Augusta/Tazewell families [13 July 2014]

Hi Cathyjane, thanks for the note. I have been working on Augusta County for several years as part of the Early Settlers of Augusta County Project with a few other interested researchers, especially User:Quolla6, who has been especially helpful in working key Augusta families and adding his maps and templates to the Person and Family Pages.

Please feel free to add whatever information that you have that ties into these families, as the help would be greatly appreciated. Be sure to add whatever sources you have for your information, as those sources help to show other researchers where your information comes from and documemts the sources you've used to back up your work. There are tutorial videos available on the basics if you need help.

Same thing on the Kenners and Tazewell County families, help on those families that you might have additional information/sources would also help the efforts of other researchers on the site.

If you have any specific questions regarding some families, let me know and I'll check my files.

I've also added a bit of information to the Person Page of your ancestor's father whom I just added, Bartholomew Alder, who acquired land on Yeager's Branch of Smith's Creek in Augusta County in 1777, just a few years before he [apparently] died in Lincoln County, Kentucky in 1780. Hope this gives you a little start:)

Best regards and welcome to WeRelate!

Thank you.--Cathyjane 16:09, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for adding the page for Bartholomew Alder. I haven't researched his relatively short stay in Augusta County as much as I would like but look forward to having time to learn how to navigate this site so and having time to post some of my research, including the following: -- citation to Augusta County court records showing that he was ordered to appear in a suit concerning a land dispute but did not as he has already moved on down into Wythe/Tazewell County; -- summaries and citations to records about his association with the Zimmerman/Carpenter family of Augusta/Rockingham Co. and their acquisitions of land in Kentucky, including Bartholomew Alder's purchase in 1779 and his son's later sell of a 400 acre tract on the Big South Fork of the Rolling Fork of the Salt River in Casey Co., KY; -- summaries and citations of records about Carpenter Station in Kentucky; -- summaries and citations to records about another son (full brother of the one murdered and the one captured) of Bartholomew Alder who returned to Augusta/Rockingham Co., married Barbara Moyer, etc.; and -- summaries and citations to records about the first son (half brother of the one murdered, the one captured, and the one who returned to Augusta/Rockingham Co.) who moved from Wythe/Tazewell down into Hawkins/Hancock Co., TN and beyond.

In the meantime I hope these quick notes will be of interest to someone on this site.--Cathyjane 16:34, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
