The names of some of them follow: John Rains, Kasper Mansker, Abraham Bledsoe, John Baker, Joseph Drake, Obadiah Terrill, Uriah Stone, Henry Smith, Ned Cowan, Robert Crockett. >> In addition to those named above, Walter T.

Durham says that these men came from Rockbridge County and New River County, VA, but unfortunately that doesn't tell us much about their origins as these locales were more jumping off places for adventurous longhunters than places of residence.
