This is a guess. An educated guess, but not one gained from viewing census records. I'LL guess 50% of the people in sw Oh said to be born in Va in the 1850 and 1860 census were born in WV, created about 1863. I'll guess many of the others were born in counties west,or north west of Stafford Co. Va ___________________________________________________________________ Why pay more to get Web access?
