    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YAB.2ACI/2740.1.1.2 Message Board Post: The marriage of Nancy Eskridge Matthews is documented in Ohio Co., Kentucky, records. Tthe Falls of Rough area of what is now Grayson County, Ky., formed in 1810, was then Ohio County, Ky. William and Mary Matthews gave consent for the marriage. Wayne also has thought that Mary Matthews was quite likely an Eskridge simply because of the naming but has no empirical evidence to support that possibility. Both the George Eskridge and Wiliam Matthews families lived in Westmoreland County, Virginia, during the Revolutionary War period. George Eskridge (KY) first migrated to Fauquier County, Virginia, where he married his second wife Elizabeth Robinson, daughter of Nathaniel Robinson. After some time in Fauquier County, they moved to the Grayson County, Ky., and the Falls of Rough area. Interestingly, Nancy Eskridge Matthews was born about 30 years before the George Eskridge family moved to the Falls of Rough area of Grayson County, KY. Another Westmoreland Co., Va., family, the Wilsons, settled in the Falls area as well. There may be others. (From Wayne Meador)
