Jim,   I know there were some Richmond Co., VA families that migrated south including Hightower, Tarpley, Hammond, and others.  They were in Brunswick Co., VA near my Damerons who migrated from Northumberland Co., VA to Brunswick Co., VA in the early 1760's.  The Damerons eventually moved into Caswell Co., NC by the 1790's. Thanks.

Through circumstantial evidence, Joseph or James BARTLETT, age 20, give or take a few, must have been in it. Thomas BARTLETT had 5 sons in his Will: John (to Culpeper Co c1750), James, Thomas Jr (my ancestor, in Prince William Co c1753), Joseph and Elisha (stayed in Richmond Co, VA). Descendants of John, Thomas Jr and Elisha all have identical DNA tests (and an unusual E1b result). Another exact match can be traced backward from AR to KY to Pendleton Dist, SC c1790 (a Nimrod BARTLETT). So somehow the E1b DNA got from Richmond Co, VA c1750 to SC - almost certainly carried by Joseph (probably) BARTLETT. >> >> Does anyone have knowledge of a Wagon Train from Richmond Co, VA, headed south, c1750s?  Family names?
