War.
>That section had always been a part of Virginia, even though the two
>sections never had much in common. One of the main reasons, no doubt was
>the Allegheny mountain range that seperated the two sections, which made
>traveling between them very difficult. When VA cast her lot with the
>Confederacy, those to the west began to complain. The complaints became so
>loud and demanding that a seperate government for the western section was
>originated in 1861 under the name Kanawha. Two years later WV was admitted
>into the Union as the 35th state with a total of 60 counties.

>Most of the counties were settled years before they were organized. Here

>Brooke 1744; Pendleton 1747; Randolph 1753; Monroe 1760; Mongongalia 1767;
>Greenbrier and Ohio 1769; Harrison, Marion, and Preston 1772; Kanawha

>Mason and Tucker 1774; Cabell and Mercer 1775; Barbour and Wetzel 1780,
>Jackson and Wirt 1796; Wood 1797; Boone 1798; Lincoln 1799; Putnam and Roan

>All the above is from the 8th edition of the Handy Book for Genealogists.
