    Age 22

    "West Virginia was given statehood status with the ""agreement"" the citizens would phase out slavery. On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Statehood Bill for West Virginia. West Virginia was proclaimed a state on April 20, 1863, with the bill becoming effective 60 days later, June 20, 1863. When West Virginia first entered statehood in 1863, there were only 46 counties. That same year, four other counties voted themselves into West Virginia. Today, there are 55 counties in the Mountain State. The oldest county in the state is Hamsphire County formed in 1754 as part of Virginia. The youngest county is Mingo formed in 1895. The smallest county is Hancock located in the northern panhandle of the state with Randolph being the largest. When the Legislature convened for its first session, there were only 47 members of the House of Delegates and 18 members of the State Senate. Through the years, the number has increased to 100 members of the House of Delegates and 34 members of the State Senate."

    Name Meaning

    Some characteristic forenames: Irish Brendan, Kieran, Conor, Declan, Dermot, Fionnuala, Aidan, Aileen, Brigid, Donovan, Eamon, Jarlath.

    shortened Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Coinn, earlier spelled Ó Cuinn, ‘descendant of Conn’, a personal name meaning ‘wisdom’ or ‘chief’ (see O'Quinn ). This is the name of several families in Ulster and counties Clare, Longford, and Mayo.

    shortened Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Coinne ‘descendant of Coinne’, a personal name which may be a variant of Coinneach (see also McKenzie ). This is an Ulster surname, a sept deriving from Eoghan, son of Niall Naoighiallach, from whom Tyrone is named. In most cases the Anglicized forms cannot be distinguished from sense 1 above, although final -e may have been intended as syllabic.
