I recognize the name Brocaw and Johnson........There was a Bourgeon Brocaw
who had a daughter Mary that married Andrew Bird. From this marriage I have
notes in the schematic below two son(more children though).....I find Brocaw
and Johnson families in near Douglasville, PA.

Check out these families for families that lived in VA/WV.:

BIRD - RUDDELL - WILSON - SLAVENS - INSKEEP - SADOWSKI - JONES - CAIN - VAUSE
- POWNALL - PETERS - SCOTHORN - GUTHRIE:

Seems the Boones, Lincoln's, Birds, Sadowski's all came down to Linville and
Smith's Creek area of Rockingham County, VA. Then migrated South and West. If
you are interested, in this Issue of The Peters and Allied Families
Genealogical Quarterly are some maps of this area and approximate locations.

I just got back from a trip from Mt. Sterling, Ky and was intrigued to find a
Nimrod Byrd who was born in I think about 1818 timeframe.....anyone seen this
Byrd before?? I happened to stumble upon Judge Belvard January Peters
gravestone too! This Peters had a brother Albert Gallatin Peters(both Lawyers) and
both descendents of Ashby' family. These Peters were Scottish. Anyone help me on
their ancestry here?

Hope we can help each other.
