BROOKE
COUNTY
...was
created in
1797 from
parts of Ohio
County, and
named after
Robert Brooke,
Governor of
Virginia from
1794 to 1796.
Part of
the "Northern
Panhandle"
along with
Hancock, Ohio,
and Marshall
Counties, it's
county seat is
Wellsburg. When researching in the
boundries of
Brooke you
will need to
know that
Brooke County
was apart of
Ohio County
til 1797 and
Yohogania Co,
West Augusta
in 1782. The
southern most
boundary of
Yohoghania at
the time is
the current
Cross Creek of
Brooke County
WV. Be sure to
research in
the correct
county records
depending what
time your
ancestors
lived in this
panhandle.
