MILLER posted by gary l parker on Monday, May 3, 1999

Looking for any information of parents of Isaac Miller born about 1845. Isaac is on the 1860 census for Augusta county, age 15, mother Martha Miller age 51, brothers Noah age 27 and Joseph age 17. Think Noah inherited the farm and I know Isaac went to Ohio because he was my great grandfather. Trying to find his father and any further information on his mother. My grandfather, Charles Archie Miller visited the family farm in Augusta County befoe he died but no one in the family was into genealogy research at the time and as is typical,no one took any notes. Incidently, Isaac was a handsome fellow because I have a picture of him and my grandfather looked just like him!!!

CARSON posted by Rick Carson on Sunday, May 9, 1999

The Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlements in Virginia by Chalkley identify several Carsons in Augusta County. The 1787 Reconstructed Census of Virginia by Yantis identified two Carson families: James Carson and Thomas Carsen. I found no marriages in Wulfeck's Virginia Marriages. The number of Carsons seemed to have dimished in Augusta around 1800. Did they migrate to the Carolinas and to Tennessee and Kentucky?

ARMSTRONG, BEATTY, DAVIS, DAVISON, MORRISON, WILSON, WOOD posted by Jerrie Morrison Howard on Sunday, May 9, 1999

Searching for information on David Davis in Augusta Co., VA. He was granted land in 1742. Where did he live before moving to Augusta Co., VA? In the Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Vol. 1, Feb. 12, 1745, "David Davis to show cause against paying William Morrison freedom dues". Also "William Morrison to have his freedom dues paid out of the attached estate of David Davis". Does anyone know why David Davis would be paying freedom dues to William Morrison??? William was the son of Thomas Morrison, d. 1748, Lancaster Co., PA. I would greatly appreciate any information.

FARRELL, FERRELL posted by G. Hunter Ferrell on Saturday, May 22, 1999

Seeking information on William Farrell, orphan of John Farrell. In the Augusta County Order Book #VI, March 21, 1759, it is ordered that William Farrell be bound out along with Barbara Farrell. I found this information in the book "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia". I am a descendant of a William Ferrell, b. abt. 1755, location unknown. William first appears in 1779 on a Dobbs Co, NC, tax list and later in Wayne Co, NC which was formed from Dobbs. He was apparently very close to the Watson family there, as he was deeded land from Isom Watson and witnessed several deeds among other Watson family members. He married Delila and their children were: John, Henry, Noel, Polly, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Rebecca. If anyone has information about John or William, please contact me. Thank you.

Does anyone out there have the parents of Mary and Margaret Hamilton? Thanks
