Adam Cunningham apparently came in 1740 according to a deposition he gave on 27 November 1770. He said he was 57 years old and that he "came to this Colony about 30 years ago and that Joshua Job was at that time settled on the plantation whereon he now lives." In 1765 Adam Cunningham purchased 197 acres in present-day Page County, south of Overall which contained a water grist mill that became known as Cunningham's Mill. Adam Cunningham received a Fairfax grant for 133 acres in 1768 adjacent to a corner of Paget's tract. This land was about one mile east of Bentonville near where Abraham Keller and Ephraim Leith lived. Adam and Catherine Cunningham sold a portion of a tract in 1769 to John Nelson and Alexander Woodrow, among others. In December 1749 Walter Cunningham was born. A Walter Cunningham received a grant for 273 acres in 1779. There is an another older Walter, but the relationship is unknown. A Walter Cunningham died in 1781, and Adam and Ann Cunningham were made administrators of his estate. Securities were Edwin Young and Abram McKay. Josiah Leith, Ephraim Leith, William Thomas and Abram McKay were appointed to appraise the estate. The Walter Cunningham born in 1749 applied for a Revolutionary War pension in 1832 in Harrison County, VA. He said that in the summer of 1776 he was residing in Shenandoah County but in 1776 he went to Monongalia County and enlisted in the company of Capt. David Scott; employed in reconnoitering in the country between the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers against the Indians. Served 3 months and then returned to Shenandoah County. In the fall of 1777 he enlisted under Capt Michael Rader, marched to Fort Pitt and was attached to a regiment commanded by General Hand. Went to Wheeling where he was discharged after 3 months. Names a brother Adam Cunningham. He said he moved from Shenandoah to Harrison County where he has lived for several years.
In 1742/3 Adam signed a road petition in Orange County. By March 1746/7, a road was ordered from Caleb Jones' [Caleb Job] Mill down to the county line. Adam's name appears in
the Augusta County court order along with James McKay, Moses McKay, Thomas Grubbs, Zachery McKay, William Hursh [or Hurst], Joshua Job, Ephrm Leech [Ephriam Leith] and Caleb
Job. The road was built, but proved unsuitable, so another road petition was filed in Augusta County on May 22, 1751. It was noted that "about 3 years ago it was ordered to open a road from Caleb Job's plantation down the South side of the said North River to James McCoy's plantation." The new petition asked that the road to James McKay's plantation be replaced by a more suitable one, crossing the river at Brush Bottom Ford and running along the river by Henry Spear's plantation. [Note: the surnames McCoy and McKay seem to be used interchangeably in many court records.] Again, Adam Cunningham was among those who signed the petition. The road was approved the following year. Henry Spears, Josias Parent, Adam Cunningham, and others were asked to keep it in repair. In 1752 Adam Cunningham and James McCoy were assignees of William Hurst of Augusta County, receiving 216 acres on Flint Run, adjoining Alexander Mathews and Thomas Norman. This land later became part of Shenandoah County and was granted to James McCoy and Adam Cunningham on April 3, 1765. A land warrant was issued to William Safer in 1754 for 255 acres adjoining Alexander Matthews and Ephraim Leith and included a place called Lick Hollow. Adam Cunningham claimed an older entry for the same land and had the land surveyed in October 1756 by George Hume (Tract P-16 Map 12). The land at Lick Hollow was granted to Adam in 1771.
Adam, his brother Walter, and Adam's son's Edward and John were all members of the colonial militia. Frederick County court martial records for Henry Spear's Company show that
Adam was fined 30 shillings in October 1758 for missing 1 general and 2 private musters; Adam and Walter were both fined 50 shillings in November 1760 for missing 1 general and
4 private musters.
On the 21st day of August in the year 1832 personally appeared in open court before the justices of said county of Harrison in court now sitting, Walter Cunningham, a resident of Simpson Creek, Harrison County, aged 83 years who being first duly sworn according to the law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. In the year 1776 he resided in the County of Shenandoah, State of Virginia, that in the summer of the year aforesaid year he visited the County of Monongahela in said state. That when there he enlisted in a company of Rangers under the command of Capt. David Scott. That he was employed in reconnoiting the country between the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers. That while thus engaged, the company was frequently successful in discovering the approach of Indians and in conveying intelligence to the forts and settlements, so as to apprise and guard them against danger. That he was discharged at the termination of three months. The discharge is herewith enclosed. In the fall of 1777 after having returned home to Shenandoah, he enlisted under Capt. Michael Radar, marched to Fort Pitt, was attached to a regiment command by General Hand. From thus, he descended the Ohio river to Wheeling where he was discharged after having served three months. He was never directly engaged in any battle during his continuance in said service.
