Alice,

That looks like the same "migration pattern" of BELLIS. I haven't found any
in Loudoun Co. VA, but Hampshire/Berkeley Co. and possibly Page Co (near
Luray, VA and the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.) BELLIS/BELLISFELT
were in Fallowfield Twp. Washington Co PA, which is the west bank of the
Monongahela River in the late 1780's. It's relatively clear that some
BELLIS were in Washington Co protecting the frontier during the war, but I
have a sense that there was movement out of NJ into VA prior to the outbreak
of the war, say around the 1760's maybe.

Roz and John and others....I am having a similar problem as Roz....I know
the Rightmire family was in Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, and middlesex
Counties in New Jersey from about 1730 on...My branch went to Loudoun and
Monongalia Counties in Virginia...then dispersed to Ohio, Kentucky and
other points west. Not sure when they went to Virginia but know some were
their as early as 1785. My question is did New Jersey men go to New York to
enlist and could some of the men listed on the Fort Klock New York web site
be from New Jersey ??? And was their a migration from New Jersey into
Virginia around the time of the Revolutionary War ? Thanks for any
Help...Alice
