Hi Jackie, You're welcome for the information. Glad it was of some help. Unfortunately, I don't have any info concerning New Providence. I don't know where its located nor any of its history. I was just repeating back the initial reference to that Rev. Brown being at New Providence in order to discern between the two Rev. Brown's. There are two initial internet locations you might want to explore to see if they match what you are looking for or will at least point you in the right direction. The first is Glenda Lambert-Jackson's cemetery listing site located at http://www.geocities.com/augcem/index.html?1018315012530 She has a listing for the "Old Providence Cemetery" which does include a fair amount of Carsons buried there. Another place to check is the Augusta County USGENWEB site located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaaugust/ A third site to take a look at is the website for the history of the New Providence Presbyterian Church located at http://home.ntelos.net/~newprov/history.html Also, if you do a Google search you can get more internet references for the church. Under "Advanced Search", put in the EXACT PHRASE of New Providence *and* put in Reverend John Brown on the line next to "with all the words". I got 310 references for New Providence. Perhaps those places will give you some clues as to where to look next ... Hope that helps.

Michael, Thanks for your input to my query about my ancestor Carson's marriage in Augusta this is very helpful as I did not have the ministers name or church affiliation. Could you tell me where New Providence was located? I believe you sited that as the minister Rev. John Brown's (Presbyterian) area?? And I will also ask you if you are aware of locations on the internet for searching this Presbyterian history?? Many thanks for your time. Jackie

Norma, Thanks for your reply and info. I did have the marriage record however I did not have the minister John Brown, I have this morning seen a reply to your suggestions of a Lutheran or Presbyterian affiliation. I was almost certain he would have been the later with my Carson /McCauley union and this person confirmed that he had to have been since his minister ancestor John Brown did not come to the area that early. Now this leads to a new clue any Presbyterian churches in that area at that time. Do you know of any sources that would have that information on the internet??? Many Thanks Jackie

You mention that you don't know which Reverend Brown performed the marriage. I can help you out with that one. The "Rev. John Brown" who performed the marriage in 1794 had to be the Presbyterian John Brown of New Providence. The other Rev. John Brown was my 4 Great Grandfather. Born Johannes Braun on July 21, 1771, near Vegesack, Germany, he didn't come to America until 1797, landing in Baltimore. He didn't begin the service of the congregations in Rockingham and Augusta County until October 1798. Though he preached in the valley at many, many churches and congregations for 50+ years, he couldn't have performed the McCauley-Carson marriage in 1794 as he simply wasn't even in America yet. Hope that is helpful ...

Bob, I kind of think I saw it in the same Revolution Pensions file. At the time, and it was awhile ago, I was able to order it through the Archives at my library. I didn't make any copies of it though. I can't honestly say that those pension fiels are available online, but maybe someone else can say. I believe that they are aviailable at any regional Federal archives. I'm sorry I not much more help. I was only trying to establish my relative whose name and marriage was mentioned in the contested will cases for her father, John Dean.

Pat, Thankyou for the information on John Kincaid from Virginia. Towards the end of you notes I see reference to a John Kincaid of Fayette County. My Mary/Polly Thompson married John Kinkead there in 1790. There were a couple of John Kinkeads in the area in the early days. Have you seen the pension file for John of Fayette County? Thanks for the help. Bob Thompson

Hello Sue - Thank you for thinking of me. This land transaction took place 4 years after my John was born, so it cannot be my man who purchased this land. And yes, I have established that the James Thompson whose wife was Rebecca, is not the same as my James Thompson, whose only wife was Temperance 'Tempe' (Mooney.). The John Gray being referenced here is at least one generation earlier than my man. Thanks anyway.

Hi All While going through deeds on my HARMAN line I found a David W. PATTERSON and wife Anna B. who were previous owners in 1840. David W. PATTERSON is not listed on the 1840 or 1850 census in Augusta Co., VA. He is listed in 1830 age 30-40 as is his wife - there were no children. Does anyone know to what family David W. PATTERSON born 1790-1800 belongs? Thanks Linda B. Morin [email protected]

Greenbrier Co. In 1781 a James Thompson was to view rd from Thomas Kinkaids on Muddy Creek to James Hustons.

Hi All Does anyone have a link to an early Staunton map - somewhere in the time period of 1800 to 1850? I have looked at current maps and cannot find Port Republic Road. I know there is a Port Republic Road from Waynesboro going north. However, the deeds that I am looking at state that it is by Lewis Creek about 2 and 1/2 miles east of Staunton which is the wrong direction and distance for Waynesboro. Thank you for your help.

Hello list, Am just dropping in ,noting all the Patton information and discussion on this family. We have a Patton connection also. our family,BREEDING, lived in Greenbrier( maybe Augusta) 1801 and left for Christian Co,KY. Pattons also moved to KY with them and even moved into TX 1828 with our folks. the family even named their sons after Pattons.One name is St.Clair Patton. Has anyone in Augusta County seen this family? JOHN, DAVID, and RICHARD BREEDING? We know of David in the Augusta Militia, Capt John McDowells Militia. Collateral families: ARBUCKLE,DAVIS,CLENDINEN,PATTON. Maybe someone has stumbled on something here for BREEDING.

Hello Again: Thanks for sharing. I agree that there were at least 2 James Thompsons in the Greenbrier/Monroe Counties area and I do not think Captain James is my man for I have no evidence he attained that rank, unless it would have been in the War of 1812, but I have no record of such service. At one time, I thought Kitty Kincaid's son John Gray was my man, and others have thought so too. However, there was a query on RootsWeb on 9-30-02 that says this John Gray, b. ca 1795, died in 1838 in Illinois and was married to Nellie Hoxie ca 1820. My John Gray was b. 28 Jan 1784, several years before Kitty and her husband were married, and was in Union Co., OH by 1816 and married to Susannah Thompson. My John died in 1855 and is buried at Watkins, Millcreek Twp., Union Co., OH. I have an extensive genealogy I have built over the past several years on the Monroe Co., WVA Gray family. One branch (William) went to NC and are believed to have been Quaker down that way. Isaac of that branch came to Champaign Co., OH about the same time my John came to Union Co., OH - right next door to each other. Further, my John named his second oldest son James Isaac. First born son was named for his second wife's grandfather - Vincent Sherman. Therefore I believe it is the second son who was named for the Gray ancestor(s). Hence, I am looking for a James Gray, who may have a connection to the NC branch, or one of the other Isaac Gray's in southwestern VA/WV. If I can ever get a lead on my John's parents, I will travel to the area to see what I can find.
