I am new to the list and would like information regarding David Halliburton who immigrated to Virginia from Scotland in 1746. Any and all information would be appreciated (County of origin, sites and sources for further inquiry, living descendants, etc.). Regards, Elma Clamp California 1 David HALLIBURTON, Sr.1 ‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹ Birth: ca 1727, Scotland1 Death: 1767, Orange County, North Carolina1 David Halliburton, a native of Scotland, had a rich heritage of seven hundred years of Halliburton tradition which included generations of Border clan activity in a lusty period of Scottich and English history. (His rapid accumulation of land in America would indicate that he was industrious and not without means.) As a young man, possibly as a student, he came to the shores of Colonial America in 1746 as a direct result of the dispersion of a large segment of the population of Scotland by the Duke of Cumberland, who had been hired by the English to subdue the Scots. He located on Little Stone Creek in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. He continued his residence in Virginia until after the birth of his son William in 1760. Sometime thereafter, he conveyed his Virginia plantation home to Richard Ragsdale for the consideration of 125 pounds, and moved his family to Orange County in the Province of North Carolina. David, Sr. died in 1767, and in his will of January 3, 1767, he named each of his sons , David, Jr., John Charles, William and Thomas. He also made alternate plans for his unborn child, bequeathing 100 acres of land if the child should be a boy.1 Spouse: Amey Humphries1 Marr: ca 1752, Virginia1 Children: Charles (ca1758-1797) David (1753-1843) John (-1843) William (1760-1847) Thomas (1763-1843) Margaret (1767-) --
