I have a court record of VA, in 1857, showing a John Sampson and Lucy w/ ch. Elijah, William, and John. John Sr. made a land deed in Orange Co., VA, in 1797. Their son Elijah is shown as having ch. Leanna, Lucinda(Geo. Frederick), Matilda(William Stratham), FOUNTAIN, Pitney, Nancy, John, and George. These children of Elijah are listed as NOT being residents of VA. OUR FOUNTAIN BAKER SAMPSON is supposed to have come from Tennessee, and his first child he named Elijah. Fountain (1807-1871) married a Melissa Hickerson (1818-1869) in 1834 in Montgomery Co. MO. She was a GreatGranddaughter of Daniel Boone. He settled in the Elmer, Mo, area and is buried at Mt. Tabor Cemetery, Atlanta, Macon Co., MO. I don't have proof positive, but I suspect that is OUR FOUNTAIN SAMPSON. Thank You< Jim and Deanna. jdarchi@vcn.com
