Excerpt from History, the Chenoweth Family: Address of Captain William H. Cobb, 8th Reunion of the Family Held Near Elkins on the First Saturday in September, 1922 It has not been my good fortune to attend the former meetings of the reunion of the Chenoweth family in this old and famous valley of Chenoweth Creek, which has played its part in the uplift of the country from pioneer days, and which has always played an important part in the history of Randolph County. There is an inspiration in these reunions of old families, they teach us a lesson of reuniting the ties of kinship: of neighborly love and friendship, and especially the lesson of ancestral homage. We are taught by the Chinese and also by the Japanese that ancestral homage is next to divine worship, in fact, some not informed think that ancestrial worship is the religion of the East, and while that is not the case, these Eastern people revere the memory of the ancestor and .are correct in so doing, and in the same way we annually pay homage to the Fathers of the country, and so we are today paying our respect to a hero of the Revolution, whose dust rests in this splendid valley and under the shaft that marks the last resting place of John Chenoweth, a soldier of the American Revolution. My investigation of the history of the Chenoweth family in America leads me back to the original John Chenoweth who came to America two hundred and two years ago, and in Baltimore he established his workshop and his family.
