Discovered major error, which has, in fact, cleared up some of the mystery. Montpelier is in Hanover Co., not Orange Co. However, I'm still trying to find more info about where Walter lived, who his wife (wives) were, etc.

I am a direct descendent of two brothers, Hugh David (the better known) and John Russell. These men worked on Monticello, the University of Virginia, The Poplars, and Montpelier, among others. In letter to James Madison, Jefferson refers to 'loaning' his workers for the construction of Madison's home in Orange Co., VA.
In my family genealogy, I show that these brothers' father was Walter Chisholm(e). There are several references to Walter as witness to land transfers and other legal transactions, all in Hanover County and Louisa County, VA - EXCEPT: He owned some property called "Little Garden" near Montpelier in Orange County and sold it over 100 acres to Stanley Alvis in 1793. But there are absolutely NO other legal transactions I can find referring to Walter. Why did Walter own property in Orange Co if he didn't live there? Are Hugh David and John Russell Walter's sons? If anyone has any information at all, DNA or otherwise, I'd be happy to converse!!

Have traced my family genealogy back as far as John Russell Chisholm, son or grandson of Adam the Jacobite. However, dna does not match. My research indicates J.R. or his father may have been the sons of Adam's or his son, Walter's second wife, whom he adopted upon marriage. Does anyone have any information concerning this possibility?
