Thanks Victor for this data. I have a record of the Venables who were trustees of Hampton Sidney College. My Rachel married Andrew McCormick/mack in 1805 in Middletown, VA. I believe that the McCormicks were a Scots/Irish Presbyterian family. Evidently some of the Venable family removed to Frederick Co., VA.
