Helen (and other Botetourt researchers), Fincastle Co., VA was formed from Botetourt Co. in 1772 and abolished in 1777. Records from Fincastle were transferred to Montgomery Co., VA. There are some wonderful historical maps prepared by the late John R. Hildebrand available for $6 from the Roanoke Valley Historical Society (I've seen these maps for sale in other locations as well). County maps available are: Augusta, Bedford, Botetourt, Fincastle (this map is only $3.50), Franklin, Montgomery, Rockbridge, Roanoke and Wythe. These maps are on the average about 30" X 25". You can call the Roanoke H.S. at 540-342-5770, and they will transfer you over to their Museum store to place orders. I have most of these maps and have shrink-wrapped them and placed red markers on my ancestors property. They don't list all property owners, but I've been lucky to have many of mine listed on these maps. Hope this helps! Leigh Blount
