April 2008, Overlooking a farm on Saul's Run. The farm is located on or near land first settled by Cornelius Westfall and his son John H. Westfall and purchased by Cornelius in April 1830.

The farm house on the left is probably sitting on the land that once belonged to Cornelius and John H. Westfall. They lived here in the 1830's and 1840's. During that time this was part of Lewis County. Today it is Upshur County formed from part of Lewis county.

Saul's Run near Lorentz, Upshur County, West Virginia. This view is looking north towards Lorentz (over the hill in the background). Our ancestors Cornelius Westfall and son John H. Westfall were among the early settlers on Saul's Run. In 1830 Peter and wife Nancy (Westfall) Cutright deeded 159 acres here on "a drain of Fink's Run," to Cornelius and John. (April 22, 2008).

Saul's Run Road (County Road 5/1) looking south. The small stream flows south a little less than a mile from Fink Run. The Westfall's land stretched across the glade to a ridge of hills on both sides.

Jackson's Mill near Weston, Lewis County, West Virginia; Tonya and park guide. The mill was constructed by
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's grandfather Edward Jackson in the early 1800's. Stonewall Jackson spent much of
his boyhood here. The site includes a museum containing a uniform and other artifacts that belonged to the
Confederate General. My grandmother Osa (Westfall) Corbett believed we are somehow related to Jackson, but we are not.
