You will find links to early Washington Co. history: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vawashin/ Washington Co was formed 1777. The first settlers arrived in the area in the 1760s. The county lines were redrawn several times. A county would start as a large area, and as more people came, it would be split and split again, for governmental/tax purposes. During this early time in history, state lines were moved also. For example, the state of Kentucky was formed from Kentucky County, Virginia.

Va. My family (Wheeler) was suppose to be from Wheeler's Ford (Wheelersford) Va. Washington Co. It was mentioned as Russell Co.,Wise Co.,St. Paul.,Washinton Co. I looked at historical maps and googled and can not find Wheeler'ford. In Wickipedi it states in 1768 There was an Indian treaty for this land and it was called Va. In 1790 the first family came from Norh Carolinia and it became Wilks Co.and now Flat Gap. Then in 1856 Wise formed Lee, Russell,Scott. Now St. Paul. I have never been there and quite confused. When was Washinton Co. formed? How could people be there in 1811(When my family is supposed to be born? How do you find family information from Washinton Co. and how do you use a map to find possibly Wheelersford in the 1800's?

The 1920 Russell Co. census, Copper Creek district, shows John Salyer 55, Garfield 15 son, Charlie 10 son. Based on the age of John I suspect he was not the father of Garfield and Charlie.
