To all, There is a great article in the Giles County Virginia History and Families Book Vol 1 on Daniel Shumate. It said he and his wife Millie left Fauquier County and settled in Rich Creek VA in 1780( which was Greenbrier Co.and now Giles Co.,VA). I believe the Shumate (Shoemate) were the first family to settle in Rich Creek and received a Land Grant of 300 acres of land. He acquiered over a thousand acres of land and owned 7 slaves at his death. He is buried in Sunrise Memorial Gardern at Rich Creek VA. Several families in Giles Co.,VA orginally came from Fauquier Co. VA., including a few that I'm researching. Lois

Daniel Shumate (1734-1806) after the death of his wife Tabitha Dodson married the widow of Peter Cornwell (d ca 1776), Sarah Ann Bowlin/Bowling NOT Sarah Ann James. The son of Daniel and Tabitha, Daniel Shumate (1751-1826), married Millicent Callison.
