   In 1730, the Colony of Virginia encouraged settlers from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Deleware, and Maryland to the frontiers on the east and west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains by issuing land grants.The migration through "Old" Frederick County, Virginia proceeded south from the Potomac River across the present day counties of Berkeley, Jefferson, Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Page and Shenandoah. The southern migration occurred between the late 1720's and mid-to-late 1730's. Approximately 85% of the early settlers of "Old" Fredereick County came from William Penn's area of Pennsylvania, Deleware, and New Jersey. Among these settlers was Samuel Oldale (odell). Samuel Odell lived on 400-acre tract of land from about 1744/45 when he arrived at the south River of Shenandoah County until at least 23 Mar 1770 when Adam Cunningham stated in a disposition that samuel was living there.
