Pat, The information you send about John Harle was extremely useful! Thanks! Now, I have one more request.. See if you have any information about Baldwin Harle, an orphan who was supposedly taken in by a man named Raleigh ? Chunn.. Chunn was supposed to be a merchant who traveled to Southwest Va. and TN between 1765 and 1800.. Thanks for any thing you can find! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

No mention of a Baldwin Harle in the Apprentices, Bastards, etc. book. I have abstracted only the earliest Fairfax County Order books, before 1760. I do have information from the Order Books beginning in 1783, but none from 1756-1783. Fairfax Co. Order Books - abstract on index cards: 23 Mar 1791, p. 413 - Baldwin Harle a witness for Sampson Trammell 2 days. Paid one pound to travel from Washington County 100 miles. A John Harle appears on several of these abstracts from 1783-87, with him as Plaintiff in suits for debts. >From the Fairfax Co.