Dodson/Dotson FamiliesThere were two different branches of the Dodson/Dotson family who settled in the Shenandoah Valley in the mid 1700's. DNA has shown that these two lines were not connected.
1) John Dodson migrated from North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia to now Shenandoah County before 1756. He owned land west of the Massanutten mountain range and west of Edinburgh and Mt. Jackson, near Conicville. John died with a will in Shenandoah County Virginia in 1784, and his son Peter inherited his land. Three of John's sons Peter, Moses and Charles lived to maturity. Both Moses and Charles were bound out in Richmond County by the church wardens of the North Farnham Parish in 1737 at ages of 11 and 8. Both are showing on a 1753 delinquent tax list for Augusta County, having left the county. It appears that Charles migrated to where his father lived, but later moved with his children as early settlers in Greene County Tennessee. Charles died in 1797 and Peter in 1800, but Moses' whereabouts have not been traced. Some descendants of this family continued to live in Shenandoah County, while others migrated to other areas. Information about this family is recorded in The Dodson (Dotson) Family of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia: A History and Genealogy of their Descendants, Volume One and Two by Mrs. Sherman Williams, Compiler and Editor and The Rev Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Publisher, Southern Historical Press, Inc. Easley SC, 1988. Read More about this John Dodson Family
2) Thomas Dodson, appears to have migrated from Chester County PA around 1749 and lived east of the Massanutten mountain range in the South Fork section of the Shenandoah Valley. He live at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains in what became Warren/Page counties, south of Front Royal near Overall and Rileyville, Virginia. At the same time, the Richmond County Dodsons owned land west of the Blue Ridge mountains west of the present town of Mt. Jackson County Virginia. When both lines of Dodsons settled there, Frederick County encompassed all of these areas. Front Royal, the county seat of now Warren County, was settled in the 1730's. As early as 1749, we find Thomas Dottson in the area south of Front Royal buying an item at an estate sale, along with a Barbara Job. In 1755 a William Dodson enlisted from Frederick County in the French and Indian War. In 1768 Thomas Dodson sold land to Moses Moody, and in 1776 Thomas Dodson sold land to Ephraim Leeth who had married Barbara Job, widow of Caleb Job. Thomas Dotson is listed on rent rolls of Dunmore County in 1775. In 1785, Abraham Keller collected taxes near Front Royal, and on his listing are Thomas and Thomas Jr. Dodson along with Ephraim Leeth Jr and Job families. There were two Dodson/Dotson Revolutionary War soldiers born in what was then Frederick County - Richard Dotson in 1752 and William Dodson in 1758. Since neither was from the Richmond County line, it is assumed they must have been connected to the second line of Dodson/Dotsons. Both men returned to Shenandoah County after the war, but their parents' names are unknown. DNA from descendants of Richard Dotson have shown that he was not from the Richmond County Virginia line, and DNA from his descendants matches with the Dodsons of Chester County Pennsylvania.
The Massanutten mountain range that separated the two Dodson lines, also separated the Shenandoah river into a north and a south fork which meet near Front Royal, in present day Warren County, Virginia. The South Fork flows north on the east of Massanutten mountain range, and the North Fork flows north on the west of the mountain.Descendants of Barnabas Egan

.. +Rachel McDowell b: Abt. 1722 in Northern Ireland d: 30 Nov 1780 in Beckford Parish, Shenandoah County, VA m: Abt. 1750
1753 March 23 Barnaby Agan, qualified Ensign of Foot. In 1770 Barnaby Eagan stated in a deposition that he had lived on the south side of the South River near 30 years. He was listed with 200 acres in 1735/36 on the Hite, McKay, Duff and Green 7,000 acres South River Tract. The land had been given to Egan for "faithfully serving" Robert McKay as a servant.

