Visit the gen web pages of Washington Co., Russell Co., and Lee County, VA, during the 1775 - 1790 era to find many of the names you find on Davidson and Sumner County tax and militia rolls. Its almost as if those Virginians were drawn there awaiting the opportune moment to move westward into KY and TN. You can link to VA and then to those counties by going to http://www.usgenweb.org/statelinks.html A brother of my 4th great-grandmother was killed by Indians there, and in 1808 her son, John Carter Stark, brought his sons and daughters and their families to Sumner Co. Three others of my Sumner County ancestors came through that area between 1782 and 1800. Joyce
