I have talked to Judy about this before.... Franklin County Virginia Marriage records - say 1780s, 1790s show an Isaac Rentfro as one of the ministers.... I at first thought several of the families in Franklin Co vA in 1790s were same families who appear on 1840 Van Buren Co AR census, now I find many of the VA families actually ended up in Kentucky....my daughter just got back from Renfro Valley Kentucky. I know the Moses Potter/Francis Kirby in VA went to KY, and it seems so did the Estes, and Kirbys, etc. So my Potters I am still looking for after collecting a lot of info on these Potter/Kirby/Estes. But....I still think my theory about these people traveling together is a good one.... In Franklin Co VA 1791 Elizabeth Young married Anthony Owens with John Young Sur. In the 1840 census of Van Buren Co AR - appears Elizabeth Owens (she must have been a widow) and also John O. Young. So....could it be the same people? There are other names in 1790s VA and 1840 AR which are the same - Young, Potter, Owens, Lemon, Edmunds, etc. So I still think while some went from VA to Kentucky, some might have taken a left and ended up in Arkansas. By the way - Franlin co VA marriage... Turpen Rentfro to Sarah Troupe in 1792, Jesse Rentfro to Lucy bates in 1787. Mary