"Portrait and Biographical Album of DeWitt and Piatt Counties Illinois", published 1891 by Chapman Bros., Chicago, Ill is the biography of John S. Brown which states that Mary McCarty was his great-grandmother and wife of Paul Froman (Jr.). The following excerpt from that source gives the lineage: ("John S. Brown) was born April 20, 1830, near Taylorsville, Spencer County, Ky, to Henry K. and Christenia (Froman) Brown, natives respectively of Nelson and Spencer Counties, Ky. They spent their entire lives in the State of their nativity." . . . "The paternal grandfather of our subject was John L. Brown, who was born at Brownsville, Pa. He married Jemima Cotton" and finally, "The mother of our subject is a daughter of John Froman, who was a son of Paul Froman. The latter was born in Pennsylvania, and married Mary McCarty. John Froman was born and reared in Pennsylvania, and died in Spencer County, Ky. He married Catherine McKay. About 1762, Paul Jr. moved his family up to Westmoreland Co., PA. Although this land still belonged to the Indians, it was being claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvania. Paul became an "illegal squatter", along with his uncle, Henry Spears and cousins, Peter and Mary Reasoner. He settled across the Monongahela River from them. Monongahela City was built on the site of Paul's home. In 1768, Paul attended the baptism of Peter and Mary Reasoner's second child, Jacob. Paul signed as "Lestes", or Godfather. Years later, Jacob Reasoner moved his family to Nelson Co., KY where Paul was well established. Paul served in the Revolutionary War for Pennsylvania. His name appears on the "Pittsburgh Pay Roll" page 29 as Captain of a company, as having been in service 176 days. Paul's name is recorded in the Minute Book Of Virginia Court Held for Yohogania County, first at Augusta Town (now Washington) and afterward on the Andrew Heath Farm at West Elizabeth 1776-1780. The History of Washington Co., PA by McFarland, tells of Paul Froman settling on the east bank of Monongahela River and of Paul's importance in this early day. He built Froman's Fort on Chartiers Creek, the north part of what is now Washington County. In 1780, Paul Jr. and his brother Jacob Froman sold out their holdings in Pennsylvania and along with others, including their cousins Jacob and Solomon Speers, migrated to Kentucky (which was then Lincoln Co., VA). Solomon was killed by Indians, but the other three man became wealthy and prominent citizens, raising illustrious families. Kentucky records show Paul Froman and Daniel Boone serving on the same jury. Paul Froman's earliest Kentucky land record was dated May 27, 1780 on Froman's Creek. Paul Jr. and Mary had eight know children.Paul John was one of the founders of Bearshear Station, Bullitt Co. Kentucky in 1779. Kentucky records for Nelson Co. shows that Paul did not stay long at the Bearshear Station but moved into Nelson County were the family resided for many years. "Foman's "Mill Place" was the property which Paul Froman took up and afterwards sold to Robert McGee, and which was surveyed in 1786. Froman took up a great deal of land in this section, all of his purchases having special reference to the water privileges upon them. He built a grist mill upon his land in this township, and attempted to build a high dam and use an overshot wheel, but this was never accomplished, and the dam has always been called "Froman's Folly." The mill was located on Froman's Run at the falls, just below Harper's road. Froman made a trip down the river with produce and died there.Descendants of Jost Hite
1 Jost Hite b: 1685 in Germany d: 07 May 1761 in Frederick County, VA
.. +Anna Maria Merckle b: 1687 d: 1738
Many people are familiar with Jost Hite and his efforts to settle families in the Shenandoah Valley. He had at least three other partners, Robert Duff, William Green, and Robert McKay. Another member of the group, Peter Stephens, was a surveyor. In 1731 the group secured an order from the Governor and Council of Virginia for 100,000 acres on several branches of the Shenandoah River which covered areas around Winchester Virginia, but also included the Massanutten mountain as well as both sides of the mountain. The Van Meter brothers had also obtained a grant for 40,000 acres, but they assigned their rights to Joist Hite and Robert McKay. Added to the 100,000 acres, this gave Hite and company a total of 140,000 acres. In 1734 the Virginia Council declared that Hite and company had complied with the terms of the 40,000 acre grant and were directed to have patents issued based on surveys. The surveys were deposited in the Land Office, but the patents were not issued, because Fairfax claimed the whole 140,000 acres were within his Northern Neck land. England interceded and restrained the Virginia Colonial government from issuing grants.
