Calhoun County, [West] Virginia was created from Gilmer County on March 5, 1856 by the Virginia State Legislature. In 1863, it became part of the new state of West Virginia. These birth-death records are part of the Virginia system of volunteer collection of the data within each county at the time of creation. Virginia began collecting this data in 1853 statewide. In these are the name/date/sex/parents and other information. In Calhoun County, there were 1739 names indexed for these records. It is sad to see a child born in one set of records and the mother and child died in the next set all within a few days of each other. James L.
