A history of the Spiker/Zinn family farm from 1768 to present.

“SPIKER FARM” means the various tracts of land located in Union District acquired by Bradford Zinn and Alice Williams Spiker. The existing “SPIKER WHITE FARM HOUSE” is located on the 55± acre tract.

II. SPIKER FARM HISTORY TO 1840

  1. PRE W.VA. In 1768 the Iroquois Indian tribe signed a treaty with British governors giving the ”white man” all land east of the Ohio River as far south as the Kanawha River (This would have included what is now Ritchie County, W.Va.); however, the land wasn’t occupied by the Iroquois. Rather, it was occupied by the Shawnee, Miami and Delaware tribes who did not want to surrender their home land. They used it mostly as hunting land.

  2. After the Revolutionary War and U.S. independence the Spiker Farm became part of Virginia.

  3. VIRGINIA PATENT TO MIDDLETON TITLE. The Spiker Farm including land where the Spiker White Farm house is located was included in a 10,000+ acre patent granted by the State of Virginia to Richard Clayburn on January 6, 1786. This and the other land transfers listed below occurred before W.Va. became a State:

    1. Mr. Clayborn deeded this land to Henry Banks.

    2. Mr. Banks deeded it to James Denny.

    3. Mr. Denny deeded it to James Hechter.

    4. Mr. Hechter deeded it to William Chapman.

    5. Mr. Chapman deeded it to Gary French.

    6. Mr. French deeded it to Henry Middleton.

  4. FIRST DEED TO ZINN

    1. Henry O. Middleton by deed dated May 31, 1840, recorded in Ritchie County Deed Book 1, Page 223, deeded to JOHN W. ZINN of Lewis County, Virginia 200 acres on Middle Fork of Hughes River including the 55 acres of land located at the mouth of Bear Run where it enters Middle Fork (i.e. where Spiker White Farm House is now located). The description of this property was: BEGINNING, at a stone and pointer on the South Branch of said run a line of land claimed by Christopher Nutter and running South 70o 200 poles crossing said run in a drain to a white oak hickory; Thence, South 172 poles crossing Middle Fork to a sugar and a white oak; Thence, North 70o East 200 poles crossing a run to a sugar tree and a chestnut tree in said Nutter line; Thence, along said line North 172 poles crossing said fork to the beginning.

    2. NOTE: The “run” is Bear Run and “Middle Fork” is Middle Fork of Hughes River. Middle Fork flows into the South Fork of Hughes. Geographically Middle Fork is actually South Fork; however, old history indicates it was discovered after the South Fork. Thus, it was given the name Middle Fork.

  5. RITCHIE COUNTY

    1. Ritchie County, VA was formed in 1843 from portions of Harrison, Lewis and Wood County, Virginia. The SPIKER FARM was originally in Lewis County, Virginia.

    2. Harrisville as the county seat of Lewis County, VA. was created in 1822 from wilderness land owned by Thomas Harris. The first census following the creation of Ritchie County showed a population of 3,856. In 1910 the population had grown to 20,000, which is greater than 2015 population.

III. QUILLY “MANLEY” (Q.M.) ZINN – FIRST SPIKER FARM SETTLER