In 1746 there is record of a bond in Orange County Virginia describing the different grants: Robert Green, of Orange County, to Robert McCay of Augusta, and Jost Hite, of Frederick. Bond in �3000 dated 18th June, 1746. Whereas, Robert McCay, Jost Hite, Robert Green, and Wm. Duff, deceased, did in lifetime of Duff obtain order of Council for one tract of 3,060 acres on north branch of Shanando; one tract of 9,860 acres in a hollow of the mountains in the fork of Shanando; one tract of 2,200 acres on north branch of Shanando; one tract of 7,000 acres on south branch of Shanando; one tract of 891 acres on north branch of Shanando; one tract of 310 acres on south branch of Shanando (in order for the more speedy conveying same to purchasers). Parties agree that patent should be made to Robert Green. Condition that Robert make proper conveyances to purchasers and one moiety of the residue to the other parties. Witnesses, Jno. Smith, Thos. Stevenson, Jno. Hite. Acknowledged, 18th June, 1746.
In 1771 Hite got a decree in his favor, but Lord Fairfax appealed to the King and Council. The fight continued until after the revolution, and both Fairfax and Hite had died
before the case was settled in favor of Hite.

Caleb Job (b. 1704) was living on the South River Shenandoah north and east of present-day Overall, Warren county, Virginia where there were two waterways named after him. Present-day Overall Run was called Caleb Job's Mill Run in the Fairfax grants issued to Michael Hilligas on 10 March 1768 and to Andrew McKay on 23 May 1794. McKay's 261-acre tract had been surveyed on 22 November 1766. (according to Gray, Northern Neck Grants) Both of these tracts were located approximately two miles east of Overall, Virginia on Overall Run. The term "Caleb Jobs Mill Run" established that Caleb was operating a mill on this run before his death in 1750. The surveys for William Saffer's tract located adjacent south of Overall referred to Over Run as "Caleb's Run". The other waterway named after Caleb Job was called Calebs/Caleps/Cunningham Run and emptied into the South River about three-fourths mile down river, running north on both sides of U.S. Highway 340 to near Bentonville, Virginia. The run was referred to as "Caleps Run" in Ephriam Leith's 133 acre Fairfax grand and as "Caleb Jobs Run" in Josiah Leith's (George Leith's son) 214-acre grant. When these two tracts were sold, the run was referred to as 'Cunningham's Run' in the deeds.

James Leith, father of George and Ephraim Leith had come from Chester County Pennsylvania by 26 January 1735/36 and settled in the South River area. In his deposition in the Hite/Fairfax lawsuit, Barnaby Eagon stated: "James Leith the father of Ephraim Leith was among the first settlers on the South River. When Peter Wolf and Morgan Morgan submitted the list of "Settlements upon the Grant
granted to Robert McCay, Jost Hite and their Partners" (100,000 acres) James and his son George were on this list.

........... +Miriam Forbes b: Abt. 1715George Leith Sr was a son of James and a brother to Epraim Leith. In 1748 Daniel Stover qualified as a guardian of John, Mary and James Campbell, orphans of John Campbell, with sureties Abraham Strickler and George Leath. On 22nd of May 1750 orphan George Wiley was bound to George Leeth. In 1752 George Leith received a grant for 250 acres which is at now Big Spring, south of Rileyville. (Point A on the above map). George Leith was married to Miriam and named seven children in his will: Josiah, George, Ebenezer, Anna, Rachel, Elizabeth and Grace Leith. The will of George Leith was witnessed by Jno. Levesque, Peter Jackson, Henry Nelson Jr. and probated 2 November 1768. In his will, George said that Ephraim Leith was his brother. Josiah Leith and Alexander Mathews qualified as administrators for the estate of George Leith. Alexander Matthews was married to George's daughter Anna Leith. Jeremiah Matthews, brother of Alexander was married to Elizabeth Job, daughter of Caleb and Barbara Job. Ebenezer Leith, son of George Leith Sr, married Nancy McKay, a daughter of James and Mary Chester McKay. Josiah Leith, son of George Leith, and his wife Elizabeth owned land on Jeremy's Run. In 1784 Walter Cunningham purchased 120 acres on Jeremy's Run from Josiah and Elizabeth Leith who moved to Green/Jefferson County Tennessee. Josiah appointed Edwin Young of Shenandoah 'his lawful attorney' in 1792 regarding land located on Cunningham Run and conveyed by Thomas Dodson/Dotson to Josiah Leith Sr in 1778. This tract was located north from Overall on the west side of present US Hwy 340 at Camp Skymont. In Shenandoah County Deed Book Volume K 1795 is a record of sale of land by Josiah and Rachel Leith to Joseph Howey and references "a certain tract of Land Conveyed by Thomas Dodson/Dotson to Josiah Leith containing 197 3/4 acres more or less and being on Cunningham�s Run in the county of Shenandoah and State of Virginia". In his will (proved 2 November 1768), George Leith stated that Ephraim Leith was his brother. . . .

