Cemetery: McNeil / McNeill / McNeel cemetery in Levelton District, No. 4 / Little Levels / village of Hillsboro on Little Levels ???????

  1. Auldridge, Ginny Re: McNeil Cemetery. 26Feb2001. Personal email-->" It is south of Buckeye off rte 219 just before you get to Hillsboro. You have to turn down a tiny road and stop to ask entry from the family that resides there. It is easily seen to the west and you have to go through some cow pastures to get to it. "

COLONEL JOHN McNEEL "...At length Dunmore's war broke out, and Mr. McNeel, together with his neighbors, the Kennisons, repaired to Camp Union, enlisted and accompanied General Lewis to Point Pleasant, where they articipated in the bloody battle of October 10, 1774. During their absence a child of Mr. McNeel died, and the mother, heroine as she was, constructed a rude coffin, dug a narrow grave, and with her own hands laid the infant away to rest..."

  5. Also see reference on our Cemetery "H" section ------> Gramp, Barbara - Re: Hillsboro cemetery, 16Oct2005. From the book: Pocahontas Co. WV Hardesty's Biographical Atlas, 1882, Volume 3, Page 42. "...If the traveler who visits the beautiful little mountain town of Hillsboro, will stroll a mile and half to the north of that village he will reach a beautiful cemetery in which repose many of the pioneers of Pocahontas county. There sleep John McNeel and his wife, Charles and Edward Kennison and their wives, and several other heroes of Point Pleasant and patriots of the Revolution. No historian has incribed their names high upon the pillar of fame, but their memory lives where they would have wished it to live — in the hearts of those who dwell among the mountains, where they themselves first planted the banner of civilization."

    Gramp, Barbara - Re: Burial place of child "dashed to death by an Indian warrior in 1765", 16Oct2005. From the book: William T. Price, Historical Sketches Of Pocahontas County WV,, (Marlinton, W. Va., Price Brothers, Publishers, 1901 / Published 1990 by Heritage Books, Inc.). Page 107, Biographic. Section V. JACOB MARLIN AND STEPHEN SEWALL, "...It is moreover interesting in this connection to recall the fact that on the banks of Marlin's Run is the burial place of a little child that was dashed to death by an Indian warrior in 1765, when overtaken by a party of Bath and Rockbridge men, seeking to rescue Mrs Mayse, her son Joseph, an unmarried woman with an infant in her arms, a Mr McClenachan, and some other captives. This burial place is a few rods diagonally from the east angle of Uriah Bird's barn on the margin of the rivulet. The infant corse was buried at the foot of the tree where it had been found a few minutes after its death. The burial took place just a few hours later, before the pursuers act out on their return. The grave was dug with hunting kninves, hatchets, and naked fingers. The little body laid in its place very tenderly, and the grave partly filled with earth. The covering of the grave was completed with rather heavy stones, to prevent foxes or other animals from getting at the remains. Thus died and was buried the first white child known to history west of the Alleghany Mountains..."

Cemetery: Mountain View Cemetery

  1. Gramp, Barbara - Re: Marlinton to offer free trash pickup for spring cleanup. The Pocahontas Times, of 04/12/07...Two items in regard to Mountain View Cemetery were discussed, paving the roads in the cemetery and how cemetery plots and space in the mausoleum should be paid for. No action was taken on either item at the meeting.
    1. A quote of $20,400 was received last year for the paving but not acted on then. The need for specifications for the paving work was stressed and it was decided to seek the advice of people with a background in this area.
    2. In the discussion on the sale of plots and mausoleum space the main concern was someone who makes a down payment, needs use of the plot/space and then makes no further payments. It was noted that there are less than ten city-owned cemeteries in the state. Kellison said she would make contact with other communities that have cemeteries.
