Something tat Gives me concern. is the relocatio of Three of My Ancestroal
Families, That the difference of the terian of their Original Home aea &
What they setled for in the AREA that they settled for where they Relocated
to. MY ancestor RichardPowell frm eastern Virginia<?> I have a map of the
area on Puppy creek road on the west side of Tobaco Row Mountian, I have
Visited this area Good for OPOSSUM HuNTING & wild grapes>
My Coffey family, Relocated to the top of long mountian, another area
good for Hard Scrable Farming, OPOSSUM Hunting, I this location they formed
Coffey Town <??>
Then My 5th Great Grand Pa George Campbell Settled on the North side of
PINEY RIVER, Where he Evently Bought some land & Raised his large Family, in
one of the least likely farming areas in the SState of Virginia.
Haveing been raised on a Virginia Farm in Amherst Counnty Va & Lived on
Farms in AMELIA, APPOMATTOX & Russell Counties.
THERE is no way that from where MY Ancestors Camefrom & The area that they
settled in in Amherst as being a wise selection of Farming Land, oer the
area that thel left as being a wise selection> There I must assume that
there was another reason for their relocation.
IT is with out a POSIABLE DOUBT, that it was NOT THE LAND Choice that MY
Ancestors Settled in The Three areas of Amherst COUNTY VA. that they & their
Descendants were found in.
DUE to the UNQUESTIONABLE Fact: Of my Ancestors
Haveing left the Area of Va that they DID & settleing tn the Rough
Mountian Area that they selected, That area was not the Best Land for Farming,
Even in AMHERST Couny.
I have to wonder if there is some unmentionable reason that they settled
in the ROUGEST part of AMHERST COUNTY.
Coffey's, Campbell's, & Powell's from ICE farming Country,??> TO SETTLING
into the MOST Undesireable Farming Area of the County< FOR WHAT REASON???
REALY gives reasn to wonder why: IT is unquestionable that these three a
reas of Amherst County ARE THE MOST undesireable For farming.
QUESTION? just why did these PEOPLE leave sme of THE MOST DESIREABLE
farming land & settle in the MOUNTIANS? IT jut does not add up to that was the
best that <THE COFFEY's, Campbell's & Powells Could DO. There had to be
some other reason, WHAT??? Is the reason unavailable or NOT MENTIONED??. I
HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS QUESTION NOR AN ATTEMPT TO GIVE A REASON. CUZ AT
