SECTION XIV

MISCELLANEOUS DATA

     The material in this section is taken from will-books, deed-books, marriage lists, and other miscellaneous sources of information.  The given names which are grouped under the various surnames are arranged alphabetically, and are numbered in consecutive order, except where all the given names belong to a single household.  All statements following a given number and ending at the next higher number belong to the name following the first number.  Surnames are ordinarily spelled according to the usage of the present time, but unusual or doubtful names follow the original spelling.  In those instances where the documentary spelling differs from the present, the former is also given.  The spelling of given names usually follows that which is found in the records.  In certain instances, two or more persons named John or Mary may be one and the same individual, are probably are.  But since the evidence in hand is not conclusive, we have thought it best to treat such names as those of distinct people.
     The special abbreviations used in the present section are these:
 
admr - administrator
Aug. - Augusta county
b - born
bro. - brother
c - about or nearly
C - children
d - died
dau. - daughter
dy_ died in youth
g'son - grandson
k - killed in battle
m - married
New P. - New Providence
n. c. - no children
unknown - whereabouts unknown
Rbg - Rockbridge county
s - unmarried
post. - unborn at death of father
w - wife

     A date without special mention, as in "John - 1775," means we have nothing more than the solitary fact that the John is incidentally spoken of in connection with the year 1775.  A date followed by c, as "1816c," means that the date is approximate and not necessarily exact.  A date preceded by by, as "by 1810," means that the occurrence preceded 1810, perhaps by a considerable number of years.  The question mark is used in cases of uncertainty.  Thus, "C(?)": means that the children whose names following semicolon appear to be of the couple just previously mentioned.  "John (?) Smith" means that a man, known to be a Smith, is believed to have had the given name John.  The word "others," coming just after a list of children, means that there were still other children in the family, but that their given names are unknown.  Such a name as "Mary Kirk White," refers to a widow, whose first husband was a White.
