Pendleton County (West) Virginia Probate Records: Wills, 1788-1866; Inventories, Sale Bills, Settle

Rick Toothman. Softcover, 1999, as new, Index, 318 pp. The publisher writes, This is the second collection of diverse genealogical records for Pendleton County compiled by Rick Toothman. Most appraisals contain inventories of personal property including household items, utensils, slaves and more; books in particular have been identified wherever present. The names of purchasers on bills of sale have been alphabetized and, as in Pendleton County (West) Virginia Deedbook Records, 1788-1813, any signatures originally appearing in German have been double-underlined. An attempt has been made to name every slave referenced in the documents and all transactions involving slaves are noted. Mr. Toothman has also included a brief addendum containing new genealogical material and errata concerning the essay on the European heritage of the pioneer families on Mallo and Voltz which appeared in the first Pendleton County volume.
