Montgomery County was formed from Fincastle County in 1776, and parts of Botetourt and Pulaski Counties were added later. Washington County formed from Fincastle County in 1776, and a part of Montgomery County was added later. Kentucky County was created from Fincastle Co 1776. Kentucky County became extinct in November 1780 when it was divided into Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln Counties.

I do know Fincastle was split into Fayette, Lincoln and efferson counties before 1792. I am caught in a time warp on one of my lines nd not sure where to look for records. Unfortunately Fincastle Co., Va isn't on his list. I am stumped. LOL !!

I need to see the tax record for Francis Courtney. e died in 1789. Kathleen ubject: Re: [VAFAUQUI] land records, maps- PS Hello... I read the Fauquier Co Va, tax records for the latter part of the 1700';s. I bless the fellow who did the tax records. He named the Father, then in another column he named the sons that the father was paying taxes for. I assume that the assessor most likely assessed the neighborhood at the same time as this would save time so that may be one way to check the neighbors. Jan In a message dated 7/8/2010 3:08:40 P.M.
