My
grandparents came to Virginia not less a century ago, 1742, a young married couple and
settled near Philadelphia. Subsequently they moved Augusta County, Virginia, prior to the
Revolutionary War, for my fathers eldest brother was at the siege of York. I should
judge from the lands that my grandfather and his sons possess, he was a man of wealth.
They were
among good farms of Augusta County. The brothers would probably have done better to have
remained upon them, but that Eldrodado of the west, Kentucky. Provided a scene too
tempting for enterprising men to resist, and they followed the tide of mirgration, caring
with them my aged grandparents, whose ones reprose in Bourdon County, 9 miles east of
Col. James
stood once a candidate for the general assembly of Virginia. He was an officer in an
expeditation from that county to Tyrgarts valley; was esteamed an enterprising man.
Several of his children lie buried in one of the old church yards of that county. After
his removal ( this line did not print off ) Harmans unfortunate expedition across
the Ohio. ( See acct. of Gen. Harrarts expedition, 1790, in the Western Review,
