Records in Augusta County, VA

From Chalkley's:

  • Vol. 2 LIST OF DELINQUENTS - Insolvents and Delinquents, 1791: William Allison, removed to Kentucky; Sampson Allen, to Kentucky; Herman Lovingood, to Georgia; John Tennant, in the army; Arthur Conaway, removed to Kentucky; Christopher Graham, to Kentucky; James Knowles, to Kentucky. [Note: it appears that William Allison left Augusta County sometime in 1791 after the death of his first wife Sarah Robertson who is buried in Stone Church Cemetery in Augusta County. This is confirmed by the place of birth of William's son Jeremiah Allison, who in census records was born in Kentucky in 1801].
