Thanks, Craig. I hope others have some insights, too. Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime!

The best I can offer is an earlier outmigration from Richmond in the case of Yeo Avery, himself an immigrant from Cornwall, England to Richmond County about 1707. He disappears from Richmond County (where he never missed a day in court either suing somebody or being sued) until 1722. I lose all trace of him after that until ten years later, when he took up 400 acres of land in Prince George County--that part that became Amelia County, where is once again a regular in front of the court. Oddly enough, I don't find the people who is associated with there as Richmond County people. Then again, when I did that research many years ago, I was not as familiar with the Northern Neck families as I am today. I suppose I should take another look at that. > > It does offer an interesting take on migrations. Of Yeo Avery's three grandsons, Charles Avary (spelling changes at this time) went to Old 96 District in South Carolina, John Avary went to Columbia County, Georgia (via Mecklenburg County, Virginia), and the children of the third grandson, William Avary, went both to Columbia County and to Kentucky and Missouri. > > Let us know if you find that wagon train! > > Craig > > On Feb 20, 2013, at 1:33 PM, Jim Bartlett wrote: > >> I'm looking for a Wagon Train, that probably left Richmond Co, VA in early 1750s to the Carolinas. I've heard the SETTLES were in it. 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?
