Dan,
I have a cd of the Morton book which made it easy for me to gather the
Carrico quotes which are in the book. Just did so today. Though the book
is dated 1914, I am not sure that copyright applies to the cd.
Therefore, I will chance sharing it by doing it personally. Be aware
that the "pg" numbers may vary from the original book. As we know, there
are some serious errors in this book; so, always check further. i e
Melinda Carrico Wotring b. 1777; and at least one Holbert marriage is
disputed by a man whose letters appear on the very early Carrico List.
Also, note that Wiley's Carrico info about Morton differs from what
Morton actually published.
I copied and pasted from the cd, so, all errors are Morton's. 8-)
see below.
Regards,
Carolyn

WAR OF 1861 -- FEDERAL SERVICE
The list here presented is based on the one prepared by S.T. Wiley
about fifteen years ago, after the close of the war. His list is a
record of enlistments rather than of the net number of soldiers. But as
error might creep in by attempting to leave out the names that really
occur twice, this step has not been taken. In 1908 the list was revised
by a committee of veterans, yet it is very probable it includes some
names of persons who never really lived in Preston and does not include
quite all who really belonged in the county.
All the names we have gathered appear in one list and in
alphabetical order. Following each name is first the company and then
then regiment to which the soldier belonged. Next follows his rank, and
finally a mention of casualty, where as such has been supplied to us.
All regiments are to be understood as infantry commands unless otherwise
specified. All the regiments names were from West Virginia except the
Third Maryland Infantry.
Abbreviations: “Maj.,” major; “Cpt.,” captain; “Lt.,” lieutenant;
“Ser.,” Sergeant; “Cor.,” corporal; “Q.M.,” quartermaster; “M.,”
musician; “Com.,” commissary; “Cav.,” cavalry; “Sur.,” surgeon; “D.,”
died in service.
The spelling and initials are usually as found in Wiley’s roster.

A LIST OF OCTOGENARIANS
The subjoined list of more than 250 residents of Preston, who passed
their eightieth birthday is not by any means complete. It includes only
those persons whose age became known to the field agent through actual
date, as found in family records or on gravestones, or as given by word
of mouth. Ages reported by tradition or heresay are not included. Many
more names would be entitled to a place in the list, but the actual ages
of such persons were not made known to the writer.
In the absence of positive dates, the traditional reports of extreme
age here and there are to be received with much caution. The statements
handed down to us are liable to be the result of exaggeration or
over-estimate. Even dates are not infalliable. A date as given on a
gravestone sometimes differs from that found in the family record. In
the instances of Daniel Martin and Leonard P. Everly, there is clearly
an error of about ten years in each instance, and such deduction has
accordingly been made.
A given name accompanied by a star indicates a pioneer settler. A
name in brackets is the married surname of a wife, unless it is starred.
In that case it is the maiden surname. A “C” following a date means
that the age is at least as great as given. A date that is starred is
of persons who were still living at the last knowledge of the writer.

From Lowther’s History of Ritchie
A daughter of Samuel Gandy married Jacob Watson. John T. and
Salathiel Goff were brothers who came from England just before the
Revolution. The former died in 1803. His first wife, married in
England, was Elizabeth Welch. The second, married in 1781, was
Monica Carrico, who died 1815. John T.’s children were William,
John, James, Alexander, Hannah, and probably others. Salathiel’s
were Joanna, Tamar (born 1782), and Luda.

CHAPTER XXI SCHOOLS AND NEWSPAPERS
In 1871, the compensation of
the county superintendent was only $213.
This office has long been wretchedly underpaid in West Virginia, but of
late there has been a considerable change for the better, so that it is
becoming possible to command suitable requirements for a position that
is very responsible. The following persons have filled the office since
the coming of the free school:
Arthur W. Carrico, 1903-11.
pg. 144 vol.III
Hardestyville is scarcely even a hamlet. The immediate valley of the
Cheat is narrow, even when bottoms occur, yet the river-bluff is not
so high as in Grant or Pleasant. Its face is fluted by shallow
ravines. The mouth of Wolf Creek has been successively the home of
the Carrico, Bolyard, Ford, and Pulliam families. A few miles
southward by the bends of the river, and just without the Tucker
line, is where James Goff settled in 1783. He usually had money to
loan, and his bank was a sack of coin hidden in the earth-floor of
his cabin. All the family ate mush from the same big dish. One of
his visitors fought shy for a while of taking supper in this
promiscuous mode, but hunger brought him to it in time, Goff
remarking, “I reckoned you’d come to your fodder at last.”
Two miles below the mouth of Wolf we come to the covered bridge by
which the turnpike enters Reno district. The structure is of wood
and strongly built. Above this point there is no continuous road
along the western shore of the Cheat and the hills crowd upon the
river. The pike follows the stream two more miles to the mouth of
the Buffalo, where there is a very small group of houses known as
Macomber. Three miles farther, around a bend of the Cheat, is the
town of Rowlesburg occupying a tongue of river bottom in a corner of
Reno. Opposite is the mouth of Salt Lick, this tributary having a
very narrow fringe of lowland, the mountainous wall of river-hill
rising sharply on either side. In the rear of the town is a
corresponding mountain wall. Below the peninsula on which the town
stands, the huge bluff presses the river so closely as to compel
costly trestling and side-cutting to enable the railroad to gain a
foothold. Such is the topographical setting of Rowlesburg.
In 1775, the year that the Massachusetts farmers fired at Lexington
and Concord “the shot heard round the world,” one Hezekiah Frazer
made a clearing on this tongue of land. He and the Wheelers and
Goffs, his successors in ownership, seem to have lived here in
isolation the next three-fourths of a century, for until the railroad
construction drew near, there was only one house. The rails were
laid this far by the close of 1851, and the town, which now began to
assume form, is therefore a creation of the steam locomotive. It was
named for Thomas Rowle, an engineer, and was incorporated in 1858.
The first store was opened in 1850 by one Offutt. In twenty more
years the place had attained a population of 258.

At a very early day, people had gone direct from the South Branch to
the bottom lands of Tucker. Some of these settlers, like the Goffs
and Carricos, crept down the Cheat into the southwest of Union.

The follwing names became represented in the Southwestern Province:
Cress, Deal, Devall, Guthrie, Hagans, Harshberger, Jefferys, Lewis,
Matlick, Michael, Myers, Shaw, Teets, and Wolfe. Other pioneer names
in the last mentioned province are these: Beavers, Bell, Bolyard,
Carrico, Danser,

Peter, Francis, and Catherine Carrico arrived in 1786 on the Pulliam
farm at the mouth of Wolf Creek. It is not known that their parents
came with them. Of four other brothers, one settled in Culpeper,
one in Charles county, Maryland, and one in Kentucky. The sons of
Francis went West. Peter had but one son, Joseph, whose six sons
lived mainly in Reno and Lyon. The Rev. William D., a superannuated
minister of the Methodist Episocopal Church, settled at Newburg.
Joseph B., has been many years a justice at Rowlesburg. Kelly is a
railway mail clerk, while Arthur W., a veteran teacher, is the only
Prestonian to serve two terms as county superintendent.

Three daughters of a Revolutionary soldier named Holbert married
into
the Carrico and Beavers families. Whether the sire ever lived in
Preston is not known to us.

Some Prestonians of 1803
From the original personal property list, by Alexander Brandon. His
district covered all of Monongalia east of Cheat, and was more
extensive than the East Side of Preston. A figure with hyphen
following a name indicates the number of tithables in the household,
where the number exceeds one.
