Hi, The Floyd's, Gore's, and Dodd's--for sure--left VA, and settled in and around Union and Spartanburg Counties, SC. As did my George Norman, b. abt 1727/1735 or so--since he married in 1756 (to Margaret Dodd) and needed no one to give permission for him to marry--and apparently, he had no parents or siblings or Aunt or Uncles or cousins--and seems to just have hatched or something. Maybe he's from an alien planet--because NO ONE in 50 yrs or so, has ever been able to link him to ANYONE. However, he has the same DNA as the Norman's from Somerset, England! Just can't hook him up. The above surnames were tied in with the Janney's too, somehow. And the Pearson's.

"So I am interested in knowing how many of our Bush River Quakers moved there from Louden County." I believe Jacob and Elizabeth/Ann Taylor Chandler came from Hopewell MM as did Elizabeth's father Jonathan Taylor and his wife. (Can't remember her name off the top of my head.) Where Jacob Chandler or his line came from before that is the big question, and the one we're hoping DNA will help us solve.

So are you talking specifically Louden County or just anywhere in Virginia?

"So I am interested in knowing how many of our Bush River Quakers moved there from Louden County." My Loudoun County, Fairfax MM, Hawkins (James & Martha (Hollowell) Hawkins and family were associated with Bush River for a short time until Cane Creek, SC was organized. They left VA about 1767. It would seem that maybe his brothers, William, John, Joseph, and Isaac, and sisters Mary and Hannah Hilton might have been located there in VA, but we have not found any records for them. They were all born in Bucks County PA. "It is said that James and family lived in Loudoun Co., VA, long enough to find that it was a good place to starve, this was by the records about 12 years."
