Do you think he moved to Ohio, at 16 years old, without his parents? They should be somewhere in Western Pa., or Ohio, rather than Virginia. Here's another "rough" estimate. If the family migrated to Ohio, they were from northern Loudoun. The southerners "generally" went to Kentucky first. Did your man end up in southern Ohio, just across the river from Kentucky? Have you found him in 1840 and/or 1850? Collect the names of 10-20 neighbors on either side of him from the census schedules, and look for them in Virginia.Who were his associates in Ohio? For whom did he serve as a witness and who witnessed his transactions? Ms. Marty Hiatt, CGRS "Document what you find, listen to what you are told, and especially, love and respect your work."
