I am originaly from McDowell County from the War area. My wife is from St. Albans, near Charleston. We've been in Texas since 1979 after I left teaching in War. We sure miss the mountains, particularly in the summer, but we have raised three kids and t ey're now Texans and can't imagine living anywhere else. I've done some geneology on my family. I don't have all the records with me but believe we are related to the Huddlestons on my paternal grandmother's side. Thank you for the information.
