Perhaps counties bordering the Ohio-Mississippi River? Counties in the mid-west? Counties with National Parks? with famous colleges? (are there any famous colleges in WV???) Counties where it's legal to marry your sister? ...
Or simply counties in the United States? #-o

You're close enough, pghnative, so I'm going to give you the points.

Final Score

ATP: 3
Grey: 3
phgnative: 3
Sock Puppet: 2
Fram: 2

It seems we have a three-way tie. :-k

The correct answer is: They are all counties in the United States of America 8)

US Counties

By the way, if you Google all ten answers in order, this site is the 76th site returned. The BABB is 32nd!

I propose breaking the tie by splitting my points with ATP --- His (non)guess of "Irish Counties" and your hint of "follow the ellipsis" gave it to me.
