Land Acquisition

According to court records contained in Transcript:Lamie Vs Tate, Augusta County, VA High Court, 1805', Samuel Lammie acquired land in 1770 on "Cove Creek" and lived there until 1774, when he was taken [and apparently killed] by Indians. His land was acquired by his brother Andrew Lammie after Samuel's apparent death. Samuel never married and had no children.

   Andrew Lammie was born about 1731 and according to family tradition came from Scotland to America as a British soldier and married in Philadelphia about 1761. (Family tradition is in substantial agreement on this history, much of it based on the statement of Mary Buchanan Shell; tombstone records, Lamie Cemetery, Smyth County, Virginia)
   
   In 1770 Andrew and his bachelor brother Samuel settled a 300 acre farm on Cove Creek, a branch of the North Fork of the Holston River in Botetourt County (now Smythe County) Virginia. Soon after 1771, Samuel moved about three miles down Cove Creek to land previously cleared by by James Anderson. On September 8, 1774, Samuel was captured by Indians and probably taken to Canada or killed. Andrew and his family fled to Royal Oak Fort- now Marion, Virginia for protection.
   
   Andrew and his family then occupied and cultivated Samuel's vacated land and secured title to it from the Loyala Land Company.
   He hired Hugh Hays to cut house logs and Edward Jones and his son John Lamie to cut briars. The house was raised a few weeks before The Battle of King's Mountain in 1780 and the family moved into it on Christmas Day, 1780.
