I would like to know who Samuel's parents are or any information about him. Samuel was to inherit half the land in Hampshire Co, VA (now in WV) left to his grandmother, Ann (Conway) Oldham AUGHNEY [1718-1796], by her husband, Darby Aughney [ca. 1714-1795], at the time of Ann's death. Source: 1795 will of Darby Aughney. Ann died April, 1796. Conway Rector [1760-1832] was to receive the other half of the land at the same time. He was the son of Nancy Ann Oldham [1744-1818] and Daniel Rector, Sr.[1738-1814]. Samuel was an executor to this will: "Early Records Hampshire Co., VA, Now W.VA" 1976, Synopsis of Wills, Books I-XXI, p. 107. Aughney, Ann, 11-17-1795, pr. 4-18-1796.
