Sheila, Your post is very interesting. My GGGrandfather's (James S. Asbury 1809-1880) first wife was Margaret Claypoole 1806-1836, daughter of Jeremiah and Mary, of Claypoole Hill. My GGGGrandfather (Henry Asbury 1760-1825) was married to Martha (Patty) Moore and his will was witnessed by Henry Cecil. Henry Asbury had a farm at the foot of Paint Lick Mountain which is near Claypoole Hill. James Asbury was born on that farm and was one of the children who inherited the farm. These children subsequently sold the farm to William Elswick. Does any of this sound familiar? Do you have any additional info on Jeremiah Claypoole such as other children? I have been trying to pinpoint the location of Henry Asbury's farm for the past three years. I spent two weeks in Tazewell County this year searching court house records and tromping around the foot of Paint Lick mountain trying to find where the farm was. Henry Asbury must of had a lot of respect for Henry Cecil. Where did Henry Cecil live? One of James Asbury's sons was named Henry Cecil Asbury . Henry Cecil Asbury 1837-1916 was my GGrandfather. He was married to Cynthia Angeline Bowling. My Grandmother was Barbara Belcher whose family was also related to the Beavers. It sounds like we have some common ancestors. I have my family back to the middle 1600s. I like to find physical evidence , graves, farms, etc. concerning my ancestors. I am in Tazewell County at least once every 2 years to attend the Asbury reunion in Tannersville. I have been researching in Tazewell County for 20 years and think I have been on every road and in most of the cemeteries. You might have info that I would be interested in. -- Ed Asbury, W3AEU - Bokeelia, FL - Caressed by the blue waters of Charlotte Harbor
