Which governor started the farm to markets roadbuilding, back in the 1830s ? I am thinking it was Gov Kump.
Before any new roads were built from logan to Huntington & Charleston, the farmers had a dreadful time getting their farm products to any larger citys. I remember my relatives, the Bias and Vickers familys had to take their tobacco crop to Huntington in farm wagons. They had to pick a time when the stream waters were low; and take axes & saws along to clear the roadways. This was the only cash crop for many farmers.No trucks had yet been invented.

I was doing some research on my father’s side and I would love to hear any stories about the Mullins’ (Starting with my great, great, great Grandpa John Henry Mullins) his son was Lafayette Mullins, his son was Enslow Mullins his son was Darrell Lee Mullins (my dad). The Mullins’ name ended on my dad’s side when my brother Darrell Andrew Mullins passed away.

I believe Manns Nob cemetery is located on top of Fourteen Mile Mt. Not certain of this though.
You mentioned John Wiley in your text. I worked with him at one time, in the coal mines. I remember he was a fighter for what he wanted- him and a haulage motorman got into a fight in the mine, because the motorman did not want to interrupt his haulage to get supplies for John. the fight did not last long as both men lost their lights in the fracus, and couldnt see anymore. John came out the winner though as he got the motorman to comply. As you can guess, I am very old.
