I need help in finding out any info on this 4th great grandfather, Robert Douglass. He lived in Augusta Co. VA before 1758 when my 3rd great grandfather was born. He was living in Bedford Co. VA in 1777 when my 3rd great gf volunteered for the Revolutionary War. Then he was living in Campbell Co, prob. from the time it was organized (1781) until his death. I did get 2 transcriptions of his will, and both were different. He had names of his children as: James, Joshua, Elizabeth, Jency (Jane), Betsy, Mary, Robert II, & Nancy.. Robert's money & land was not divided until James' death, which I believe was 1836. (That date was when my Robert II got some money from probate. Any help would really be appreciated. I don't have any land, probate, etc. on this family.

Looking for a copy of a marriage announcement for Aug 19 1799 Campbell Co VA Bedford area for David Hole and Anna Howell. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated such as who were her parents. Also needing a copy of a marriage bond or consent Reel 44 H-K 1782-1853 and a copy of the actual marriage record Reel 36 1782-1853 Marriage Register #1.

My info has Joseph and Nancy marrying later than 1804 as I have Nancy's parents George St John and Nancy Page Bryan marrying in 1793. I am not 100% certain that my info is correct however since there are conflicting accounts in this area and more than one set of Harris' St John marriages. I know my Zephaniah had a son by the same name and there appearsto be a cousin Zephaniah out there as well in Charlotte county.

Thompson on the New London Museum website www.newlondonmuseum.org page28: Samuel Clemens and Pamela Goggin were married in Bedford County on Oct 23,1797. They lived in Campbell County. Their first child was John Marshall Clemens, the father of Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens evidently came to Campbell from Surry County on the lower James River. Surry County records show the will of John Clemens, May 2, 1710 whose wife was Mary and children Samuel, John and Anne. Will mentions a brother William. William's will mentions wife Ales (Alice?) and their five children:Lucy, Elizabeth, Samuel, William and Henry. I hope that this may be of some help. Mike Beard

I am anxious to hear what you learn from your Grandmother. I am almost sure my Clemens/Clements/Clemons ancestors came from VA to TN then KY and MO. My relatives also claim a distant relationship to the legendary Mark Twain. I must admit that it would be wonderful to find proof of that ancestry, but mostly I would just like to know how my John Charles Clemens b 1850? came into this world. He first appears in historical records as a "apprentice" of a Garner Parmley in Wayne County KY 1860. The Virginia Clemens connection comes from the 1920 census records showing John Charles Clemens father born VA mother born in KY. thanks again for your offer to help Barbara

There's a website of old maps at http://www.tngenweb.org/maps/index.html but somewhere there is a migration pattern, I can't find it in my black hole.....

As a genealogist and historian, I really love studying the westward migration of Americans. My Hobson ancestors, though not of Campbell Co., are a typical example of the early American migrant. My Hobsons, who were Quaker, migrated from Chester Co., PA to Frederick Co., VA, where they lived for a few years as farmers. Then they moved on with other Quaker settlers to Orange Co., NC. After a generation there, they decided to move westward. They went on a route followed by many Quaker families -- over the mountains near Fancy Gap, travelling on the Kanawha Trace down the New River to the Kanawha River and finally to the Ohio River. They finally settled in Wilmington, OH, where my 6th great-grandfather built the first house there. Only one of his children moved South from there -- my 5th great-grandfather, Samuel Hobson, who came to AL in about 1837. You are right -- these families generally moved in groups. I see it even in my AL ancestors, who moved from NC to Bibb Co., AL, and then to Jefferson Co., AL. You see the same names over and over -- in my case, Tingle, Crews, Greathouse, Caddell, Hobson, etc. The migrations make very interesting study.

Thought this is might help to understand the movement and connections of some of the early families you are talking about. Sarah and others, In the colonial period what is now Route 11 in Virginia was known as the Great Wagon Road. This road served to move people from the colony of Pennsylvania down into Maryland, Virginia and into western North Carolina and what is now eastern Tennessee. It is possible that many of the people in Augusta and the other valley counties were from Pennsylvania or at least entered there. You should also keep in mind that Augusta was one of the two original counties west of the Blue Ridge. Frederick was formed in 1743 and Augusta in 1744. (note at this time what is now Campbell was part of Lunenburg Co) Both Frederick and Augusta covered far more area than they have today. I am not sure of the exact date on this but during the 1700s prior to the French and Indian war the government of Virginia offered people settling on the frontier ( think line where 29 now is including what is now Campbell) the right to worship in their own church instead of the Church of England and no taxes for ten years. These people were to serve as buffer from the Indians for the more developed areas. Finally people have started over the years to do studies of migration to the western area. When you look at these you find that people travel not alone but in groups. The groups are often made up of relatives and sometimes you will see the same families move several times together. They also seem to be in better contact than we would believe. I have a family in my own line where one brother goes to New Jersey and one to Virginia- 2 generations later parts of both families are in Fountain County Indiana. And you do have men going back where they were from to marry. This is more true in the families who tend to marry their cousins. Hope this might help someone with their research, Marilyn PS the Campbell people I am researching are my husbands and some of them never left. I have the families that moved.

My great great grandfather Hugh Reveley married Elizabeth Galbraith, the granddaughter of Alexander Galbraith, back in Tennessee. My Joseph Reveley moved on to Tennessee after the American Revolution, rather than heading to Campbell County with his brother George Reveley. In going thru my Campbell County folders I just found that this same Alexander Galbraith moved to Campbell County by 1792, was on the tax list, and died there in 1793. One of his daughters, Margaret Galbraith, married Andrew Fields and lived very near the Reveleys on Falling River and Reedy Creek. Their daughter married Major Benjamin Hunter. I don't know if these Reveleys knew of the connection between the Galbraiths and the Reveley cousins in Tennessee. These early settlers were originally a part of the Hunter Settlement in Pennsylvania. I was told a family story that the Fields & Galbraiths were run out of Pennsylvania by the Indians. They were told by a friendly Indian that the stockade would be burned that night. They fled southward, and as they crossed the top of the ridge they looked back and saw the stockade in flames. At that time the British were inciting the Indians to attack the settlers all along the frontier as part of their Revolutionary War strategy. They are buried in the Hunter Family Cemetery. Wow my great great great great grandparents are buried there and I almost missed them! Small world. Are there any others out there? I believe they may be in the section that is now Appomattox County. Thanks, Sarah Reveley San Antonio
