A LONG LIFE
Death of an Aged West Virginia Lady
There recently died at her home near Sistersville, Tyler county, a lady who has lived under the administration of every President since Washington. This was Mrs. Sarah McCoy. The Sistersville Democrat says of her:
She was born in Brooke county, W. Va., in 1793; she came to this place with her father's family of twenty-two children in 1806. She was the mother of eight children, six of whom are dead. She has been a widow since 1835. As a child she gathered wild flowers where the streets of the town now are. She attended school in the old house, the very site of which is gone--engulfed by the river. She saw the keel boats float down the river, then a narrow and deep stream. She has seen the flat boat superseded by the steamer, a magnificent floating palace. Again, she saw the steamer partially fall into disuse by the railroad. She has seen the log cabin with its puncheon floors replaced by elegant houses with carpeted floors and fine furniture. The linsey dress has given place to silks and satins, and the handkerchief tied over the head is replaced by the artistic hat or bonnet. She has lived under every President of the United States from George Washington to Grover Cleveland.
Sistersville, she saw planted in the wilderness when she was a child, and hunted "ground berries" among the corn, where now stand substantial houses and handsome stores.

From http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSsr=41&GScid=43936&GRid=13414231& :
Col. Ebenezer Zane, along with his brothers, in 1769, laid claim to the area that is now Wheeling, West Virginia. When the Revolutionary War started, Col. Ebenezer Zane, as founder of Wheeling, changed the name of the fort in that town to Fort Henry, in honor of Gov. Patrick Henry of Virginia. As Colonel of the Virginia Militia he participated in the defence of Fort Henry at the "First Siege", September 1, 1777, against a large force of indians and others, which was the first serious attempt of the British and their savage allies against the Western border settlements after the outbreak of the Revolution.
He was in command at Fort Henry, September 11, 1782, when a company of British regulars, under Capt. Pratt, and a large body of indians, laid siege to the fort. He was also a Delegate to the 1788 Virginia Assembly which adopted the Constitution of the United States.
