Footnotes
- ↑ Where a geographic determination is possible, it has been preferrably based on the mention of a specific entity (e.g., Borden's Grant). Sometimes this is not possible, and the identification is based on mentions of other individuals whose residence is known. For example, if Archibald Alexander is mentioned as an adjacent property owner, and he is known to have owned land on Borden's Grant, then it is assumed that the record for the James Edmiston of Borden's Grant. The specific reasoning has not been shown, except in cases where the connection being made is very obscure. (For example, a record mentioning "Rennick's Road", probably refers to the area where Robert Rennick (Rennix) who owned land on Buffallo Branch, east of Staunton on Beverly's Grant. In this case the record is coded for Beverly's Grant.
- ↑ Rennix Road probably refers to Robert Rennick who owned land on the Buffallo Branch near Staunton. This is the same general area where David Edmiston=Isabella owned property on Elk Creek. The following is probably from [[Source:Chalkley's Chronicles|]] but I haven't checked it. "...a conveyance of May 25, 1747, to James Miles for 201 acers on the Buffalo Branch...being part of the land Robert Renick now lives on" ~~~~ This places this entry on Beverly's Grant
