Dear Cousins, The 2nd part of the George Washington pages is up. It begins referring to the people mentioned in the Diary and then will expand to include my notations on other early settlers who were in the Northern Valley of Virginia. These are the pioneering ancestors of those who ultimately made their way further and further into the south the west and finally crossed the plains to Oregon and California. Tomorrow I hope to have up the additional pages on Sherrando and Hopewell settlements, which was begun some time ago with the Virginia Migrations Pages: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Migrations/virginia.ht ml "Sherrando" was created from lands granted first to Isaac and John Van Metre (also Meter), whose son Henry is mentioned by GW. Hopewell is not referred to, but was created from a land grant to Quakers from Pennsylvania and Maryland, whose representatives were John Ross and Morgan Bryan(t). The new page is http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Potomac/GW2.html Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Carolyn McDaniel cmacdee@centurytel.net ========================================= --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
