Hi All, I'd like to thank anyone who responded to my call for help on finding the early Fincastle records. I do realize that Fincastle was not formed until 1772, but old Litton Bible records indicated Fincastle, so I simply wanted to see if I could check through any documentation that might be available. I would also like to caution anyone doing genealogy research to be careful with info they find on WFT. This info is often faulty. I get the impression that any and all info can be put there whether it is verified or not. I would not consider any info legitimate that I could not prove through documentation or as in the case of no documentation, and as we all know, sometimes there isn't any, at least 3 other sources of verification i.e. Family Bibles, letters, etc. An example of this is that any number of history books say that one of my ancestors Solomon Litton was at the Battle of King's Mountain which took place in 1781. In fact, Solomon and his family were in British captivity in Canada from 1780-1783. (Capture of Ruddles Fort and Martin's Station, Kentucky) A letter written by Solomon Litton himself verifies this. Solomon Litton was a militiaman in the regiment from Washington Co, Virginia, where he had resided before his capture, as well as after. The Washington County Regiment fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain so it has often been incorrectly presumed that Solomon was there. My research indicates that John Richard Litton, Solomon's father, and Caleb Litton, Solomon's brother and my GGGgrandfather, did participate in this battle. I have visited Washington County Historical Society and Washington County Library in Abingdon, Virginia, as well as The King's Mountain Park and Museum in North Carolina to verifiy this info. The internet is a great tool to help you get info, but remember to make an effort to document info that you record. Regards, Caroline
