Francis Harrison Pierpont

Francis Harrison Pierpont (January 25, 1814March 24, 1899), called the "Father of West Virginia," was an American lawyer, politician, and Governor of the Union-controlled parts of Virginia during the Civil War. After the war, he was the Governor of all of Virginia during the early years of Reconstruction. In recognition of his significance to its state history, in 1910 the state of West Virginia donated a marble statue of Pierpont as its second contribution to the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall Collection.〔
==Early life==
He was the third son of Francis Peirpoint and was born at the Peirpoint "Plantation" in the "Forks of Cheat" on the Morgantown-Ices Ferry Road, Monongalia County, (West) Virginia.〔Ambler, Charles H. Francis H. Pierpont: Union War Governor and Father of West Virginia (1937), page 6〕 His middle name, "Harrison," was added later by the boy's father in honor of his commanding officer, General William Henry Harrison. Pierpont, the original family name, was altered to Peirpoint in the land office at Richmond, VA in issuing patents for land deeded to his grandfather. The family was advised, by Virginia lawyers, that in order to hold their grandfather's land they must spell their last name as recorded in the patent. His father used the name Peirpoint throughout all of his life. Francis Harrison also utilized Peirpoint throughout most of his adult life including during his terms as the Civil War and Reconstruction Governor of Virginia. In 1880, when President Garfield appointed him Collector of Internal Revenue, Peirpoint sent his name to the U.S. Senate as Francis H. Pierpont.〔Francis H. Pierpont Autograph Narrative from the West Virginia & Regional History Center, WVU Libraries's Pierpont, Francis Harrison (1814-1899), Papers 1811-1949, manuscript - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OJwBKwMtA7o/UeAyHc7flQI/AAAAAAAABvM/xqeSJWbA2Eo/s1600/am0009+Pierpont+Name+Narrative.jpg.〕 Pierpont writes that "He consented to the change of his name because it was right." 〔Klos, Stanley Y., The Father of West Virginia: A Perplexing Name Change, http://www.francishpeirpoint.com〕
Pierpont grew up in western Virginia, in what is today Marion County, West Virginia; he was linked with the region's history for the rest of his life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Francis Harrison Pierpont )〕 He graduated from Allegheny College, and taught school in Virginia and Mississippi while also studying law. He was kin to Morgantown's founder Zackquill Morgan.
He was admitted to the bar in 1841, and became the local attorney for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1848. Prior to entering politics, he also helped found Fairmont Male and Female Seminary, the forerunner to Fairmont State University.〔
