Early Land Acquisition in Augusta County, VA

From Cartmill Family DNA site: (http://www.cartmill-genealogy.com/dna.html)

John Cartmill first shows up in Augusta County, VA about 1745 when he received a land patent on the Cowpasture River in Augusta County near today's town of Millboro.

John Cartmill's presence on the Cowpasture is further shown in Annals of Bath County, Virginia, by Oren F. Morton, pg. 58:

A petition by Adam Dickenson, for a road from the "lower end of the Cowpasture to Carter's mill" on the Calfpasture was rejected in February, 1748, but granted a month later. The signers were John Cartmill, Hugh Coffey, Adam Dickenson, John Donally, William Daugherty, William Gillespie, James Mayse, William Hugh (?) Ralph Laverty, Alexander Millroy, James McCay, John Mitchell, John Moore, Andrew Muldrock, James Scott, James Simpson, and James Stuart. These people were living above and below Fort Dickenson, and on Stuart's Creek. Whether this road was to go through "Painter's Gap" is not clear. We do not find definite mention of that passage in road orders until 1762.

John Cartmill acquired 300 acres on the Cowpasture "touching Indian Draft" in 1760. 245 acres of this land was sold in 1774 to Samuel Cartmill for £100. (Source: Annals of Bath County, VA)

JOHN CARTMILL I (1710-1773) John Cartmill I Born about 1710. Died 1773 in Augusta County, VA. Wife's name unknown. Moved to the Cowpasture River area of Augusta County, VA about 1745. The area in which John settled is in today's Bath County, VA near the town of Millboro. John is probably a brother of Henry Cartmill I. Henry Cartmill I moved into the same area of VA about 10 years after John moved there.

John's origins are uncertain but he was probably living in Chester County, PA prior to moving to Augusta County, VA. John's apparent brother Henry was definitely in Chester County, PA prior to Henry's move to Augusta County, VA. Henry Cartmill was on the 1750-1753 tax list for Chester County, PA and Henry's youngest son, Lt. Henry'll, was born in Chester County, PA about 1754 per Lt. Henry's Am Rev pension application.

John Cartmill first shows up in Augusta County, VA about 1745 when he received a land patent on the Cowpasture Rive'gusta County near today's town of Millboro. John's name can be found in numerous Augusta County, VA records up through 1773, the year he died. John Cartmill left a will when he died but unfortunately it was never recorded. Augusta County Will Book 5, '7 has the following entry: “John Cartmill's will partly proved and ordered to lie for further proof”. The will was never fully proved and therefore never recorded.

John Cartmill I of the Cowpasture River appears to have had the following six children:

1. James Cartmill - born about 1738; Probably died as a young man. James' name only shows up twice, once in 1758 and once in 1766. No further records found.

a. 1758 - James and John Cartmill, members of the Augusta Mili'

b. 1766 - Chalkley's Chronicles, V1, page 350 - James and John Cartmill, brothers, in a lawsuit, Givens Vs Cartmill.

2. John Cartmill II - born about 1740. Married Susannah Ward 1763 in Augusta County, VA. Moved to Fayette County, KY about 1785 (Lexington area). Moved north to Harrison County, KY before 1800 and died in Harrison County, KY in 1808. John Cartmill II left a will naming three sons and seven daughters. Some descendants, including John Cartmill III, moved to Rush County, Indiana around 1820-1830 and consistently used the Cartmel spelling of the name.

3. Thomas Cartmill - born about 1745. Married Mary Warwick 1769 in Augusta County. Thomas settled on the Greenbriar River in today's Greenbriar County, WV, about 20-30 miles west of the Cowpasture River where his father lived. Moved from the Greenbriar River of WV to Montgomery County, KY around 1790. Montgomery County, KY is just east of Lexington, KY. Thomas and his wife Mary sold their property on the Greenbriar River in 1803 while living in Kentucky. John Warwick handled the sale in VA for Thomas. Thomas died shortly after 1803 in Montgomery County, KY, apparent' no will. Many of Thomas's six sons and four daughters can be found in Bath County, KY after 1800. Bath County is the next county north of Montgomery County, KY. A few descendants moved to Madison County, OH in the early 1800s.

4. Samuel Cartmill born about 1750. Wife's name unknown. Samuel appears to have died in Fayette County, KY about 1795-1800. A Samuel Cartmill was on the 1790 Fayette County, KY tax list but cannot be found in 1800 or later records. Appears to have had one son, Elijah, who moved to Fayette County, KY with his father.

5. Molly Cartmill - See Peggy Cartmill below

6. Peggy Cartmill - Molly and Peggy Cartmill were captured by Indians in September 1757. Their capture in 1757 and release in 1765 is documented in several sources.
