Wood County lay across the Blue Ridge Mountains from the plantations of
Tidewater Virginia, far from the Chesapeake shores where black children
were considered a cash crop.
Slaves here – despite the holdings of a few men like Foley – totaled
less than 2 percent of the population. Fortunes were made instead from
the steamboats and barges that plied the nearby Ohio River, carrying
Pennsylvania iron and coal through Parkersburg on their way down to
Cincinnati, Louisville and beyond. A few farsighted entrepreneurs were
beginning to see potential in the local “rock oil” – also known as
petroleum – that had long been a nuisance to people drilling wells for
drinking water.
