Botetourt Co is in the western portion between Alleghany, Bedford Rockbridge, Craig & Roanoke. In 1790 it included most of Roanoke, Craig & Alleghany. A great investment is "A Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses 1790-1920" by Thorndale & Dollarhide. It has helped me trace more than one elusive ancestor. It shows the progress of states and counties through those dates. I got mine thru GPC but am sure others have it.
