The following list was compiled by Judge Winton A. White and presented to the Beckley Post-Herald newspaper in 1950. The list was published in the 1850 Centennial Edition of the Beckley Post-Herald on 26 Aug. 1950. It is now available in either the "Smith-Riffe" microfilm collection at the Raleigh County Public Library in Beckley, or from the Beckley Register-Herald Archives also located in Beckley, WV.

Judge Riffe was an excellent historian, however, there are known errors in this work, so please check all information against primary sources.

Big Sandy River Region

Raleigh County--Raleigh was formed from territory formerly belonging to Fayette county, by act of assembly, January 23, 1850, and derives its name in commemoration of Sir Walter Raleigh. The act made Beckleyville the county seat; it was incorporated in 1850. The first court convened in the village school house in March, 1850. The county contains 680 square miles. Its seat of justice is now known as Beckley. The county's population in 1910 was 25,683. Among the band of pioneers who settled in what is now Raleigh county are now recalled these: Vincent Philips, Samuel Pack, Samuel Richmond, Henry Hill, Joseph Carper, Sparriel Bailey, Booker Bailey, Joshua Roles, Daniel Shumate, Sr., Cyrus Snuffer, Owen Snuffer, James Bryson, John T. Starrett, Wilson Abbott, Lemuel Jarrell, Jacob Harper, John Stover and Fielding Fipps.
