I am looking for information regarding my g.g.g.g.grandmother Lydia Robinson daughter of William Robinson and wife of John Wiley. She was married in Botetourt County, Virginia May 13, 1774, and they settled in Upper Valley of Potts Creek in Monroe (or Botetourt) County, present-day Craig County, Virginia. They had at least 8 children, 2 remained on the same land and others migrated to Tennessee, Missouri, and other points west. If this sounds familiar to any of you out there, please contact me for information sharing! Thank you for your support. David E. Wiley Centreville, Fairfax County, Virginia deedah@bellatlantic.net
