Ann, In response to your post on 9 Nov: > Looking for info on CARMICHAEL'S of Carmichaels Town, Green Co..I have a > Daniel CARMICHAEL who came with brothers Douglas and James from Ireland in > late 1700's. > I assume you are aware of the references to James Carmichaels in "The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Familes," which mentions that James Carmichaels bought a tract of land from Thomas Hughes in 1780. There are a few other references to James, but none that I could find for Daniel or Douglas. I have the original Pennsylvania land patent for John Swan (my 5th great grandfather) who also settled in the same area (near Muddy Creek in present-day Greene County). In that document, which describes the boundaries of his tract, it mentions those who owned adjoining land. James Carmichaels is one of them, although in the patent it is spelled "Karmikals." (I mention this because having a variant spelling may help in your search of old records.) Also, you should keep in mind that many of those who settled in that area did so during the time that jurisdiction was under dispute between Virginia and Pennsylvania. John Swan, for example, actually settled in the area in the late 1760's, and considered it then to be part of Virginia. The Pennsylvania patent, which was dated in 1786, basically formalized his ownership under Pennsylvania law. There was also an earlier document with the Virginia land office. In case anyone is interested, the other names mentioned in the patent document as owning land bordering John Swan's tract are: John Rice, Thomas Adam, Benjamin Lemmers, Thomas Roach, Quiller Martin and Richard Swan.
