I found this while searching the archives of another list an felt it might
benefit some one in this group. Too bad it didn't come with Marys e address,
she really does have a lot of valuable research here. ~Paula~

Hi, Gang,
This came into another family list. I think it's a
really interesting piece for your week-end reading which
explains a lot of why our ancestors moved around where
they did. This obviously was a email to a friend and
it ended up on a list.
(Begin quote)
Please forgive any typos, and I will do my best to
explain an area I had a lot of problems with at first.
Your records say your ancestor was born ca 1780 in NC
but you can not find your family anywhere in the state
of NC. Well, try Virginia.
Here is the migration pattern:
People from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and other coastal areas went in to
the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia thru Harpers Ferry. Mine came in from
PA by way of the
Northern Neck of Virginia in the late 1750s. The Shenandoah Valley was a
rich land - mountains on each
side with rivers running down to the valley floor. For
our ancestors migration I always think of it as a funnel. Once they got
in, there were few ways out. The Great Valley Road ran thru the valley
thru towns like Woodstock, Winchester, Staunton to Big Lick Va (today
Roanoke). It
is today US 11 or I-81. From the mid 1740s to 1775, thousands of people
used this road to travel to new land. During the French and Indian War
many of the Valley men
saw service in far away places. Captain Bowman was a
valley man buried far away from his Valley home. Captain Lincoln and
Captain Spurlock were also well known Indian Fighters of the time.
The War was really four wars fought between 1689 and 1763 with Valley
men joining groups at different times in those years and going all the
way to Ohio Valley and even Canada. So these men knew what was over the
mountains.
By the late 1750s the southern end of the Valley road was extended in to
North Carolina and southwest to the Va frontier. By the 1770s there were
some very nice towns
on the road in the Valley, you could easily travel from there all the way
to Boston, Mass. Wagons were going and coming, there were profession
haulers with large mule teams, inns along the way. People in the valley
could visit relatives in Pennsylvania, churchs were beginning
to spring up. It was a booming place. As the land was taken up, new
arrivals or the children who had grown up
in the Valley had to look for new land. It was waiting at the end of the
road out on the frontier.
The Virginia wilderness is where Virginia in 1768 or
1769 gave land grants to the soldiers who had fought in
the French and Indian War and other wars. The area of the land grants was
what is today Sullivan County Tennessee. Others just looking for free
land also went there - everyone thinking they were still in Virginia. It
was called Washington County Virginia and was the entire area over the
mountains. Dont get it confused with present
day Washington County, VA.
I am talking at first about the area of Bristol, TN but people soon
spread out on the Holston, Clinch and
Tennessee Rivers in what I call the Golden Triangle.
The area between present day Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City
Tennessee - the area on the VA/TN border
just west of present day Johnson County, TN.
Land records of the time always mention the nearest water - a river,
stream, creek. Names such as north and south branch of the Holston
River, Cinch River, Tennessee, Sinking Creek, Reedy Creek, Kendrick
Creek, etc. Valleys named Carter, Holston, Cook, and Denton (also names
of Shenandoah Valley families). Long Island of the Holston where a fort
was built in 1758 by Col. Bird and a group of Shenandoah Valley men.
After the Indian Treaties of 1769, the area was open for settlement. And
the people poured in.
Prior to 1779, the area north of the Holston was claimed by Virginia.
Therefore if you are researching your family in that area before that
time, you have to look in Washington County Virginia records. The
earliest land grants were made sometime in mid 1750s to 1779. After
that date, it was discovered that the land was really in North Carolina
so it became Sullivan County North Carolina and records are in North
Carolina.
1738 - 1769 Augusta County Virginia
1769 - 1772 Botetourt County Virginia
1772 - 1777 Fincastle County Virginia
1777 - 1779 Washington County Virginia
1779 - 1796 Sullivan County North Carolina
1796 - today Sullivan County Tennessee (but you might have to look in
Greene and Hawkins county TN also for
your family records).
Of course, when that area became Tennessee, after 1796
you have to look in Tennessee for records.

On the Gen Web:
Unicoi County Tennessee - has a neat map and links
between 6 TN counties and 6 NC counties
State of Franklin info is found on Greene Co TN page - this is where one
of my ancestors went after leaving Sullivan Co - say about 1784. A lot
of famous people
came out of this Franklin group - Davy Crockett, etc.
Many of the founders of the Republic of Texas were in
with Franklin group, also many of the early governors, senators for
several future states like TN, Arkansas, KY.
Hawkins County TN page - a place where a lot of the settlers ended up
say 1772 in Carter's Valley. Really should think about this county for
research.
(Knox county TN came out of Greene and Hawkins counties)
Johnson County Tn page - it has a list of signers of the Watauga Petition
sent to North Carolina in 1776. A really great page, and some of the
early settlers ended up here.
Watauga County NC page - wrong page if you are looking
for the Watauga settlement, but it is where the Boone family came from.
Has some good links to other pages
Washington County Va - this is about the best for what
you are looking for. It has a lot of info on the resources available,
explains a lot of what you need to know. They have info on Historical
Socity - records for county available on microfilm on inter-library
loaned from the Library of Virginia.
Hope this has been of some help to you.
Mary
