Most of the latter were indentured--serving out a period of time as servants or laborers' in exchange 'for their passage to America or as punishment for WS-Tte'ftslnbotv," fat-tetitee slaver, Boston teHocr. i committed in England. For Scottish rebels against the Crown were transported and sold in Boston in 1652. There was no official discrimination, no bars to landowning or voting Negroes owned other Negroes.

UNION, the county seat o( ionroe County, was establish- in 1SOO and was occasionally eferred lo as UNION TOWN, he West Pirginia Blue Book ates that the name was given because.

in frontier ayshe site of the town was a cndezvous for troops during the Indian Wars." PRINCETON, Hie county seat of Mercer County, was i named Bjincsville for Commissioner Bane. Later the name GLidesville was proposed because of nearby Glady Creek Tlie name PRINCETON is from Princeton, N. where Genera! Hugh Mercor (Revolutionary War) was fatally wounded. THERE IS some disagreement as to the person for whom the town ot HINTON, the county of Summers County, was named. The West Virginia Blue Book, 1936, slates: Named John (Jack) Hinton, prominent lawyer of Summers aud husband of Avis Gwinn Hinton, pioneer who owned Ihc land upon which the cily is now located.

J.mics II. Miller in "History of Summers County" says the city of HINTON was named 'or Evan Hinton, tile father of Summers County.

The Delaware name was "Mo-inom-ga-sen-eka- ce-pe" which if translated as 'Big Stone Creek." However, i seems a the name comes from the blue limestone over which tile water flows. THE NAME Gnuley River in Fayelte County is ot French origin because of tho land being known as New France. It seemed natural to call Ihis beautiful river for the ancient name of France, GAULE. Gauley Mountain and Gauley Bridge seem to stem from the same source. NEW RIVER rises in North Carolina and flows northward through the mountains.

It joins with Gauley River to form the Kanawha. It was first called Wood's River when discovered in 1G71 by Colonel Abraham Wood. Gist's Journal stales: Conhnway or New River (by some called Wood's River). In an acl of the Virginia Assembly in 1M2 it is referred to as "a new river." GREENBRIER RIVER was named because of the abundance of Green Briar along ils banks. Tlie French explorers called it Roncovcrte River.

The old French name is still preserved in the name of the town of Ronceverte located on the River in Grecnbrier County. RENTERS in "The Midland Trail" says that the name a village in Fayctlo was natural one from he location of nearby Spy Rock.
