Interesting site. Actually my Tankersley family was originally from
Rockbridge County. I have noted many in Clinton and surrounding counties
came from those areas of Virginia.
Thanks for reply.

Not sure if this guy came because of this, but I have a veteran I have been
researching that fought in the civil war and was born in Rockbridge, VA His
family stayed in Virginia from what I can tell , but be came up here, you
can read his obit on
www.findagrave.com
go to search surname, search by name, type in Braxton Delaney Cash, State,
Indiana
His two obits are in there, he has no tombstone as of yet, but we have one
and are waiting for better weather to set it.

one of 400 wagons who left the Shenandoah Valley. They were accompanied
by
Sheridan's army leaving the valley, across Harpers Ferry.
The Tankersleys in Colfax, Clinton County, Indiana.
I believe they came to Colfax as William had a neice, Rachel Sly Mynes,
living there. I have been unable to find if any other families came with
them.
Does anyone have ancestors who came to Indiana under these circumstances.
Thanks in advance,
