This is probably just a coincidence, but I will bring it up...(leave no stone unturned). My 4th great grandfather of Nelson County, KY was a son of Jacob Close of NC>VA>KY and Joanna Farrow/Farrar of VA>KY. In my search to find CLOSE and FARROW information, I found: http://www.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/ifa_image.cgi?IN=003376&PN=159&SEC=Register%20of%20Virginians%20in%20the%20Revolution&CD=121 Military Records: Virginia in the Revolution and War of 1812 Register of Virginians in the Revolution, Alphabetical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, Page 159 VIRGINIANS IN THE REVOLUTION Page 159 CLOSE, Adam, 6 CL, E.

In my search for CLOSE and FARROW information, I also came across a CURLE-FARROW-CLOSE family in Fredericksburgh, Ontario, Canada and was curious as to if they had a connection to the Virginia families.
