Franz O'Neall Myers AW Bowen History, Montgomery County, Indiana (1913) p 1180 Franz O'Neall Myers, one of the most progressive of Montgomery County's younger farmers and a worthy representative of two of the honored pioneer families of this section of the Hoosier state is a man who takes an abiding delight in nature and existence, because he has been in touch with the springs of life. Mr. Myers was born in Scott Township, Montgomery County on the farm where he now lives, one mile west of Ladoga Sept 4, 1885. He is a son of J. Frantz and Sarah E. (O'Neall) Myers. The father of our subject was born also in the house where the immediate subject of this sketch lives. He was a son of William Myers, who was a son of John Myers, Sr., who was the principal actor in the early development of Ladoga and Vicinity. He was the first of the family we can trace definitely. The family is of German origin, and emmigration was made to the US in the COlonial days. John Myers, Sr. was born in Lancaster County, PA about 1770, was married in 1791 to Katheran Hantz (Frantz), who was born in 1775. Soon after their marriage they moved to Botetourt County, Virginia, where they became owners of 200 acres of land. 8 children were born to them, an equal number of sons and daughters: John, Jr.; David; Henry; William; Catherine; Sallie; Elizabeth and Nancy. About the year 1828 John Myers, Jr. came to the site of Ladoga, Montgomery County, Indiana and prior to the spring of 1830 he had purchased 320 acres which joined the mill site south of Ladoga and in 1830 he brought his family here. In 1831 John Myers, Sr. and son Henry and nephew, Mathias Frantz came on horseback to Ladoga to visit John Myers, Jr. The senior Myers was then 60 years old. He was He was so favorably impressed with the possibilities of the new country that he returned to Virginia, sold his land and other property for $6000, which sum he put in a chest, which he loaded into a big wagon, piling furniture on top. Hitching four large horses to the outfit he started with his wife, youngest son William, son Henry and his family, and with a goodly party of others came overland to this county, arriving at Ladoga in the fall of 1833, their big prairie schooner, although nothing new to the pioneers, yet attracting much attention. When John Myers, Jr. was building the first flour mill there, William, the youngest brother of John, Jr. then a boy of 19, was sent to the Ohio river and brought back the machinery. John Myers, Sr. bought a great deal of land in and about Ladoga and between there and Parkersburg, aggregating 1304 acres. He was a man of great vigor of mind and body as is shown by the fact that at 60 when financially able to take his ease he moved from the home of his early life to what was then the western frontier and founded a new home where his children could have more abundant opportunities. it was his money and public spirit that made possible the fostering of private enterprises and building up the town of Ladoga. His death occurred in 1841, and he is buried in the cemetery at the south edge of Ladoga. He and his wife were members of the German Baptist Church and lived strictly in accord with their religious opinions. They were given to many acts of hospitality and charity, often providing a home for persons until they could provide a home for themselves. In her earlier married life, Mrs. Myers weaned one of her own children so she could rear her sisters, child, Mathias Frantz, who was left an orphan when a few days old. A leading trait of their character was industry. They loved work and were never idle. Mrs. Myers worked in the fields and no one was a better reaper or swifter binder than she. After the flax was sown she did all the rest of the work, sheared the sheep and made the cloth, cut and made homsepun clothes for all her children. SHe also had some ability as a milliner. Her death occurred in 1850 and she was buried beside her husband. Her son, William Myers, was born in 1816 in Botetourt Co, Va and was married here in 1836 to Lydia Harshbarger, daughter of Jacob and Salome (Ammen) Harshbarger. She was born in 1816 in Virginia near Roanoke City and came here with her parents in November 1831. Her father was a man of affairs, well to do and owned nearly 3000 acres near Ladoga. He was a religious man and of high moral character. William Myers' death occured on March 1, 1907. After his marriage, William Myers went to housekeeping in a log cabin on Raccoon Creek, a half mile south of where Franz O. Myers now lives. It was new land and he cleared it as he told his grandchildren in after years, "In those days we married to make a home. Now the young folks must have a home after marriage. I cleared this ground, your father ditched