I found this in the McMurray Archives while trying to find any messages pertaining to Richard H. Edmonson & Martha J. McCurry: John Thompson BRIDGES (Robertson County, TN) P.O. Box 8137, Glendale, AZ 85312-8137 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` List of People Owning Land in The Borden Tract The Borden Tract was established about 1736 in the Valley of Virginia, known today as the Shenandoah Valley. The map I took this data from is a reproduction that is sold by Lexington Historical Society. Borden got the rights to develop 500,000 acres of land in this area. This area took in a large portion of what is Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, VA, today. Some were already here before Borden began to develop it. I have listed the names of the land owners and date and number of acres to them. The names may appear more than once. That just means they bought additional land or had sons or more than one man by that name.
