Abstract
This collection consists of a quarterly journal and copies of unrecorded Monongalia County, WV wills. The journal, Keyhole, a quarterly publication of the Genealogical Society of Southwestern Pennsylvania, features two articles which discuss West Virginia residents: "Unrecorded Monongalia County, West Virginia wills," Ruth E. Renton and Raymond Martin Bell and "McCollock of Ohio County, West Virginia," Raymond Martin Bell. In "Unrecorded Monongalia County, West Virginia Wills" the authors provide information concerning unrecorded wills of persons living in Monongalia County (present day Washington County, Pennsylvania.) The four unrecorded wills are Moses Cooper of Roxburg, Morris County, New Jersey, 1777 April 1; Benjah Dunn of Monongalia County, 1778 February 19; Stephen Ulery of Ten Mile Creek, Monongalia County, 1778 March 10; and David Wright of Monongalia County, 1778 August 26. The article also lists Charles McRobbins (alias Roberts) as Larry had a will written 1775 October 6. Copies of the unrecorded wills are included with the collection. Although these copies are copies of copies they are in excellent condition. Bell's "McColloch of Ohio County, West Virginia" discusses the genealogy of the McColloch family of Ohio and Hampshire counties.
