There were some AILS/ALLS (?) who were early settlers in Mason/Lewis County area of Ky, around 1800. Don't know if this is of use. BISHOP: I have quite a bit of information about John BISHOP who came over from England around 1630s and founded a dynasty of BISHOPS. Many of his descendants came down the trails into Virginia, Ky, etc. VIERS/VIARS/VOIERS/etc. I am searching for any pre 1776 info on Robert VOIERS/VIERS who was born somewhere in Virginia 5/3/1757, enlisted in the Botetort Militia during the Revolution, then drifted west with the front line of pioneers through what is now WV into Ky. I have been searching for years for his family. I am fairly certain he is not Robert VIA. The birthdates differ by several years and there is a listing of a Robert VIA as a soldier in a different regiment. Sue Bishop
