Thanks for the links and history Deb! I found my records in the 2nd Peaked Mountain Church, (103) Charles Fey and Dorothy and (220) John Fey and Susanna. If I understand them right, this church was at Stony Creek at the "Bicket Maundy" Augusta Co, VA. The church was dedicated Oct 31, 1769. Is that area close to the Boone's Run area and now in Rockingham Co? I also have a record from the Augusta Co Court Will Book no 2, pg 57 pg 358. 8th February, 1759 Vendue of John Wingord's (Vinegard) estate -- To Henry Colar,....Charles Ty (Fy?) What would that be? Did they buy his land? Thanks to everyone for the help, Sandy

Sandy, Hopefully I'm not leading you down the wrong path. If my info is incorrect I trust one of the wonderful people more knowledgeable than I to correct the error of my ways. "Bicket Maundy" was translated and meant "Peaked Mountain". Record #103 for "Charles Fey and Dorothy" listed them as the baptism sponsors for John Michael, son of Lewis [Ludwig] and Elisabeth Reinhardt. Record #220 is the birth and baptism of Abraham, son of John and Susanna Fey (Fye?). Abraham born Oct. 29, 1792, and baptized June 23, 1793. The area was under the boundaries of Augusta County until Rockingham county was carved from it in 1778. Thus, its referred to as "Augusta county" on the 1769 record but was then within Rockingham county borders as of 1778. My interpretation of "Vendue" basically means "sale" or "public auction". This is/was basically an estate sale/auction or "Vendue" for the sale of personal property, ie, horses, wagons, beds, furniture, farm tools, implements, etc. In looking at the abstract of this item from Chalkley's Chronicles, its just my opinion, but it appears Chalkley listed those persons who bought personal property items but not real estate (land). It might be beneficial to get a record of the entire document in order to fill in the blanks of the abstract. You might get lucky and get a list of who bought what and what they paid for it. My 5 Great Grandfather, Adam Sellers (1742 - 1821), moved from R'ham county to Warren county, Ohio, in 1817 and died intestate in April 1821. His personal property and effects were sold via "Vendue" at public auction while the 206 acres of real estate were handled separately by his "heirs-at-law" and court appointed administrators. The personal property and effects of my 3 Great Grandfather, John Sellers, were handled the same way, ie., at "Vendue", when he died intestate on Jan. 19, 1872, in Augusta county. The administrator and heirs-at-law then handled the remaining real estate separately. It appears this is the same type of situation with the estate of John Wingord (Vinegard) in that those people listed, including Charles Ty (Fy?), were buying personal property items at public auction but not real estate. Hope that helps.
