For some my reports might seem confusing. What I do is I Follow the LAND not the person. I follow these lands through the changes in County Lines, and Parish Lines, as ever 2500 people these lines changed in Colonial Virginia. Theses lines and Parish Change are noted in Red on the time lines I establish a Time line on where to Look for the Neighbors and the Johnson's I am following Once I have establisehd these Line changes , I then follow the Neighbors (kinsman) of the Johnson's I am seeking. I place the Deeds to these lands in Notes or Research. This will lead me to where this Johnson went and where his lands went. County Lines and Parish Lines were re drawn up once a population reached 2,500 people. these lines where drawn on Streams, Rivers and Creeks. So what happened was when a new line was drawn on one side of a Creek is one part of a family and in another County or in another Parish. Still living on the same lands, but now in a different County or in a New Parish. To know your neighbor is to Know your Kinsman. These families travel as Clands in Colonial Virginia. They brought into the Colonies there relatives which lived beside them. They intermarried 2nd and 3 rd cousins. WHen they moved they moved as a Clan younger members seeking new lands they took with them their Kinsman. Tony
