VA about the time period you think you Farmer removed from Frederick Co. VA. Given in my book about Frederick Co. VA Land Deeds 11-20 in 7 Sep 1779 a Bryan Bruin sold land to a Wm. FARMER of Lancaster Co. PA. That property lying on Thompson's Creek, Frederick Co. VA. So PA might be the direction your Farmer came from into VA. That's the same location my Jacob Sowers came into VA, but it will be years before I start to do detailed work with PA records. Good luck with your research.
