Do you know of Sewell Valley ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Sewell Valley. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Sewell Valley.<1>

Our sources for Sewell Valley (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Sewell Valley other than they indicate that Sewell Valley would be found somewhere in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1830 and closed  in 1924.
