MCNAIR, PATTON posted by Chris Allen on Wednesday, November 6, 1996

I am looking for any information on Daniel MCNAIR who settled in Augusta County between 1738 and 1742, probably on Burden's (Borden's) Grant. Later purchased land from James PATTON on the Woods River. Daniel MCNAIR served in the Augusta Militia, and may have been a miller. I also seek information on his eldest son David MCNAIR and second son James MCNAIR (who was Rev War veteran). These people appear all over the Chalkley Abstracts as land owners, etc. but are not mentioned in county histories. Were they bad or just unpopular? Also seek information on how to access pre-1800 Augusta County records. Does anyone know if these are availabel for review. I work in Washington, D.C. and am happy to help anyone with research at the DAR or National Archives. Thanks very much, Chris Allen

CHOATE, GIST, HOLLIS posted by Shirley Hollis Rice on Thursday, November 28, 1996

James HOLLIS bought land in 1753 from the Loyal Land Company on Catawba Creek in old Augusta. During the F/I Wars they removed over the moutains to Bedford County where his son James II was born in 1759. In 1761, they left Augusta County and settled in what is now Whythe County before relocating to what is now TN in 1774. There had been a George and a John HOLLIS is the Augusta area at the same time. Where did 1st HOLLIS family came from? The HOLLIS, CHOATE and GIST families seem to have long connections and ultimately lines of all three of these families ended up in Wayne and Lawrence County, TN, and intermarried along the way. The Maryland HOLLIS family had connections with CHOATE and GIST which leads one to wonder if James I came from MD. There was also a HOLLIS famiy in Fairfax County, VA, and they had a James. He ended up in SC, so they don't seem to fit. Help or hints are appreciated. I have a good deal on James II and his descendents. Will help others in our line if I can. Ciao!
