Read More	In 1882 the 3 daughters of William S Cunningham sell this property to Manassah Judy, later going to Ed Judy 1870-1930. It was over 1500 acres. The deed describes this land as the Homeplace of William S Cunningham. The land ran from Petersburg down Durgon. A local historian (J B)tells me that Jeff Snell had lived in one of the houses of these Cunninghams John and William S are buying land off of Abraham Shobe, believed to have been this property. In 1852 the children of John Cunningham's daughter Emily are selling there part of the property to Isaac Shobe which lived at Hiser now Twin Bridges. It is believed that from Durgon road, following the river was how the road ran into Petersburg in the 1800's instead of across the Knob. It's said that there was a store and church. There were rock graves along the bottom of the mountain, that I've been told about but were destroyed while doing some kind of work. I know of 2 Kimble rocks, another bunch of rocks in briars, a child Catherine Shultz, 9 years old with a couple other graves around her, a Wilson stone, and someone said some rocks with German writing. There is 2 mounds of dirt that some say are Indians and some say white people buried the same way. Near the barn on Durgon a man tells me that 50 years ago you could see the graves in that area, no rock markers, nothing can be seen now. This Cunningham cemetery was destroyed around 1960. The man that told me about it said he got there as the bulldozer had just went thru the cemetery. He said there were at least 25 headstones. These were old stones, different than what he had seen. Not all were Cunninghams but he couldn't remember the other names. There had been an old fence around it. William S Cunningham had lived out on Rt 42 in what is now the Groves house around 1850 and in 1860 appears to be in the house at Petersburg but by 1870 had moved to Moorefield. The property that William buys off of Hanson Bryan that was bought by Thomas Bryan has later become what is known as the Bryan Field. In the 1860 census William S has $43,000 worth of land and $47,000 worth of personal property. On 10/1867 Jacob V Cunningham has William S declared unsound of mind and an inventory is done of his real and personal property William S and Sallie Vanmeter Cunninghams children: John 1834-1903 in Maryland; Susan T 1836 (John Vanmeter)in Ohio; Jacob V. 1838-1906, Rebecca 1843-1928 (Edgar Alexander) in Texas; Annie V, 1845 (Henry Truehart)in Texas; Charles L. 1846-1860, Joseph 1850-1923, Wm S 1853-alive in 1900 in Texas.
