Anyone know why so many lived in Mason Co KY in late 1700's that were from Fauquier Co VA? My ancestor, William White, was listed in 1761 roster of Capt. William Edmonds Troops out of Fauquier Co VA. William White had 8 children. 6 of them were living in Mason Co KY in 1797 when he died. I wonder if land in Mason Co KY was given to soldiers from Fauquier Co VA for their services. Anyone know? Appreciate any clues. Also would like to share with other White family descendants from early Mason Co KY. My White family intermarried with the Bailey and Waddell family that also went to Mason Co KY with my White family.
