Since the name of John Custer is being discussed I thought I would submit what I had on a John Custer also from Botetourt Co., VA around the same time frame. Parents of this John Custer Jr. were John Custer Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Whistler. Parents of John Custer Sr. were Isaac Custer and Rachel Copp. Father of Mary Elizabeth Whistler was Henry Whistler. Maybe this will help someone.

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.