it. Now it is ready for you." He made a good farm of it and here he reared his family 7 children having been born to William Myers and wife, only four of whom are now living, namely: Mrs. Alice Baldwin, who lives East of Ladoga; and Daniel A. Myers, who lives four miles NE of Ladoga. Two other daughters, Mrs. Salome Graybill and Mrs. Mary Gill liv ein Kansas and Missouri. One of the sons was Jacob Frantz Myers, father of Franz O'Neall Myers. He was born May 18, 1850 on the place where Franz O. Myers now resides. He and Sarah Ellen O'Neall were married in this locality in 1877. She was a daughter of Abijah and Ellen Hall O'Neall. She was born in RIpley Township, this county April 25, 1854. Her mother was of Scotch-Irish blood and she came here from Ohio. Abijah O'Neall is mentioned in the sketch of William Q. O'Neall appearing elsewhere in this work. J. Franz Myers was a farmer all his life. He and his wife were Presbyterians. They lived all their married life on the farm where he was born and prospering with advancing years, he became owner of 320 acres of land, which he kept well improved and well cultivated and ranked among the successful and leading farmers of the southern part of the county. He was a man of exemplary character and was well and favorably known. He was active in the republican party, but never south office, being content to remain on his farm, always a man of modesty and plain manners. he was, hoever, a delegate to the state convention that nominated Governor Mount with whom he was well acquainted and was one of those whose earnest efforts brought about hte nomination of this distinguished son of Montgomery County. He was educated at Asbury (now DePauw) University and Smithson College, and was a member of the PHi Gamma Delta Fraternity. He was a delegate to the Presbyterian General Assembly in Washington D C. HIs death occurred November 24, 1903. His wife was educated at Smithson College. She was a strick Presbyterian and an earnest worker in the church. She was a good wife and mother and an excellent housekeeper. Her death occurred August 25, 1893. Franz O'Neall Myers, the immediate subject of this sketch, attnded Wabash College and also took a year in the agricultural department at Purdue. He left school upon the death of his father and took charge of the farm where he now resides, and he has made a great success of operating the same, carrying on general farming and stock raising on a large scale, and keeping the place well improved and well cultivated. On October 31, 1905, Mr. Myers married Chasie Bridges, daughter of John l. and Vina Harris Bridges. She was born reared and partly educated in Putnam County, where her father is a prosperous farmer and was county commissioner of Putnam County. Two children have been born to our subject and wife, namely: Howard B. and Madonna. Fraternally, Mr. Myers is a Mason. He is a member of the phi Gamma Delta fraternity. religiously, he belongs to the Presbyterian Church. His farm known as "Fair Acres" is well named as all who have seen it will readly acquiesce. It consists of 320 acres and his wife owns 80 acres. Mrs. Myers was educated at Western Female Seminary at Oxford Ohio. -- Jeffery G.

William MYERS Montgomery County, Indiana H. W. Beckwith History of Montgomery County, IN (Chicago: HH Hill, 1881) p 422 William MYERS, retired farmer, Ladoga, came with his parents, John and Catharine (HONTZ) Myers, to this township from Virginia in 1833. He was born on September 4, 1816, in the old hilly state of Virginia. At the time they settled in Montgomery County their market for many years was LaFayette, or to points on the Ohio river through a wild timbered country, without roads or bridges, winding through the forests, crossing, or rather fording, streams at the safest places. On October 20, 1836, he married Miss Lydia HARSHBARGER, a native of Virginia, who came to this County far back in its early history. Mr. Myers, like his father, was reared a farmer, which business he always followed. In 1852 he built the fine brick residence where he now lives, on the County road one mile west of Ladoga. He is now spending his declining years in his comfortable home, made by a life of honest toil. He has six children living: Saloma C., Elizabeth A., Daniel A., Amanda E., Mary L. and Susan A.. His father died in 1842, at the honored old age of seventy-seven years, after an industrious life of honest labor. His mother died in 1850. He has nineteen grandchildren, and is one of the representative men of Scott township. Portrait & Biographical Record of Montgomery, Parke & Fountain counties, Indiana. Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1893, pp 697-698 WILLIAM MYERS, one of the prominent and early agriculturists of Montgomery County, Ind., and now a well-known resident of Ladoga, is a native of Roanoke County, Va. In the early part of the present century this county was called Botetourt, and it was thus designated when, in 1816, our subject was born. The paternal grandfather of William Myers was a native of Germany, and made the long, wearisome, and often dangerous passage across the Atlantic in the slow sailing-vessels, almost the only mediums of transportation to America in those days. Landing safely upon the shores of the New World, it was not long before the sturdy German emigrant received employment and made for himself a comfortable and happy home among the colonists, who gladly welcomed all frugal, industrious, honest new-comers to their midst. Among the family which gathered in the home of this ancestor of our subject was his son John, who served as a teamster in the War of the Revolution. John was born in Pennsylvania, and his native State was the stage upon which occurred many of the most important events of our National history. Amid the stirring scenes of war and perilous adventure John Myers arrived at mature age and entered into matrimony with Miss Katherine Hants, also a native of the Quaker State, who became the mother of William Myers, our subject. After a time they journeyed with their family to the new State of Indiana, and located upon section 24, just west of Ladoga. The farm of one hundred and sixty acres was mainly unimproved, but yielded to its careful cultivation an excellent return. Our subject on reaching manhood was married in 1836 or 1837 to Miss Lydia Harshbarger, who came with her father, Jacob Harshbarger, to Montgomery County in 1831. This lady was one of a well-known family of eight children, and has herself become the mother of seven children, five of whom, three daughters and two sons, are yet living. Salome C. was married to John Graybill, and resides in the State of Kansas; Lizzie became the wife of Frank Franz, and died leaving two children, Winnie and Lou; Daniel is a resident of Clark Township; Amanda married M. C. Williams, and died leaving two children, Gertrude and Edwin; Mary is now the wife of James Gill, a resident of Butler County, Kan.; J. Franz lives in Montgomery County, Ind.; and Alice is the wife of William Baldwin, now living in Clark Township. J. Franz, the youngest son of our subject, received excellent educational advantages in the Asbury, now Depauw, University, located in Greencastle, Ind. He entered this institution of learning in 1870, and attended regularly three years, finishing the preparatory course and remaining through the freshman year. Returning home, he desired to establish himself in some profitable avocation in life, and as he had already acquired experience in agriculture engaged in 1875 in farming. He was prospered, and has already accumulated a valuable property, consisting of three hundred and twenty acres of fine land, highly improved and yearly increasing in estimated worth. In 1877, J. Franz Myers and Miss Sarah O'Neall were married and carried with them into their home the hearty and best wishes of a large circle of friends and relatives. Mrs. Myers is the daughter of Abijah O'Neall, an old resident of Mountsville County, where his children were reared. Mr. and Mrs. Myers are the parents of one child, their son Franz. The family are members of the Presbyterian Church, and are active in its benevolent, social and religious duties. They are all interested in the conduct of public affairs, and Mr. Myers, although not an active politician in the full significance of the term, is well posted in national and local affairs, and casts his vote with the Republican party. Crawfordsville Daily Journal Wed Feb 22, 1905 William Myers died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wildie Baldwin in Oklahoma Monday. The body will be brought here for burial. -- Jeffery G.

FAIRY VOICES Last night when fast the rain was falling, Me thought I heard the fairies calling, Yes, calling little seeds so brown That lie a-sleeping in the ground. With voices like the wind a-sighing, "Awake!" and again, "Awake!" I heard them crying; "You sleep too long. Awake," I say, "Tis time to rise and grow today." Seemed then I heard them softly humming, Tiny voices of the seeds a-coming, For they obey the fairy call And haste to answer, one and all. Such crowding, pushing, what a riot! That tiny humming never quiet, Till earth is clothed in carpet green, And all around the flowers are seen. When all the land in rain rejoices, Hear you, with me, those fairy voices? If not, then surely I must say, " 'Tis you that's deaf, not I, today." Alice Peffley Priest (Published in the Auditory Outlook, May 1930). Address (as of 1938); 606 W.

Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1893, pp441-442 SAMUEL D. STONER is one of the lights of the pulpit of the German Baptist Brethren Church in Montgomery County and he is also one of its prosperous farmers, his farm and residence being situated on Section 21, Clark Township. He was born at the place where he now lives July 24, 1856, and is a son of the well-known David Stoner, who settled here in pioneer times and became one of the wealthiest farmers in this vicinity. David Stoner was born May 25, 1806, in Maryland, and was a son of Jacob Stoner, who was also a native of that state, and he in turn was a son of David Stoner, who went from Pennsylvania to Maryland. The Stoners were of German origin. Jacob Stoner was reared in the state of his nativity, and there married Catherine Albaugh, who was likewise born in Maryland. Jacob Stoner settled in Botetourt County, Va., and passed the remainder of his life there, dying in February, 1834. His first wife died and he was a second time married November 2, 1820, Barbara Garst becoming his wife. Mr. Stoner was the father of seventeen children (eight by his first marriage), namely: David; Susanna, born March 21, 1808; Abraham, December 31, 1810; Jacob, October 23, 1812; William, September 28, 1814; John, October 29, 1816; Catherine, December 13, 1818; Daniel, October 18, 1820; Elizabeth, who was born December 19, 1821, and died October 9, 1843; Joel, born May 26, 1823; Barbara, October 7, 1824; Magdaline, February 26, 1826; Sarah, December 18, 1827; Hannah, December 3, 1829; Rebecca, October 28, 1831; Lydia, born December 26,1833, and Samuel, September 1, 1834. David Stoner's boyhood was passed in Botetourt County, Va., where he had the educational advantages afforded by an English school. In 1831 he came to this county and entered land on Sections 12 and 13, eighty acres on each section, and in 1837 he settled here permanently, locating on the Ruth place south of Ladoga, where he superintended the farm for his stepmother, living there until his marriage in 1841 to Ann, daughter of Jacob Deardorff. He then removed to his present place of residence, which he bought of Jesse Bath. The land had already been cleared, and by years of unremitting industry he has brought it into a fine condition and has it amply provided with buildings, including a large brick house in which he has a home replete with comfort. At one time he owned eleven hundred and forty acres of land, but he has divided the greater part of it among his children. Mrs. Stoner, who so faithfully shared with him the toils incidental to pioneer life and was of so much help to him in the upbuilding of their home, died October 14, 1878, and her mortal remains were placed in the Stoner Cemetery. They had six children, five of whom are living: Catherine, who was born February 23, 1852, and married W. H. Higgins; Caroline and Benjamin, who were born April 22, 1854, the former marrying R. B. Zimmerman and dying July 8, 1890, and the latter a resident of Boone; Christiana, who was born February 2, 1859, and married William Hicks, of Boone County; Solome who was born November 8, 1863, and is now a student at Mt. Morris College; and our subject. Samuel D. Stoner was reared on the old homestead, where he still lives, and was given excellent advantages, pursuing a course of study in the Normal at Ladoga, and afterward attending Ashland College in Ohio. After leaving college he was married September 30, 1884, to Miss Lina Norris, a daughter of Edward O. Norris. Her father was born in Harford County, Md., in 1813, and died in his native state in 1872. Mrs. Stoner was born in that state December 15, 1860, and her marriage was celebrated there. After the wedding Mr. Stoner brought his bride to the old homestead, where they have ever since lived. They are blessed with four children, namely: Mary Christina, who was born August 11, 1885; David L., November 30, 1886; Emma Rowena, June 27, 1889, and Edward Norris, December 1, 1891. Mr. Stoner has a farm of two hundred and twenty-seven acres of finely improved land, with a neat set of buildings and everything necessary to carry on agriculture. He is a stock farmer, and raises a good many sheep of the famous Southdown and Shropshire breeds. Mr. Stoner is one of the foremost members of' the German Baptist Church, belonging to the Raccoon Creek Congregation, of which he was elected minister October 2, 1890. He is gifted as a preacher and devotes himself heart and soul to the work, for which he seems so well fitted, of promulgating the doctrines of his beloved church. He is deeply interested in the Sunday-school and is Superintendent of the Mt. Pleasant Sunday-school. His wife also belongs to the same church and is an active worker in the ranks of the most zealous Christians within the fold. Politically, Mr. Stoner is a Prohibitionist and a strong advocate of temperance. -- Jeffery G.

David Stoner Montgomery County, Indiana Beckwith, H. W. History of Montgomery County, Indiana Chicago: HH Hill, 1881, p 460 David STONER, farmer, Ladoga, this highly esteemed and generous hearted citizen was born in Botetourt Co, Va, May 25, 1806. His early years were spent in farming and attending the old hilly country of his native state the district school. In 1831 he came to IN and entered land in Clark Twp. In 1851 he was marr. to Miss Ann DEARDORFF, a native of Preble Co, Ohio and and became the father of six children: Catharine, wife of William HIGGINS ; Benjamin, Caroline, Samuel, Christena, wife of William HICKS ; Saloma A. Mr. S's life is an example worthy of the following of many young men of our County: beginning life a poor boy, but full of energy and a stirring will, he constantly rose in the estimation of friends and in the accumulation of this world's goods. It was an invariable practice of his in his younger days to make one shoe every evening after his day's work was done. Thus his start in life was among hardships and industry, the fruit of which is 1,000 acres of fine farming land in this and in Boone Co. Mr. Stoner traces his ancestors ont he paternal side to the English, and those on the maternal side to the Germans. in 1837 he came with his stepmother to this township from Va, and has since remained a leading citizen. In an early day he erected a sawmill, which did good service in furnishing building materials to the pioneers. Oct. 14, 1878, Mrs. S. died with a cancer. As honest labor (in the slave state of Va) was considered dishonorable for a white man, Mr. S. sought a home in a free state early in life. -- Jeffery G.

