We have seen the following item in several of our exchanges: "The McCoy Bros. of Sistersville, have shipped this season 310 hogsheads of tobacco." And nine-tenths of that same tobacco (and everything else that is shipped there) was taken from or through Middlebourne to Sistersville to be shipped; and yet a great many insist on a railroad along the river for benefit of Tyler county.--Tyler County Star. Wheeling Register, December 22, 1879 Mrs. Sarah McCoy A PLEASANT re-union occurred at Sistersville, Tyler county, on last Tuesday. Mrs. Sarah McCoy, an aged lady of that place, having attained her eighty-third year, celebrated that event by an entertainment to her children and grandchildren. Mrs. McCoy is the daughter of one of the oldest settlers of Brooke county, whose name was Wells. This patriarch married the second time. His first wife bore him ten, and his second eleven children. The twentieth offspring of these fruitful unities was christened "Twenty" and the twenty-first and last child, a girl, received the euphoneous, and perhasp appropriate name of "Plenty." Nearly three-fourths of a century ago a number of the Wells family bought lands in Tyler county along the river, and the village of Sistersville received its name in honor of three of the Wells sisters, one of whom is Mrs. Sarah McCoy, The only other suvivor of this score and more of children is Nicholas Wells, Esq., of Long Reach, who has arrived at the ripe old age of four score and ten years.
