Hi, Maybe you can help me clear up a misunderstanding. I thought Pendleton was originally part of Hardy Co. which broke off from Augusta Co. Can you give me the real scoop with years the separation took place. I'm trying to locate an ancestor who was in Pendleton Co. in 1796 in the Upper Tract on the North Fork near Clay Lick. However, I'm fairly certain he was in that territory in the 1780's and would like to know which records to access for that time period.
