----------
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.
1810 - 1820
ELLISON, James - He first settled on Marsh Fork, at the mouth of Hazy Creek, where Edwight is located. About 1812 he moved just below the Marshes near the old Trump Mill Ford. He lived there until about 1819 and then returned to his old home in Monroe County, but came back in 1829 to Sand Lick at the Shumate farm. He was a Baptist preacher and died in Roanoke County in 1834 on his return from a Baptist General Association at Richmond. He had five sons who were Baptist ministers.
