Searching for birthplace of Samuel Adams who married Anne Adams, daughter of William Adams (who immigrated to U.S. with James McCoun from Ireland) and Mary Walker. Samuel and Anne moved to Salt River in Mercer county, Ky about 1773 along with the McAfees, Anne Adams' parents, and Ashbys.

William Adams also had a son named Samuel who was in the original party of 6 or so, The McAfee company who left Virginia to explore the Ohio river and its' tributaries in May 1772, returning to Virginia in August, this Samuel is the brother in law of the Samuel who I am looking for.

This means these are two groups of Adams. I believe Samuel b.c.1743, my 5th gg. immigrated from County Cavan, Ireland c.1758, and probably therefore of the Cavan Adams, who immigrated to Ireland from Scotland c.1600 (Adam) of Gordon, but am unable to find documented proof. Anne Adams' parents, William Adams and Mary (Walker) and many of their children left Mercer County and settled up the Wabash in Indiana and Illinois (See Ruby Cronk's work). Many Adams in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are descended of these lines. My 4gg., Thomas b.1772, son of Samuel and Anne, m. Anne Ashby and moved to Hopkins Cty., KY c1800 along with other Ashbys. Thomas was the 1st sheriff of Hopkins in 1806. I have the nearly complete Bible records of my lineages to Thomas.

I'm looking for the father of Campbell Hughart who was born in Adair County (c.1830),KY but whose father and ancestor were born in VA. I believe they are from the Bath County, VA and Greenbrier County, WV areas.

I can't thank everyone enough who has helped me with sorting out the Foglesong Family of the Shenandoah Valley and West Virginia. I am reposting my query to see if anyone can help me locate information on Catherine Foglesong, b. Sept 22, 1796 and her husband John Mayes (Mays). They were married in Bath County Virginia in January 1818. The marriage bond was issued on January 18, 1818 and the return was filed on January 23, 1818. The majority of Catherine's brothers and sisters moved in the 1820's to Mason County and Jackson County in what is West Virginia today.

Catherine, also had a sister Elizabeth Foglesong who married Jacob Minich in Bath County, VA in April 1819. The marriage bond was issued on April 5, 1819. Her father George Foglesong consented for her, and her brother John Foglesong was a witness. I have been unable to locate information on them in Bath County or Mason. I have not really focused on Jackson County. Any information would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Christopher Dunn

I am doing research on the Hites (also spelled Heydt). There is a linkage with Long Meadows, Middletown, Frederick County, Virginia for Hans Jost Hite and his wife Anna Maria Merckle and their ten children, including Isaac Hite Jr. who married Nellie Conway Madison. I have found conflicting information on some of the family as generations moved from Long Meadows to Belle Grove Plantation to Rockingham, Augusta, and Bath Counties.

I would like to meld this conflicting data into a complete entry that my daughters can give to their paternal grandparents. As I am fairly new to the genealogy field, any guidance on acquiring source documents and information

I am interested in seeking clarification of the origns of the Foglesong Family of Wythe/Bland Counties, VA. The LDA database lists a Simon Foglesong b. 1715 married a Susannah b. 1725. They are listed as having three children, Christian Foglesong b. 1762 m. Barbaray Mary Kegley; Maria Catherina Foglesong b. 1769 m. Nicholas Yenders; and Charles Foglesong b. 1772 m. Margaret Yew (Ewe). I know that Charles Foglesong and Margaret Ewe were married about March 11, 1794, and that Catherine Foglesong m. Nicholas Yenders on Jan 5, 1789. Both marriages took place in Frederick County, VA.

I am seeking clarification because I have been able to trace my Foglesong line (Bath, Mason, and Jackson Counties) back to Stephen City (Stephensburg, Va). My fourth great grandfather George Foglesong lived in Stephen City. He died in 1773, and left a wife Catherine, and two known children George Foglesong and Jacob Foglesong. George Foglesong m. Mary Swartz in 1793 in Shenandoah County, and Jacob Foglesong m. Catherine Spurr in 1792. Jacob d. in 1802 with no children and his wife Catherine remarried to Peter Mauk in 1804 and moved to Indiana. George Foglesong, who died in 1773, also had a brother Christian Foglesong who lived in Stephen City. He died in 1777. In his will he leaves his sister-in-law Catherine some items, and also leaves his brother Simon of Germantown, PA (Philadelphia) some items. Simon I know was in Germantown by 1776 and died there in 1791.

I feel uncomfortable with the LDS data regarding Simon and Susannah because Simon would have been 52,54 and 57 when his children were born, and his wife would have been 42,44 and 47. While this is possible, I have some reservations.

The data from the LDS database does not have a submission source, so I can not contact anyone.

I have information on a Simon and Sussannah Foglesong of Frederick County, VA. Simon was granted 150 acres in 1787 and he sold it in 1793 to John Wetzel. Also, they lived there at the same time that Charles Foglesong b. 1772 and Catherine Foglesong b. 1769 were married in Frederick County, VA. I have not been able to find information in Frederick County identifying them as the children of the Simon and Susannah who lived in Frederick County, Va. I am wondering if it is possible, that this Simon was not born in 1715 but perhaps later, about 1745 - 1750, perhaps in Germany, and that he may be the son of Simon Foglesong of Germantown, VA. I would like to discuss with anyone who has answers to these questions, or can let me know the source of the LDS information. I know this is a long shot, but would appreciate any input. Thanks, Chris Dunn

Would like any information on family members and parish in which the following served as clergy and/or vestrymen from the years of 1732-1786. I am confused as to whether Nicholas Lanier and Samson Lanier were brothers and if they served in Bath Parish, St.Andrews Parish, or the Church of Brunswick. In the information I have it also mentions churches in Lawrenceville, a place called Wilkins Chapel and a third church about eighteen miles from Lawrenceville. Any information on these two men and the churches they may have served in would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you,

TORR/TARR. Looking for birthplace of children of William and Elizabeth (Crawford) Torr. Given as James River. Does anyone know of a town or area of this name in Bath Co.? E-mail correspondence though he remembered on.

I am looking for information about James Elliott and his wife, Elizabeth Trimble Elliott. They lived in augusta County, (James was born in 1744)on the Calf Pature River.
