Morton's
Monroe County
comprises both a sourcebook of genealogical data and a group-family record , with slightly
greater detail marshaled in the sourcebook section. A significant portion of the work, nevertheless, is devoted to the
general history of the county, explaining, in the customary manner, when, how, and why the county was settled and
tracing the various phases of its development.
The group-family portion of the book, occupying a full third of the text, carries the lines of descent far enough down
to enable the present generation to recognize relationships. An abundance of available data, coupled with the desire
to set forth the family histories of as many county residents as possible, compelled the author to employ a compact
form of narrative.
This "skeletal" history, embracing all vital and ascertainable facts, has the virtue of precluding biographical
embellishments, and at once puts before the researcher all that he needs to know of several hundred families and
many thousands of related individuals. All families discussed in this section are indexed alphabetically for easy
reference. The remainder of the book is comprised of genealogical source materials
.
As chapter headings give a fair indication of the contents, we might list here some of the most important: Records
of Greenbrier County; Surveys and Patents; Early Land Conveyances; Chronological Abstracts from the County
Records; Monroe County Baptists; Presbyterians; Methodists; Military Officers; Soldiers in Dunmore's War, the
Revolution, War of 1812, and the Civil War; County Officials; Monroe County Voter's List; and the Censuses (i.e. tax lists)
of 1782 and 1789.
The
county
discussed in this volume is one of the sixteen named in honor of the fifth president of the United States.
The others lie in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. The
Monroe
of West Virginia lies so far south in its own state
that it lacks only 10 miles of reaching as far in that direction as McDowell, which is the southernmost
county.
The bordering counties are Greenbrier, Summers, Mercer, Alleghany, Craig, and Giles. The first three lie in West
Virginia and the last three in Virginia.
The county does not contain a four lane highway or a stoplight.

These springs are situated in Monroe County, 42 miles from White Sulphur, 39 miles from the Sweet Springs, 17 miles from Salt Sulphur, and
38 miles from the Depot, on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, known as Newbern, but recently named
Dublin.
Passengers arriving here from North, South, East or "West, are met by a line of coaches that will convey them, over a fine road, and most
picturesque country, to the Springs, all the way by daylight — an important advantage to invalids. The proprietors assure me they will make
ample provision to convey travelers without delay, or imposition, and that arrangements shall be made for through tickets from and to all the
cities of the Union.
The present proprietors are Thomas S. Campbell, Isaac H. Campbell and Addison Dunlap, under the firm and name of Thomas S. Campbell & Co."
