/////////////////////
A special valentine our ancestor wrote 
Received an email from Bruce Ipe (Eib)....he'd found my name on a message board. He sent the most precious article about our ancestor George Kniseley chosing Anne Eib as a Valentine and the exact words we wrote to her. The actual Valentine is in the Historical Society in Clarksburg, West Virginia. The article was in Clarksburg---My Hometown Series by Dorothy Davis. In that piece there is the part about the valentine titled:
Early Valentine Linked Couple for Year  By Dorothy Davis....
George wrote to Annie....whom he later married...
"My love, it being my lot to draw your name it gave me unexpressible joy to think of making choice of you for my Valentine in consideration of which I send you this small token as a sign of my unfeigned love and gratitude toward you, meaning nothing thereby but civility and good behaviour. I intend shortly to pay you a visit, and as I have not here room to reveal unto you the sentiments of my mind, I will then make them known unto you with my tongue, and only interpreter of my heart. Until which time I remain, Your most affectionate and humble servant, George Knisely to Ann Eibe, March 28, 1793."
In each scallop at the eage of the valentine is one word which if read clockwise tells: "A ring is round and has no end so is my love to you my friend."

Researched  by Eleanor Law Johnson:
In book: OLD GRIST MILLS OF HARRISON COUNTY By Harvey W. Harmer, in Clarksburg Library, Clarksburg, W. Va 26301...P115 "George Knisley applied to the county court, January 17, 1815, for permission to erect a dam, ten feet high, across Lost Creek to operate a water saw and grist mill on his land.  The  court awared him a writ of Ad Quad Damnum, the inquest to be returned February 23rd.  No return or order was made.  Knisley built his mill, but no one knows the exact date.  He operated it for sometime before his death ,in 1835.  Knisley had several children, and there is a reference to his will in a deed made by one son, yet no will is of record, nor did he make any deed conveying his property to his children. His children took his land under the LAW law of decent and made mutual partition of the land. At any rate his son, Abraham  Knisley, sold and conveyed the sixty acres of land on which the mill was located to Samuel Sheets (note:Samuel Sheets married Georges oldest daughter, Elizabeth) by deed dated May 12, 1846.  Samuel Sheets operated the mill until his death, near the close of the Civil War.  The mill then became known as "Sheets Mill" and by that name continued to be known as long as it existed.etc. .(Note:  It passed to his children, then was conveyed to Edwin Maxwell.  The building eventually torn down about 1890's).

Note Correction to this following information below the letter:
In my  PEARSON B. HOLDEN file, letter from Mary Rickus, Librarian at Clarksburg, Harrison County, W. Va. (she is now deceased)..She wrote:  "In an old, very fragil will book I found will for GEORGE KNISLEY, dated, September  18, 1835 and was proved October 5, 1835.

Daughters: Catherine, Elizabeth, Polly,Susan, Sarah, Lucy and Julia and Nancy.
Witnesses:  Wm. A. Harrison and Moses H. Ailes.  County Clerk: G.J. Davisson.

Bill: Nov. 25, 1835. ;App. Bill recorded Oct. 3, 1836 at Circuit Superior
Court of Law and Chancery."
CORRECTION BY MARY RICKUS, LIBRARIAN HARRISON COUTNY, W.VA LETTER Dated
8 March 1977..."Dear Eleanor, it seems that GEORGE KNISLEY died intestate and what I saw before was the BILL OF APPRAISEMENT and the SALE BILL, of which I have enclosed a copy."

APPRAISAL November 1836
"I certify that the foregoing contains a true statement of the amount of sales of the personal estate of Geo. Knisley, decd., and which came into my hands to be administered..
Nancy Knisley, Admx"
NOTE: This Nancy is probably the same person as Annie ( 1st wife), Annie probably went by the name of Nancy.  She fits the age.  I have not found any 2nd marriage for him.
