(Note: From - History Of Lorentz Community - Written For Country Life Conference, 1923, By A. J. Marple - Lorentz, circa 1905 Early History ----- The settlement of this community dates back to the eighteenth century. It was originally a part of Harrison County, became a part of Lewis County in 1816, and of Upshur County in 1851. The early pioneers were the Allmans, Castos, Regers, Westfalls, Lorentzes, Clarks, and others. They were maily of Dutch descent, and were an honest, sturdy, hardy, industrious, frugal people, and have transmitted these qualities to their descendants in a marked degree. Cornelius Westfall was the first settler on Saul's Run. He was the grandfather of George W. Allman and the late Jacob M. Allman.)

According to the marriage record, Cornelius was born in Machackemeck, New York and Elizabeth in Sineaquan, new York.

This is supported by the appearance of Eleanor Westfall in the 1783 Hamshire County tax lists after the death of Cornelius and in the recording of the will. However, Cornelius used the name Magdalene in his will. [W. Lynn Hutchison]. The probate lists her as Eleanor, widow of Cornelius - RNW

Cornelius and his wife Elizabeth moved away from the Delaware River to the Virginia Territory near the south branch of the Potomac River near the present day town of Romney some time after his father Abel. Cornelius's father Abel had migrated there in 1743 with his nephew Jacob and son John, and was granted 400 acres in Augusta County, Virginia in 1748. In 1754 Hampshire County, Virginia was created from Augusta and Frederic Counties, and Romney became the Hampshire County seat in 1762, and later in 1863 became a part of West Virginia when that state was admitted to the union.
(Note: - Abel and his son Johannes/John, and a nephew came to what is now Hardy County, WV [then Hampshire] sometime before 1745, when Abel died there intestate. Cornelius had remained in NY [or NJ] until after his father's death, but came later to claim the property which was involved in a lawsuit. Cornelius who at the time of his father's death and long after lived in the state of New Jersey, moved to Virginia and took possession of the land in question about the year of 1773, and continued to hold it until his death in 1782. Cornelius died in Hampshire Co., in 1782/3. His will was proved there in March 1783.
