Where was Cumberland Gap, VA in 1770? Elijah Jenkins/Jinkins/Ginkins was born there. thanks, Patti

Good morning, Vashenan Listmates, Little did I know that one little article is an old newspaper would lead to so many questions yet unanswered. The Shenandoah Valley Herald Wednesday, 15 March 1882 Page 2, Column 4 On March 8th, William Bailey sold a house and lot, about a mile east of Valley Forge, in this county, to Franklin Bushong for $100. The house and lot William Bailey sold to Franklin "Frank" Bushong seems to be a mystery at this point in time. We found William Bailey and his family in the census records thinking it would put things in perspective, as to his residence and this house and lot, but according to all the censuses, William Bailey didn't own the property he lived on. So that means it must have been an inherited piece from his family or one of his wives. His father was Jesse Bailey and his mother was Christina Bowen. We think he sold the piece of property to get enough money to go to Greene County, Ohio where some of his children had gone. We are waiting for someone to retrieve the 1882 Deed from the courthouse at Woodstock to see the wording on the Deed. The Deed should tell us exactly where the property is located, then we can, from that, establish the location of the Valley forge since it is about 1 mile east of the property. The family seem to be Brethren. ----------------------- William Bailey married twice: M/1: 30 April 1841, Page County, VA to Rebecca Jane Long.

1815 Directory of Virginia Landowners (and Gazetteer), Volume 4, Northern Region, abstracted by Robert G. Ward has two James Allens in Shenandoah County. One is listed as a sadler and lives in Woodstock. The other lives North River, 15 miles south of the courthouse. I'm assuming that the River is the Shenandoah, but the 15 miles south of the courthouse at least gives a vicinity for his place.

Gloria, Could this be Your"Valley Forge " Could this be the forge before Pine? Did Bushong get it with foundry on it? Shenandoah Co Deed Book 2 page132-- 4 Apr 1854 Deed of Trust Abstracted -- Jos P Pennybacker and Elizabeth wife to M. Bird ...A tract together with chopping Mill..Saw Mill and Foundry on West side Valley Turn Pike and adjoining Town of Mt Jackson and same from Henry Bushong on West side said road and all water rights belonging to said mill and all patterns belonging to said foundry to secure to Sigler and Billings &c

There is a Shenandoah Co Deed mentioning Valley Forge. It is a Forge not a town or area. Deed book V V p. 123--6 June 1845 Deed of Trust [ABSTRACTED] Andrew J. Hupp & Elizabeth his wife, Jos Ludwick, Jacob Lantz.. All Hupp's & wife interest to Real Estate of Windle Coffman, Dec'd said Elizabeth being a daughter and Heir and her interest being one undivided forth, Also a out lot known as the tanyard now in possession of Richard A. Clark and late property of William Hottel on Stony Creek near VALLEY FORGE.. Also another lot on North side of Stony Creek near Valley Forge and now in possession occupancy of A J Faidley and being same was conveyed to Faidley by Daniel Faidley Jr dec'd plus personal property... Location.. Using 1885 L:akes Atlas for Shenandoah Co Madison District... West out of Edinburg VA on Stony Creek road past Lantz Mill to Columbia Liberty Iron Co. Under this name there is OLD FORGE. This is the place of Valley Forge.

Linda, For some reason, I cannot view the original record. But the index states that there is an Abraham Shatz involved. Without viewing the original record I can't be sure, but think this is Abraham Sheetz not Shatz. Meems Bottom is just south of Mt. Jackson. Is anyone else able to view the Chancery Record? I am trying to determine if it is a site problem or a computer issue on my part. Thanks, Gloria

Don't doubt it, but the location I gave was still Valley Forge, A, in 1858. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Chochoruss@aol.com> To: <vashenan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2010 7:10 PM Subject: Re: [VASHENAN] Where is Valley Forge in Shenandoah County? > Thanks Tom, but I'm pretty sure that I have the correct location for the > forge I was referring to.

Linda, The 1815 Landowners Directory states he has land 15 mi S on North River. That puts him very near Meem's Bottom.

Thanks Tom, but I'm pretty sure that I have the correct location for the forge I was referring to. I talked to Philip Crown who did extensive work on the area on the west side of the Shenandoah River near the New Market Battlefield and he confirmed that I was correct in my assumption. If I am wrong, I will certainly correct it on the List in the future. What I need to do is find the 1882 Deed and see what description they give for the house and lot that Frank Bushong bought from William Bailey. Gloria

In the Chancery Records there was a James Allen involved in suit for I believe 1816. But either the site is having maintenance or I am having trouble with my computer as I could not open the 8 pages involved. Gloria

I have no source after 1858, but I assume it must be the same. Valley Forge, A, was located on Stony Creek, 8 miles SW of Woodstock, 1 mile below Columbia Furnace.. I should guess it is the old forge located between Columbia Liberty Iron Co. and L. Fadley in the Madison District map of the 1885 Atlas, shown here http://www.vagenweb.org/shenandoah/mapmadison1.html Tom Pierce ----- Original Message ----- From: <Chochoruss@aol.com> To: <vashenan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2010 10:40 AM Subject: [VASHENAN] Where is Valley Forge in Shenandoah County? > Good Morning Vashenan Listmates, We found the following article in the The > Shenandoah Valley Herald for 1882 and was wondering where Valley Forge is > located in Shenandoah County? > > The Shenandoah Valley Herald > Wednesday, 15 March 1882 > Page 2, Column 4 > > On March 8th, William Bailey sold a house and lot, about a mile east of > Valley Forge, in this county, to Franklin Bushong for $100. > ------------------------ > Thanks, Gloria Bushong > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > VASHENAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

I'm taking a wild guess here and thinking around Mt. Jackson area. Gloria

That's the exact chancery record I'm working from, trying to find the location of the land that my ancestor leased. Thanks for your input.
