Old Augusta Records for Samuel

Overview

Records for Samuel are found in Old Augusta between May 1751 and August 1765. Samuel owned a parcel on Buffalo Creek in what is now southern Rockbridge County. Our 1751 records for him came when improvements to this property were valued. This is presumably in preparation for the sale of the land, though this did not occur until 1765, when we find that he is living in Dromore Township in Lancaster County PA, and that his 300 acre tract "below the Forks of Buffalo Creek is sold by John Mitchell on behalf of Samuel, to James Dryden, son of David Dryden.
