Mine came from Frederick County, VA. but I can find some records and not others. If anyone has any suggestions for places in Virginia that we might look to find our Clermont relatives it would certainly be helpful. Many families must have traveled together or hooked up along the way. I've often thought about listing all families in a particular Clermont township in order to see if that would offer any additional clues. >> Some one has been looking at my brick wall - my g.g.grandfather - born in VA in 1788 - first shows up in Clermont Co., Tate Twp - married (in Clermont Co.) with land and children. Where did he come from - who were his parents and siblings??? Darn if I can find him before that. Anybody have any ideas?? His surname was Gosney. Beth (Gosney7@aol.com)
