Joseph, Martha, Elizabeth, Samuel, and Sarah and their families moved to Black’s Fort then again with their parents Elizabeth and Samuel south of the French Broad. Janet and Christian moved to Black’s Fort, then remained there in Abingdon with their husbands and Uncle Andrew Colville, their substitute father, when the others went southwest. Some of their families remained in Frederick County after they moved. Two Vances were Presbyterian ministers in Northern VA. Thomas and Margaret Colville Newell did not make the move to Black’s Fort. He was known as “Little Thomas”. His cousin Thomas Newell was “Big Thomas” around Frederick and Shenandoah counties.--Weylerf 20:03, 10 January 2012 (EST)
