HISTORY OF
MONONGALIA COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA

 

CHAPTER III - Homesteads in Monongalia County 57
     The official documents giving an account of the homesteads in Monongalia county are among the most important of all the early papers relating to the region, because they are the most complete regarding the dates or the settlements and of the people who founded early homes.  They have the authority of court accounts and were designed to make and keep records of establishment of homes on the numerous watercourses all over the old limits of Monongalia.  In these documents we have the highest extant authority of times, persons, and of localities, relating to the first homes founded in the region.  The year, and in some cases the month and day, of some of the important founding of homes are given, and we are justified in giving full credence to the information contained in the papers, for the commissioners who sat to adjust and determine the matters had before them the best witnesses to be secured, touching the dates and places where the homes were founded.  Men who had personal knowledge of the affairs were the witnesses who gave testimony of the things under consideration, and when they spoke in presence of other men who knew about the transactions, we may be sure that the facts were arrived at as nearly as it was possible.  Usually the men who founded the settlements, and their neighbors also, were the witnesses examined by the commissioners in preparing the records; and the short and concise statements concerning the establishing of homes on a certain creek or in some other locality, nearly always defined the places in relation to some natural feature of the land.  This makes the record of the greatest worth as evidence of what was done and when.  The spelling of the old records is often bad and the grammar is faulty, but the facts are there, and they may be relied upon as worthy of belief, as coming form witnesses who had personal and definite knowledge of what took place.
     This chapter on the homesteads of Monongalia county may be accepted as the highest authority on that interesting subject that is now in our reach.  It should be given preference over nearly all traditions and over recollections of old people, many of whom, no doubt, told the best they could remember of hte matters under investigation, but it is a recognized fact that the memories of most old persons is unsafe, for old people as well as persons who are younger, are apt to forget in course of time.  But a document, written at the time, is much more reliable.  Forgetfulness has much less opportunity to effect a written paper than to impair the memory of a person, especially when years have passed away since the occurrence of the things spoken of.  Writing remains as it is written, but the memory changes or is impaired.
     The superiority of documents over memories is shown in this record of homesteads by alluding to the first settlement of the site of Morgantown.  The old histories were wrong several years.  They depended upon tradition for their date of the settlement on the place where the town was afterwards built.  Consultation of the homestead record reveals the somewhat important fact that the old histories were wrong eight years.  They had the settlement that much too early.  A historian of another state years ago argued from other well known facts that the settlement of Deckers' creek at Morgantown could not have been as early as some of the old historians had placed it, and it is seen by consulting the homestead records that the date was eight years off.
     The record of the homesteads in Monongalia county has not been made much use of in correcting dates or in ascertaining who the homesteaders were.  When Samuel T. Wiley wrote his history of Monongalia in the year 1885, he evidently had the record in his hands, for he made a few brief quotations from its pages, but he missed his opportunity when he failed to comprehend the importance of the old document and laid it aside with less than half a page of quotations from its pages.  Thus he missed the opportunity to make use of hte highest and most complete authority to be had of the times of  the numerous settlements in the county, and of the men who made them.
     The records for Monongalia county, from 1766 to 1782, both inclusive, show that 1117 homesteads were issued to settlers in  that time.  The issuing of homesteads ceased about 1782 with the achieving of the independence of the United States.  The homesteads were issued by the state of Virginia and not by the United States as in later times.  The land in Monongalia county, subject to homesteading belonged to the state of Virginia and not to the United States, as do the wild lands in the west now, adn thereforethe title had to come from the state, and provision was made by which title could be secured.  It was usually secured by making a settlement, which was about the same thing then as now, except that the time required for the settler to live on the land, to perfect his title, was indefinite.  If he cold prove that he had raised a crop of corn on the land in a certain year it was considered that he had lived there then and it established his claim that he had resided on the land the requisite time to give him the right to the title.  That was the usual proof offered by the claimant and it was generally sufficient.  It was sometimes called a "cornright" and old settlers frequently spoke of it as such and it was well understood by all persons familiar with the customs of the country.  It was not specified in the proceedings of the land court what the size of the cornfield had to be, in order to make good the applicant's claim to the land.  So far as the records in hundreds of cases showed, the lot of a quarter of an acre was as good in law as the field of ten acres.  A few hills, planted and grown, was called a crop, as well as the more pretentious field, and if questions were asked as to the extent of the corn crop, the record book that kept account of hte transcaction made no record of it, and the reader is justified in concluding that no such quetions were customarily asked of or concerning the applicant for the tract of forest land.  The sentiment of the western country was that the settler was wanted in the country, and, since there was plenty of land, no unnecessary obstacles were placed in his way in obtaining the farmhe was applying for.
     Raising a crop of corn was not the only way of perfecting title to a piece ofl land in the process of proving out on a homestead.  It could be done by making an "improvement."  That was an indefinite term and capable of several different interpretations.  Sometimes it was called simply a "tomahawk right."  The hunter nearly always carried a very small ax in in his belt, and it was a small matter to use the tomahawk in hacking notches in three and bushes, if he wanted to do so as evidence that he had stopped there and laid claim to some part of the land.  He generally cut his name on some of the trees, but that was not deemed necessary and it might or might not be done in leaving a perfectly good record that he had been there and had in mind that he wished to return and claim the land on which hte marked trees grew.  Some of the homesteaders in the old days of Monongalia county left their records in chippings of hte tomahawk instead of the cornright, and it doers not appear that one method was given any preference over the other in establishing rights to the land.  Each was good in itself, and it seemed to be allowable to use both together.  It was a loose way of making records, but under the conditions obtaining on the frontiers of that time it was probably as good a way as could have been used in the woods and in the out of the way places, and the purposes were served well.  A large number of the most valuable farms of the country have their titles founded in such crude beginnings as the corn right or tomahawk right.
     Inasmuch as the homestead was not the most common means of securing title to land in the east, it is proper to inquire why it was done in this part of West Virginia, which was then Virginia, and was not done generally elsewhere with state lands which were apportioned to settlers in filling up the country.
     The homestead law as applied in what is now West Virginia was different in some respects from the land laws of most other parts of the United States.  It grew out of careful respect for the rights of the Indians to that part of the land in Virginia west of the Alleghany mountains and between those mountains and the Ohio river.  After the close of Pontiac's war in 1763 the Indians set up claim to that part of West Virginia, basing the claim in part on the conquest of the region by the Indians of the state of New York from other Indians who claimed to have long before held it.  The New York Indians claimed that they secured the land by conquest about 1670 and that it had been theirs ever since that time.
     Whether their claim was good or not, they made
