Hello everyone, My great great grandfather James M. Andrews was born in Warren County circa 1824 according to a marriage record from Page County - parents Benjamin and Sarah Andrews. I would like to find his birth record, but am thinking that 1824 pre- dates the formation of Warren County and that perhaps the actual record for that time period would likely be in Shenandoah or perhaps Frederick. I do not know the name of the town or area in which he was born. I do know that in 1850 and 1860 he lived in the Naked Creek area of Page County. Does anyone have a recommendation about the best County to check for this birth record (if there is one)?
