Thomas Cooke Jr Asst Marshal ENUMERATOR'S REMARKS: Wyoming County is situate on the head of Guyandotte River. Very mountainous abounds with pure freestone water, with a great variety of timber; The bowels of the earth abounds with coal. The rocks are entirely of the freestone species, the land fertile and pro- duces a great many things kindly. It is called one of healthiest counties in Virginia. We scarce ever have contagous disease in this county. Thomas Cooke Junr