Ephriam and Barbary Job Leith had 5 children. After Barbary died, Ephraim married Leah (MacKay) Tyler Odell, d/o Robert MacKay Sr. and Anne Brown, about 1784/5 probably Shenandoah Co., VA. Ephraim Leith received a Fairfax grant for 367 acres on Jeremy's Run (assigned/sold to him by Thomas Dodson) on 12 March 1776. This tract was located between Moody Creek and Jeremy's Run approximately two miles southeast of Rileyville on Page County Highway 661 to Highway 605 and then east about one-half mile. . . . Ephraim sold this tract to Moses Moody for 20 pounds on 29 May 1783. By 22 May 1753, Ephraim had married Barbara Job, widow of Caleb Job. Ephraim Leith and Samuel Phaires were appointed administrators
of John Leith's estate by the Shenandoah County Court on 27 November 1783. 1752 August 20 - Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Vol I Augusta county Court Records Order Book No 1 page 317 "Moses McKay prays for counter security from Barbara Job (now Leath) and Ephriam Leath, Admrs. of Caleb Job" 1768 Ephriam Leeth made bond for title to the church wardens of the parish of Frederick for half of an acre of land when he had clear title to the land.' It appears that Ephraim lived on his portion of the 200 acres he inherited from his father James Leath. 1776 Ephriam Leath appeared in court in the 1770's in the case of Hite et al vs. Fairfax to claim his land which was due his father as an early settler of the Hite and McKay survey. Ephraim Leeth finally received clear title to this land in 1791, some six years after his death. The grant totaled 133 acres and was on Jeremy's Run. This land was located in present-day northern Page County, Virginia. Ephraim Leith was deceased by 28 April 1785 when the Shenandoah County Court appointed his son James Leith to serve as administrator of Ephraim's estate. James' securities were Edwin Young and Walter Cunningham. As Ephraim's heir, James and his wife Lydia Leith sold 801 acres on the southwest side of Cunningham Run "in John Shaffers line" to John Overall for 14 pounds on 13 November 1805. This 801-acre tract was part of a 133-acre tract, probably where Ephraim lived from around 1740 until his death in 1785. The Saffer/Shaffer tract was a 249-acre tract located adjacent southeast from Overall, Virginia north about three-fourths mile. The 133-acre tract on Calebs Run adjacent William Saffer and Adam Cunningham was surveyed for Ephraim on 5 May 1778 but the grant was not issued until 4 April 1791 subsequent to his death. This tract was located on both sides of Calips/Cunningham Run and on both sides of U.S. Highway 340 north of Overall to north of the Warren County Highway 678/Highway 340 junction.................. 3 John Leith b: Abt. 1755 in Frederick County, VA

A surveyor, William Green, remarked in his field notes in 1747, that he was surprised to find a Darby McCarty in what was then the wilds of the Shenandoah Valley. The only other person in the general area was a hunter named Wilson. Green said Darby McCarty, late of Bucks county, Pa. He also said Darby showed him a 'certificate of good behavior'. Such certificates were issued by big land owners in Northern Ireland to loyal tenants who were migrating to the new world.

