I'm trying to track my Straley ancestors and it's been passed down through the family that when my Jacob Straley arrived in America in 1750, he went up the James River to near Lynchburg to settle because his sister already was there and was married to a Lynch. My Jacob purchased land from his brother-in-law Lynch, raised his family there and lived there the remainder of his life. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
