Information on Henry Netherton
From Genforum.com post:
Henry Netherton: He was a tester to the land deed transfer between Richard Harrold and John Harrold in November 1750. Family Search indicates, Henry Netherton was born about 1710 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He died about 1788 in Augusta County. He married Sarah Rhodes about 1737 in Stafford, Westmoreland County, Virginia. They had a son named Henry Netherton, who was born about 1740 in Prince William County, Virginia. He died about 1800 in Jefferson County, Kentucky. Eventually there was intermarriage between the Netherton and McKay lines. The Nethertons and Harrels might have migrated to Augusta County at about the same time. Stafford County is one county west of the Northern Neck. Prince William County is two counties west of the Northern Neck. This arrow points to the Northern Neck.
