    PLACE NOTES: In 1772, the springs were part of the newly formed Berkeley County, named after its colonial governor, Norborne Berkeley. The waters became known as Berkeley Springs because the existing protocol was to name springs after the colonial Virginia county in which they were located. Previously, the area had been called Warm Springs and Medicinal Springs among other names.

    Bath became known permanently to the world as Berkeley Springs in 1802 when the Virginia postal system was established in the new nation, and there already was a Bath, Virginia, in Bath County.

    In 1861, many residents of Virginia were opposed to Virginia's secession from the United States, some calling the act of secession treasonous. Following the Wheeling Conventions of 1861, a referendum was held in 41 mostly northwestern Virginia counties on whether to secede from Virginia and seek admission to the United States as a new state. An overwhelming majority of voters in these counties voted in favor of the proposal. The United States admitted the State of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. Berkeley Springs remained the conventional name used for the town. Its sister city is Bath, England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Springs,_West_Virginia; accessed 12 Nov 2022

  2. 9.  Shrode, Catherine was born in 1788 in Pennsylvania, USA (daughter of Shrode, Solomon and Neff, Anna Maria Mary); died before 1835.

    Notes:

    in the 1880 census, Elizabeth Shane Brown stated Catherine was born in Penn.

    I received the following from Max Grove, who looked in his books for mentions of the Shanes and Shrodes.
    "There is quite a bit available about your family.

    First, the maiden name of Catherine is Shroad, Shrodes and other spellings, not Snode.
    She was b. circa 1789 at Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA. That is the south western part of the state. She died 1870 at Howard, Wayne County, Iowa.

    Her parents were Soloman Shrodes, Shroad etc. and Anna Mary (Unknown maiden name) who were married in Pennsylvania, USA in 1772. Anna Mary was b. 1755 in Pennsylvania, USA and died in Berkeley County, Virginia, USA, (West Virginia, USA) circa 1810. Soloman was b. circa 1750 and d. after 1811 in Berkeley County, Virginia, USA (West Virginia, USA). I have not yet found the grave sites of Soloman and Anna Mary.

    Catherine m. James Shane in Berkeley County Virginia, USA, (West Virginia, USA), circa Apr 14, 1809. The Marriage Bond suretor was James Booth and the bond is recorded in Berkeley County Marriage Bond book #3, pg. 112. The marriage date was not recorded, only the bond date. That could be due to several reasons, (1) they never got married, (2) the minister, who is not recorded, never returned the marriage certificate, or they were married outside Berkeley County.

    James William Shane b. circa 1787 (63 years old in the 1850 census) and died May 21, 1874. The 1870 Census for Wayne County, Iowa shows him living with the Amos Brown family and he is 82 years old and blind. It should also be noted that in the 1850 Census, James Shane was living with Amos & Hannah Brown and their 4 children, plus James' son Caleb, who was 21 years old. Catherine is not shown to be living in this household. In the 1850 census, James is living in District 56, Woodford, Illinois, USA. In 1830 Census Berkeley County, Virginia, USA (West Virginia, USA), James Shane and his family of 7 people lived at Middletown, now Gerrardstown, West Virginia, USA, probably near his inlaws, the Shrodes who are buried in the Gerrardstown Presbyterian Cemetery. I have yet to find a connection between Frank Shane and James W. Shane.
