Facts and Events
David McClanahan was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia
__________________________
Records in Virginia
- James McClanahan (believed to be the brother of David McClanahan) in his Will of 20 October 1759 (recorded) 6 May 1760 in Lunenburn County, VA, Will Book I, page 322), bequeaths six cows, “to be evenly divided among the children of my brother John”, and names Samuel and William as sons of his brother David.
- At a court held for Botetourt County the 10th day of August 1770. Samuel McClanahan proved a certif.. accdg. To law for David McClanachan for four hundred & seven pounds of winter rotten hemp made on the sd. David’s plantation.
- 1787: We find Samuel McClanahan and David McClanahan, his father, in Botetourt County in the 1787 Personal Property Tax List for Virginia. This tax list is also shown as the 1787 Census for Virginia. It lists all personal property tax owners over the age of 21. These three events happened in very quick order and the lure of the newly opened lands of Tennessee to settlement found Samuel next in the eastern regions of Tennessee. If Samuel was related to Lieutenant Colonel William McClanahan in Botetourt County in Virginia, he certainly did not share in his prosperity
