This inventory is quite valuable because Cornelius Hogland (Sr.) had migrated just before 1800 from Hampshire Co, WV by way of the Ohio River. He has a lot of goods and chattels. He probably brought most of the items listed below with him. How would you like to transport all the items below from Hampshire County to Wood Co, WV? It's about 160 miles as the crow flies, and getting through the heavily wooded mountain ranges of Hampshire and Mineral Co. must have been very difficult. I've seen those mountains near Romney WV---on the west side of the Potomac. They look impenetrable. But Cornelius Jr. drove 30 head of cattle through them somehow. (Story summary below.)
Young Cornelius Hougland (Jr.)
1796 Mar 31: Young Cornelius Hougland (b 1773) md Anna Stallcup Hampshire Co., VA.
1796 fall: They (young Cornelius & Anna) "left Hampshire Co. VA in fall of
1796, came to Williamstown, Wood Co VA by way of Clarksburg with one horse and
30 head of cattle. They expected to meet (Cornelius)-John Hougland and McGuire
families. But they were not there.
Because of illness and the closing of the river, the Houglands and McGuire's
stayed in Pittsburgh until the spring of 1797. (Young) Cornelius selected a
location on a small stream, below Valley Mills, Wood Co, West VA which still
bears the name of HOUGLANDS RUN where he built a camp or cabin and managed to
winter the cattle on pea vine brouse and corn that he got from Mr. Blennerhasset
below Parkersburg and of Isaac Williams and Tomlinson's of Williamstown.