.. +Ann Browne b: 1687 in Delaware/PA d: Abt. 1726 in Cecil, MD m: Abt. 1700 in NJRobert McKay Sr, one of the original landowners and partners in the Shenandoah Valley, came from New Jersey to Cecil County Maryland, which borders on Chester County, Pennsylvania. Many early settlers in the valley were from Chester County, Pennsylvania. Robert McKay is listed on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River by 1736. The first area settled was in the northern part of the south fork valley, with others coming later and settling in the valley along the south fork of the Shenandoah River. He and his partners had trouble securing the required number of settlers, but they made an effort among their own descendants, and many of the families are intertwined. The McKays were Quakers who worshipped in Chester County Pennsylvania but later attended the Hopewell Meeting house built in 1734, north of Winchester Virginia. When the Crooked Run Meeting House was organized later, near the village of Nineveh in Warren County on the main road between Winchester and Front Royal, the McKays and other Quakers attended there.

Most of them settled near New Market along the South Bank of the Shenandoah River. However, William Whitson was near Thorne's Gap, in 1752, with John Davis, Barnaby Eagen, Henry Netherington (Netherton) and Elisha Jobe, an older brother of David Jobe. The ford, leading from Thorne's Gap to Front Royal was long known as Whitson's Ford. In 1775, William Whitson had a large family. He was living near his son, William Whitson, Jr. Before 1783, William Whitson, Sr., removed to Washington County, TN, where he died, leaving a will. His estate fell to a younger son, Jesse Whitson and named daughters Susannah Eagen, Lydia McKay. Sons Joseph and Jesse were executors and witnesses were Henry Nelson, Jr., William Wood, and Reuben Rider.

Carter County, Tennessee & It's People 1796-1993:
William Whitson came to Washington County, Tennessee from the Shenandoah Valley after 1775 settling on land which became Carter County. His land lay on the Catbird Branch of Sinking Creek off the Watauga River. This was the second move for William and wife Margaret Whitson. They had both been born in the tidewater area of Virginia--Stafford County and moved to the Shenandoah Valley shortly after 1750 settling on land in the Powell Fort area. They endured the years of constant Indian attacks during the French and Indian War. William Whitson was in the militia in Frederick County, VA. In his father, William Whitson's will probated in Stafford County, VA in 1739, William Whitson (son) was described as a planter. And so he seemed to remain always in search of more and better land. His line of descent in Stafford County can be traced back to Joseph Whitson who may have come from Norfolk County, VA before purchasing land in Stafford 1694. This 400 acre tract lay on the north side of Aquia Creek off the Potomac River.In the 1779 tax list of Washington County, Tennessee, William Whitson's property was valued at $520.00. This consisted of three horses and two cows. He had no "ready" money. He died in Washington County, TN in 1783 leaving a will naming four children.
He had at least ten children:
(1) Captain Thomas Whitson was born ca 1736 in Stafford County, VA. He left Shenandoah County, VA and moved to Rowan County, NC sometime prior to the Revolution. His land lay on the Catawba River where he operated a ferry. He was commissioned a Captain in the Revolution but towards the close of the war switched sides and fought with the British. He came to Tennessee sometime after 1790 and took up land on the north bank of Little Doe off ...Creek.
(2) John Whitson born ca 1738 in Stafford County, VA and moved to Rowan County, NC with his brother.
(3) William Whitson, Jr. was born 7 March1740 in Stafford County, VA. He came to Tennessee with his father and eventually moved south to land in present Cocke County on the waters of Big Pigeon River. He established a fort during the Indian uprisings which bore his name. Both William Whitson, Jr. and wife Elizabeth helped establish the Big Pigeon Baptist Church and both became charter members.
(4) Charles Whitson was born 5 March 1742 in Stafford County. He held the rank of private in the Revolution. He remained in Shenandoah County where he died 1782.
(5) James Whitson was born 10 Feb 1744 in Stafford County and came to Tennessee with his father. He fought in the battle at King's Mountain. he received the bulk of his father's estate including the plantation. With daughter Martha and wife Rachel he is included in minutes of Sinking Creek Baptist Church in Carter County. About 1820 he moved south into recently formed Monroe County probably settling near the town of Madisonville.
(6) Susannah Whitson was born ca 1755 in Frederick County, VA and married to Barnaby Eagan. She lived on land near her father on Sinking Creek. Along with several other families Barnaby and Susannah Whitson Eagan moved west into Wilson County, TN settling on land on Spencer's Creek off the Cumberland River.
(8) Lydia Whitson married Jeremiah McKay and remained in Shenandoah County, VA. Where in 1790 she petitioned for her portion of brother Joseph's estate.
