NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
LOCATED NEAR KEYSERI
Mother of Abraham Lincoln
Born and Reared in Mountains

After great deal of painstaking
investigation the site of the birth
place of Nancy Hanks, mothor of
President Abraham Lincoln, has been
located in the foothills of the Allie
gany mountains, near Keyser, West
Va, near the headwaters of the Po-
tomac river and in a most beautiful
section of country. -.
An interesting story of the Hanks
family in that vicinity andu.of' the
great difficulties encountered recently
in locating the exact site Of the, home
is told in the current issue of the Ma
tional Republic by Andrew Price,
chairman of the West Virginia Nancy
Hanks Commission. Among other
things, Mr.. Price says: ~ .,.e.
"Nancy Hanks Lincoln was born on
the headwaters of the Potomac River,
either in the year 1884 or in the year
1855, the daughter of Lucy Hanks
and the granddaughter of Joseph
Hanks. The place now is in the bounds
of West Virginia.
Joseph Hanks was born in Rich
mond county, near the Potomac Rive
err, in the year 1725. He lived there
until the year 1879, when he went to
the mountains in the extreme west
ern part of the Fairfax Grant with
his wife, nee Anne Lee, and his nine
children. He established home. in
the woods on 108 acres of land and
built a substantial log house, and re-
manned there not later than 1887,
when he moved to the county of Ken
lucky and settled in the Rough River
portion where his descendants now
live and their name is legion.
"West Virginia is divided into two
parts, the Eastern Waters and the
Western Waters by the Allegany
Front, so that forty-seven counties
are west of the divide and eight coun-
ties are to the east, wholly drained
by the Potomac. The oldest county in
West Virginia is Hampshire, formed
in 1854. Originally it included land
now in Mineral, Morgan, Hardy, Grant
and Pendleton counties, all on the
Eastern Waters.
The census of 1882 shows that JOS
eph Hanks and his wife and nine chill
dren lived in Hampshire county and
is conclusive evidence that the Joseph
Hanks of Richmond, of Hampshire
and Kentucky counties was the same
man.
"The eight counties on the Potomac
are different from the rest of West
Virginia and form what might be
called Virginia Irrehenta, having been
forced into the new state of West
Virginia by force and arms during the
Civil War. The all important Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad controlled
these counties and the war measure
would not have been complete with
out including this railway in that part
of Virginia which remained loyal to
the Union.
"It is a section rich in history. It
was the summer home of George
Washington. Here was the Tory up
rising. Rumsey invented the steam
boat here, logical occurrence like the
Swiss navy; here were three Revolu-
tionary generals, Gates, Lee and Ste
phens, not to mention Morgan; John
Browns raid; Rosser, Mosby, Custer,
John H. Mcneil and Jesse Mcneil,
heroes of the Civil War; Crook and
Kelly, heterogeneous kidnapped from
the heart of the city of Cumberland
in the middle of an army Of ten
thousand men by, Jesse Mcneil and
sixty-two free companions"
