• Western counties of Virginia refused to secede from the Union. A Constitutional Convention assembled at Wheeling, Virginia on November 26, 1861 and adjourned February 18, 1862, forming a new state which joined the Union as the 35th. state in 1863. These 55 counties, formerly Virginia counties became West Virginia counties: *Barbour, Berkeley, *Boone, *Braxton, Brooke, Cabell, Calhoun, Clay, Doddridge, *Fayette, *Gilmer, *Grant, Greenbrier, Hampshire, *Hancock, Hardy, Harrison, *Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, *Lincoln, Logan, Marion, Marshall, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, *Mineral, *Mingo, Monongalia, Monroe, Morgan, Nicholas, Ohio, Pendleton, Pleasants, Pocahontas, Preston, Putnam, Raleigh, Randolph, Ritchie, Roane, *Summers, Taylor, Tucker, Tyler, Upshur, Wayne, *Webster, Wetzel, Wirt, Wood, and Wyoming:* Counties were formed from existing West Virginia Counties after 1863; see the county list at USGENWEB, WV, for formation dates and parent counties. Any county designated as being in WV prior to 1863 was actually in VA.
