Pam, You need to get the Index of Deeds for Grantees for your family member's surname for the period prior to the sale date and then just search down the list until you find the listing for the original purchase. The Index will then give you the Book and Page number for that deed and you can order it from the clerk of the court.

I believe this family is part of the earlier generations in my Custer family. They might be descendants of Abraham Custer in Botetourt but I haven't studied this line. I know there was a Abraham Custer but I'm not that familiar with this line. I know there was one Abraham Custer who left Botetourt and went to Warren Co., Tn.

My 3rd great grandparents are John Lewis Custer who went by Lewis Custer and Rebecca Shawver. Lewis Custer is the son of John Custer and Mary "Polly" Smiley daughter of James Smiley and wife unknown. They were married in Botetourt County, Va. 19 Jun 1839. By the 1850 census they removed to Warren County, Tn. In the 1860 census they moved to Union County, Illinois where they both died in 1863. In the 1820 Botetourt County census the following are listed: John Custard; Adam Sawver; Andrew Shawver; James Smiley; Daniel Smiley; George Smiley; and William Smiley. I am looking for the parents of Rebecca Shawver. Any information would greatly be appreciated. Marianne Dillow

I forgot to mention that John Custer and Mary "Polly" Smiley were married in Botetourt County 13 Sep 1809.

There was a Jellystone Park Campground not far from there. That's all I can remember. Does anybody know the name or exact whereabouts of this cemetery? Agnes Wilkerson was my great-grandmother.
