Drewry Farley Monument
The Drewry Farley Monument was commissioned by the Pipestem Ruritan Club in the late 1960s. A photo of the monument and more information can be found by searching the internet for "Drewry Farley Monument - West Virginia (WV) Cyclopedia".
The monument reads:
"Drewry Farley settled 100 yards south of this grave. He and his wife, Mary Adkins Farley were the first white persons to make their permanent home in this area, about 1800. He served with Daniel Boone in the Hugh Caperton Company in Frontier Militia at the present site of Charleston in 1793. Born 1760, Bedford County, VA, died 1851. He named Pipestem because of the hollow stems found along the creek. Sons: Andrew, Archibald, Issac, Drewry, Jr, Gideon, Francis, Squire, Henley. Daughters: Nancy, Rachel, Cleo."
According to the "History of Summers County from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time" by James Henry Miller, Maude Vest Clark and published in 1908..."Drewry Farley came from Albemarle County, Virginia, and settled in what is now Pipestem District, where Alexander Farley lives, only a few hundred yards from Farley Post Office."
"To Drewry Farley and wife were born the following children: Gideon, Andrew, Frank, Archibald, Squire (died in Indiana), Nancy (the first wife of David Cook), Isaac (who is the father of Erastus B. Farley, of near Jumping Branch), Chloe, Rachel (who married Henry Kaylor), Henley (who married a daughter of "Bearwallow Bob" Lilly, and settled on the bench of Bluestone River, in Jumping Branch District, and who is the father of J. A., Rev. Drewry, Robert H. and Pleasant H. Farley and two daughters), and Drewry Farley (who is the father of James I., Alexander, Geo. W. Farley, deceased, and four daughters, the oldest of whom married Edmund Lilly, of Mercer County, and a son of Rev. Joseph Lilly). All the sons and daughters of the ancient Drewry Farley have been passed over the river for several years, as well as several of their children. The old gentleman himself died in the year 1851, at the age of ninety-one years."