PLACES NEAR THE MOUNTAIN E. Botetourt and Roanoke Co. VA By Helen R. Prillaman Pages 235-237 "GREENRIDGE" The Bushong Farm "Greenridge" is located on Old Peters Creek Road (Barns Road) and is generally known in the area as "The Bushong Place". It is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jared Green who purchased it in 1974 from Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Becker. The Beckers had bought the property from the Nininger family who were descendants of the Bushong family----a Bushong daughter, Bess, married Clyde Nininger, son of Nathan Nininger. The Beckers restored this home. Greenridge has an interesting history. It began with Henry Pefley (Peffley). He was born and reared in what is now known as Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. He and his brother David came to Botetourt County together and purchased adjoining farms from William McClanahan. Henry bought 100 acres from McClanahan and additional acreage from Leonard Houts and the Borndrager Estate. He married Susannah Borndrager, daughter of Andrew Borndrager, who owned a sizable farm near what is now Hollins College. Henry Pefley (Peffley) built his substantial brick house about 1832, soon after his marriage. It is said that the house was built of brick burned on the place which was in itself quite an art. The front of the house was red brick made of blue clay and the rear of the house was gray brick burned from red clay. Very unusual brick were used in the construction of the house. Some were "U" shaped for the cornices and other "V" shaped for corners. The kitchen was a separate building at the rear of the house. It is thought that the Pefley (Peffley) family members were buried on the farm since we are told there was a sizable cemetery in a wooded pasture where there were a number of unmarked graves. (See "The Peffley Brothers"). John M. Smith, Executor of Henry Pefley, deceased, conveyed the Henry Pefley property to David Deyerle by deed dated October 3, 1860 for $5,806.50, or $25.25 per acre. According to a survey made May 6, 1833 the property contained 258 acres, however, 29 acres had been sold to John Smith and the macadamized road took three acres. (Deed Book 11-Page 538-Botetourt County). Deyerle doubled the size of the house. The older part of the house had three rooms on the first floor and two on the second floor with a fireplace in each room. The staircase is boxed in. The fireplaces are arched and the mantels are simple. The floors upstairs are pine boards more than a foot wide. In the section added by Deyerle there is a lovely curved, paneled stairway. The house has old "Christian" doors, so called because of the cross design at their tops. In the basement of the older section there is a large fireplace where an old cooking crane with chains and hooks once were found. David Deyerle was a prominent and outstanding brick maker and contractor. He made the brick and erected the Main Building at Hollins College. He began on this building the day Virginia seceded from the Union and did not complete it until 1869. He also built the old Peters Creek Church of the Brethren and many other buildings and homes still standing in the Valley. David Deyerle died in 1898. An article appearing in the SALEM TIMES REGISTER October 14, 1898, told of Mr. Deyerle, one of the oldest, most prominent and wealthy citizens of Roanoke County, being killed by a vicious bull. The article went on to say that Deyerle, who resided on his splendid farm near Hollins, rode into his wheat field to drive out cattle which had gotten out of the pasture, when he was attacked by a dehorned bull. Although Deyerle was critically injured he managed to mount his horse and make it home. He died shortly after reaching there. David Deyerle left the Greenridge property to his son William. William went to Texas shortly thereafter. He deeded Greenridge to his sister Maggie and her husband, H. Clay Bushong. The deed, dated January 23, 1899, noted, "for and in consideration of one dollar in hand paid...and the further consideration of the care and kind attention given by the parties of the second part (H. C. Bushong and Maggie C. Bushong) to the support and welfare and comfort of David Deyerle, the father of William W. Deyerle, during the last years of him, the said party of the first part do grant with covenants of General Warranty unto said parties of the second part, to share and share alike, the following described land..." Greenridge remained in the Bushong family until 1971. A story has come down through the years about a prized possession of Mrs. David Deyerle. She valued highly a foot-high pewter Teapot given her by Mrs. Lucy Carvin, widow of Richard Carvin, son of William Carvin II. According to information available Mrs. Carvin was the last of this family to live in the Roanoke-Botetourt area. She died