Hello: The subscribers on one of my Ontario lists have all been reposting their interests recently, and this time a new subscriber contacted me and said he also was researching my (and his) 4xgt-grandparents Mark CHASE and Anna THOMAS. I had reported to this list last week that all I knew of Anna's birth was that it was in 1776 in Virginia. My new distant cousin says he is taking up his mother's research since her recent death, and in her notes she says Anna was born in "Selkirk Settlement (Baldoon), Virginia" . [Punctuation hers.] He has no idea where she got this placename from, and neither of us gets any result when we try it in google.ca, although "Selkirk Settlement" by itself has a lot because of the Manitoba settlement of that name. There might be something in the US version of Google, but when I type in www.google.com, it just switches me back to .ca, which is quite frustrating. Was there a settlement called that in 18th century Virginia? And what about Baldoon -- is that a town? Possibly a misreading from microfilm of a county name in either (present-day) Virginia or West Virginia? Any suggestions would be helpful, and would be received with many thanks.
