Five Regions of Appalachia

If you see things that need done, you can add them to the Task list, below. If you have ideas for things that the Team could be doing, let me know! ~ Sandy

The links in the table above are for the "landing level" categories (where people profiles should be categorized; project pages are categorized under Category: Appalachia Project).

Thirteen states have counties in Appalachia. The Central Appalachia Team covers counties in four of them: Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, & West Virginia (the yellow area in the above map).

Kentucky: Kentucky's 54 Appalachia counties^[1] are all in the Central Appalachia Regions. (See the Kentucky table on the project's Counties of Appalachia page.) The counties in Central Appalachia Region are Adair, Bath, Bell, Boyd, Breathitt, Carter, Casey, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Cumberland, Edmonson, Elliott, Estill, Fleming, Floyd, Garrard, Green, Greenup, Harlan, Hart, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Laurel, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Lewis, Lincoln, McCreary, Madison, Magoffin, Martin, Menifee, Metcalfe, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Nicholas, Owsley, Perry, Pike, Powell, Pulaski, Robertson, Rockcastle, Rowan, Russell, Wayne, Whitley, and Wolfe.

Tennessee: Tennessee's 52 Appalachia counties^[1] are split between the South Central and the Central Appalachia Regions. (see the Tennessee table on the project's Counties of Appalachia page). The counties in the Central Appalachia Region are Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Clay, Fentress, Grainger, Hancock, Jackson, Macon, Morgan, Overton, Pickett, Scott, and Union.

Virginia: Virginia's 25 Appalachia counties,^[1] are split between the South Central and the Central Appalachia Regions. (see the Virginia table on the project's Counties of Appalachia page). The counties in the Central Appalachia Region are: Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Tazewell, and Wise.

West Virginia: West Virginia's 55 Appalachia counties,^[1] are split between the Northern Appalachia, North Central, and Central Regions. (see the West Virginia table on the project's Counties of Appalachia page). The counties in the Central Appalachia Region are Boone, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mingo, Wayne, and Wyoming.

When adding the appropriate Appalachians category, add any appropriate county-level location categories too. If working on pre-USA profiles, be aware that North Carolina and Virginia are part of the US Southern Colonies Project, which has guidelines for locations. See the Datafield Guide section of the US Southern Colonies Project Editing Guidance for specifics about pre-USA locations.

For instance, if someone was born in Augusta County, Colony of Virginia in 1750, married in Botetourt County in 1770, and died in Fincastle County in 1775, add

[[Category: Virginia Appalachians]]
[[Category: Augusta County, Virginia Colony]]
[[Category: Botetourt County, Virginia Colony]]
[[Category: Fincastle County, Virginia Colony]]

even though only Botetourt County is listed as one of today's 423 Appalacian counties by the Appalachian Regional Commision.^[1] Fincastle County went extinct in 1776, and what remains of the once vast Augusta County is not in the Appalachian Region.^[2]

The Appalachia Project's Counties of Appalachia includes all 423 counties listed by the Appalachian Regional Commission,^[1] plus some, with links to the WikiTree category pages.

He was on the Tug by the 1820's, then there were 4 more generations of Stepp grandfather's that lived in that area. For the Appalachia's, I'm most interested in that Stepp line (my mom is a Stepp) and their wives. I'll list the ones that lived on the Tug Fork below:

Moses Stepp m. Sally Jackson, Thomas (Justice of the Peace) Stepp m. Nancy Davis, James Matthew (River Jim) Stepp m. Elizabeth Bevins, Henry Russell Stepp m. Henrietta "Nettie" Caufield, George Washington Stepp m. Elender "Ellen" White. Also, Patrick Porter and his son Samuel Porter - not on the Tug, but on the western edge of Virginia during Dunmore's War, i.e. many fierce Indian battles that included Daniel Boone. Kentucky's Last Frontier by Henry P. Scalf was SO much fun to read, he focuses so much on so many families that came to Kentucky early on, and you can't help but love to see your own ancestors mentioned within. Is that ok to say here, lol?

Central Appalachia Team To-Dos

Profile Maintenance: Project members are asked to help work on profiles in the project's Maintenance Categories. Note that if you add a maintenance category, you should generally also add details of why you added it to the profile's Research Notes.

Needs categories can be added to a profile using the project sticker (see this template page), including Appalachia Project Needs Sources for a profile that has at least one source but needs additional sources.

Profiles for Appalachians with no sources should have {{Unsourced|Appalachia}} added to the profile, which will put the profile in the project's Unsourced Profiles category: Appalachia, Unsourced Profiles.

Tasks

Team members - if you're working on a listed task, please "sign" it by adding ~~~~

• Check location categories for profiles of people who were born in, who lived in or who were associated with this region.
  • Add the appropriate Appalachians category + Sticker.
  • If the person is associated with Appalachia, check the qualifications posted by the Notables Project to see if [[Category: Appalachia, Notables]] should be added to the person's profile (whether or not they're associated with the South Central region of Appalachia).

Note About VA & WV Stickers

When using the Appalachia Project's stickers, please keep in mind that West Virginia was NOT a State until June 20, 1863. Please use the appropriate stickers for those that were born in Virginia, now West Virginia:

Virginia and West Virginia Specific Stickers Sticker Sticker Code Native Virginian (Born in Virginia, Now West Virginia as of June 20, 1863) {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=Native Virginian (Born in Virginia, Now West Virginia as of June 20, 1863) |flag=US_State_Flag_Images-49.png |tooltip=Flag of Virginia }} ... ... ... was born in Appalachia, in Virginia (now West Virginia). {{Appalachia Sticker |born |state= VA-WV }} - IF the person stayed in what is now West Virginia ... ... ... was an Appalachian. {{Appalachia Sticker|state=Virginia}} - IF the person stayed in what is now Virginia NOTE: Also check the Profile's Location of Birth. If it states West Virginia and it is before June 20, 1863, please correct it to Virginia.
