Hi all,
I am working on a family named McJilton from Marshall Co., WVa, and with help from De on the Marshall Co Baord, found some articles in the Wheeling Resister pertaining to the family.
One little article came up that is a person I have never heard of, but am very much interested in:
"Captain F. McJilton was able to resume his duties on the Owens yesterday." ~The Wheeling Register, 31 Mar 1887
Can anybody take a guess as to what thisOwens refers to? The Glass Company? I feel certain somebody in Ohio Co interested in Wheeling history will know this off the top of his or her head, because I am having no luck with Ships named Owens docked near Wheeling, West Virginia, and having no luck with Captains named F. McJilton in the Civil War.
