Research and Relaxation in Pocahontas County, WV


Here we rented a cottage for the week. Sitting outside, listening to the water rushing and rippling over stones in the Greenbrier on a 50 degree night in July was heaven to this girl from Maryland, where the average July night brings only mosquitoes on its soggy 80 degree air. Don't get me wrong, I love Maryland... just not so much these sticky summer nights. Come on October.
After a cool rain, we traveled along Back Mountain Road, Pocahontas County, looking for my great-grandparents graveyard.
This winding road traverses one of the most naturally beautiful little valleys I've ever seen. Never did find the cemetery...

I am a great great granddaughter of James N. McLaughlin and Madora Sabina McLaughlin. Their son, John Andrew William McLaughlin is my great grandfather. I love seeing a blog about McLaughlins.
