Year ago, I was told of a Va "DISTRICT "court land suit abstracted in Chalkley's "Cronicles of the Scotch-Irish in Augusta Co, Va" VOL. 2, and months later, our own Barbara Marsh sent me George Brown's deposition of 1798, about what happened at, now, Weirton, WV IN 1773. Basically, John, OR James, Campbell had an improvement of cabin and corn at Weirton, in 1773,and a tennent occupying the crop. Finding tennent gone, John Sappington [SR-JR?],WM WEST, and Jousha McQueen occupied the cabin. Land right being held by muscle, the Campbell's tried to drive out boys away, when George Brown, AND OTHERS OF our Md colony arrivied, and drove off the Campbell's. 1773. By 1798, it was a suit stored with Va district land suits 400 miles+ away at Staunton, Va. Never knew who the Campbell's were, but through the miracles of the Internet, and www.usgenweb 'STATE ARCHIVES SEARCH ENGINE" WV BROOKE search [and I recommend the 1810 BROOKE CO census, with no McQueens's, but many they knew, and left behind in 1787.
