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.

• STEIGHT, George E. of Sleepy Creek mountain is being hunted in connection with the killing of U.L. CRAWFORD, a member of the West Virginia State constabulary. Transcriber's note — In this newspaper article, the name was STEIGHT; in an article in the same newspaper the next day after STEIGHT was found, his name was spelled SPEIGHT. This excerpt will be written with the spellings as they appear in the two articles.
       Clashes which have occurred in Morgan and Berkeley counties for a week culminated June 21 in the killing of CRAWFORD. The trooper's body, riddled with bullets, was found at daylight on Sleepy Creek mountain by J.F. HESSE, Berkeley County commissioner, who with 100 men was hunting for Crawford. George F. STEIGHT's coat, covered with blood, was found near CRAWFORD's body. Following the discovery, a search began for STEIGHT because CRAWFORD had gone to STEIGHT's home the day before with three officers to serve a warrant on the mountaineer, charging him with threatening the life of George KEESECAUER, an auctioneer who had the day before gone to STEIGHT's home to sell the place for taxes and had been driven off the place by STEIGHT with a shotgun. Soon after KEESECAUER left, STEIGHT disappeared into the woods. The three officers who accompanied CRAWFORD to the SLEIGHT home say CRAWFORD, tired of waiting for the mountaineer to return, started out on a path through the woods saying "he proposed hunting his man up." Several shots were heard by CRAWFORD's fellow offices at 8 p.m. on June 20. The body was later found about 300 yards from the STEIGHT home. The dead trooper was from Roanoke, Virginia.
       It was at first thought the crime had some connection with the shooting by moonshiners on Monday of Special Officer C.M. WILSON of West Virginia, when a raid was being made on alleged moonshiners. WILSON was so badly wounded that it was necessary to amputate both legs, which was done in a Martinsburg hospital. Because of the possible connection first thought between the two shootings, farmers all over the Sleepy Creek mountain neighborhood armed themselves with shotguns and rifles and joined in the hunt for the killer of Crawford, "declaring that the moonshiners must be taught respect for the law." WILSON was shot at the home of John and "Happy" WEIGLE on Sleepy Creek mountain. When he and other officers went to the place to serve a warrant for assault on one of the brothers, there was no one home. The officers waited for a time in the clearing which surrounds the cabin when suddenly there were shots from the woods and WILSON fell. The other officers threw themselves face down on the ground and "so they say, saw Claud FILES on the edge of the woods." Files was handcuffed and taken to Martinsburg. He said he had nothing to do with the shooting of WILSON and was released on bail on a charge of assault — WP 22 Jun 1924. G.E. SPEIGHT, a farmer wanted in connection with the killing of U.C. CRAWFORD, was shot to death by a posse on June 22 in a battle lasting more than six hours. SPEIGHT had barricaded himself in a barn and was found fatally wounded with seven bullet wounds in his body. He died a few minutes later — WP 23 Jun 1924.
