Tonia, an Arizona resident for 27 years.  One of my ancestors lines through  my maternal grandmother has been traced back to 1660 in West Virginia.  This ancestry trace was accomplished by the Nutterfort Historical Society of Nutterfort West Virginia. My maternal grandfather's ancestry also traces back into West Virginia history about 8 generations at least, traced as a consequence of  oil wells still in production.
