Records in Augusta County, VA

From Chalkley's:

  • Vol. 2 - Humphrey's administrator vs. McClenachan's administrator--O. S. 281; N. S. 99--Bill, June, 1798, by Alexr. Humphreys, that on 3d October, 1795, Alexr. McClenachan contracted to sell orator 6,666-2/3 acres in Kentucky, due McClenachan for military service in late war, and 4,000 acres as assignee of William Long, also entitled for military service. McClenachan died, intestate, leaving a son John and two daughters, Elizabeth, wife of William Abney, and Letitia, wife of Morris Austin. At September Court, Franklin County, Ky., 1818. David Humphreys is appointed guardian to Elizabeth and Alexander Humphreys, infant orphans of Alexr. Humpreys. James B. Humphreys, son of Dr. Alexr. Humphreys, late of Staunton, releases his claim to Charles Sproule of Frankfort, Ky., 10th July, 1815. Patent by Governor of Kentucky to Alexander McClanahan and Henry Rhodes, 6,666-2/3 acres in District set apart for the officers and soldiers of the Continental line on waters of Rock Creek, 22d March, 1797. Letter dated Lexington, Ky., 20th August, 1796, to Dr. Alexr. Humphreys at Staunton. In 1782, James Thompson, now of Kentucky, obtained a right of settlement for 1,400 acres within 2 or 3 miles of Martin's Station in Powell's Valley and shortly after removed to Kentucky. Writer returned to Kentucky 10th July and found "James, his lady and our relations in this quarter all well." James has formed a respectable connexion. Mr. Blair will also make out very well in this country. Having no late information from my parents or from Preston, I know not whether their removal to Kentucky may be expected this fall. Our frontier inhabitants and the Indians carry on friendly intercourse with each other, in consequence of which our new settlements extend rapidly. State never enjoyed a greater degree of prosperity. Season has been highly favorable; crops of every kind most abundant. My love to my sister and your little ones." Signed J. Brown. Answer by Mary Humphries, widow of late Alexander Humphreys, and James, John and Samuel, his heirs. David C. Humphreys was also a son.