around the close of the Civil War. One of the most notorious lawsuits developed over the provisions of her will ever recorded in Roanoke County. Mrs. Carvin lived on land inherited by her husband from his father. He willed the property to her as long as she remained his widow. Known as "Carvin's Meadows" this land was later owned by Harvey Hall and at least part of it is still owned by the Hall Family (Brookside Golf Course). The Carvin house was diagonally across from the once lovely old home built by Nathan Nininger which still stands between Florist and Williamson Roads. The Nininger home and much of the land was owned for a number of years by Marshall L. Eggleston from Franklin County. The teapot, prized so highly by Mrs. Deyerle, was made on the order of a thermos bottle, the inner surface separated by a fraction of an inch from the outer covering. Mrs. Deyerle gave the teapot to her daughter, Mrs. Maggie C. Bushong, and it is hoped that it is still owned by the family. An interesting story has also come down through the years about a great old grandfather clock operated by weights and chains which stood in the Bushong home. According to the story, the Church of the Brethren held its Annual Meeting in the area where J. B. Fishburn was to later build his home. Mrs. Bushong started to the Meeting, driving a horse hitched to a two-seated surrey, when she overtook a lady walking in the direction of the meeting. She invited her to ride. As they became acquainted Mrs. Bushong learned that the lady and her husband were attending the Annual Meeting but the lady informed her that she had actually come to Roanoke for another purpose. She said that she had come to buy, if possible, a grandfather clock which was owned by someone living in a brick house about half way between Salem and Hollins, on the "Old Post Road". Two clocks, the lady had been told, had been sold in that neighborhood many years before by a peddlar from Hagerstown, Maryland. One had been inherited by her brother-in-law who lived in Indiana. She was hoping to buy the other one and had $100 to pay for it. The lady inquired of Mrs. Bushong as to whether she knew where the house was and if she knew the grandfather clock was still there. Mrs. Bushong replied that she did know where the house was and yes, the clock was still there but it belonged to her and she would not sell it. The Pefley, Deyerle and Bushong families had a great water supply from a cave spring located in a cliff across the road from the house. The entrance to the cave was walled up and entered through a wooden door. On entering a solid rock cavern extending about 20 feet into the hill was found. It was about seven feet high at the entrance and sloped down at the back. From the dark recesses in the back flowed a clear cold stream of water. The cave was a perfect refrigerator and milk, butter, etc. were kept there. The draft of air in the cave suggested underground caverns beyond. This brings to mind the story given by Mr. Alvin Cannaday, whose father Dr. A. A. Cannaday, owned the property where Woodrum Airport is now located. Mr. Cannaday talked about a hand-dug well on his father's property, which was dug through solid limestone. He remembered that paper could be dropped in this well and would soon reappear at the Bushong Spring, floating out in the stream of water coming into the spring. The cliff in which the cave spring was located has now been destroyed, or a least partially destroyed, in the airport runway extension taking place in the expansion program of the 1980's. A log house stood across the road from the main house at one time. In the early days this was used as a school house. This burned a number of years ago. There was once considerable woodland on the Pefley, Deyerle, Bushong property. An interesting story is told by older residents of the area. It seems that bears used the woods as they crossed The Barrens from one group of mountains to another. Greenridge has stood by the road as history in the making passed by. What great stories could be told if a house could talk." Henry Clay Bushong was the son of John W. Bushong and Jane Evans.

I am looking for any information on my Hardy and Stinson (Stimpson line--spelled several ways) in Botetourt County. Willam, Benjamin and George Hardy were in Loudoun County, Virginia in the 1760-1780's and they were originally from Charles and Prince George's County Maryland with Jeremiah Stimpson, a brother to Ann Stimpson who married William Hardy, Sr.who died in Prince George's County in MD. They above mentioned Hardy's and Stimpson's moved to Botetourt and were in the early 1780's tax lists. Any information would greatly be appreciated on the Hardy amd Stimpson, Stimson, Simpson lines. I believe the Stimpson line might have changed to Simpson after they left Loudoun County. Thank you, Marianne Dillow Illinois
