- Samuel McNabb and wife Isabella bought 79 acres (in the James River communities, an area which went to Rockbridge County when it was created in 1778) from John Berry June 19, 1773, and sold it to James Skidmore November 9, 1779. After the war, in 1788 he acquired 250 acres on Roaring Run, James River, from a new grant (for Revolutionary War service?), and in the same year he transferred it to William McNabb and his wife Mary (a note says William "inherited" it — apparently William was Samuel's son). This land was then sold in September 1794 to Andrew Booker.
