Joseph Tomlinson Jr. was the very first settler at Grave Creek, Elizabethtown, now known as Moundsville, WV. Along with his brothers, Samuel and James, they scouted this area in the 1760's. They built cabins and planted their corn. Joseph returned to Little Meadows, MD to marry Elizabeth Hartness. He returned, bringing his mother-in-law (Mary nee Scott) and sister-in-law, Mary, along with others. He built his fort at the site of the old Moundsville High School. While hunting one day, he discovered the mound. The ownership stayed in the family until the 1860's when a granddaughter sold it.
Three of their children were born at Redstone, PA, where the family spent 6 years to avoid the Indian attacks. Joseph Jr.'s brother, Samuel, stayed behind and was killed by Indians outside of Ft. Henry at Wheeling. Indians burned Joseph Jr. property. All had to be built back when they returned.
