JOHN MCCONIHAY.

John McConihay was one of the earliest settlers of the county.  He purchased 
a large boundary of land on the Kanawha river, from ten to fifteen miles 
above Charleston, which was valuable for its mineral contents, as well as for 
farming purpose.  He was a good business man, and by industry and frugality 
managed to accumulate a handsome estate. He is now eighty-four years of age, 
and is remarkably active for a man of his years.  He resides upon his farm at 
Lewiston, fifteen miles above Charleston, and attends to his husiness as 
regularly and constantly as if he were in the prime of life.
