JAMES JACKSON GRAVEYARD Wood Co. WV Some Pioneer Graveyards of Wood Co. by John A. House There is an old road which has left the pike, on the rise beyond Pettyville, circled around the cove of a hollow that flows down from the second growth of timber, toward the pike. It wains the top of the "divide" about the head of the hollow, south of the graveyard. This is the old road to Kincheloe Riffle, and is on the Charles Buffington tract. In this cemetery, which is badly grown up with brush and briers, I noted: Anna Thelma, daughter of E. K. and Editha Cutlip, 1906 - 1908. Baranch Stoops, 1851 - 1917. He was a son of William Stoops, who bought the old John Hill (Lenhart) farm. James Stafford, Co. A., 15th W. Va. Inf. Mary E., daughter of James and E. Jackson, died in 1867, aged twenty-five. James M. Jackson, 1807 - 1890. He was eighty-three years old when he died. Jackson Run was named for him. He owned the back lands of the John Caplinger farm. Elizabeth R. Jackson, 1814 - 1903 (eighty-nine years). James Jackson married Elizabeth Caplinger, in 1850. Henrietta Wells, born June 26th, 1845 - died September 29th, 1928. Thomas Wells' grave was there, but the date was blank on the monument. Harry, son of B. and E. Stoops, 1877 - 1878. There are other graves, both with and without stones, but I noted no other old dates. Probably the above is the Jackson private burying ground, and on the James Jackson (Caplinger) land. James Jackson married Elizabeth, daughter of John Caplinger, and got one share of the estate. Later, he bought adjoining backlands of the Leonard Caplinger land. This graveyard was nicely cleaned up when I visited it, in May, 1935.
