A lot of Okie's ancestors on her father's side of the family were from Old Augusta County, Virginia. The McGILL's stretched down into Tennessee. We are finding out that the HULL/HOHL ancestors came down to Virginia from Lancaster & York (now Adam) Counties, Pennsylvania.

The CAMERON Family of Virginia...

THE CAMERON FAMILY -- Written By Maria Boys Cochran Sterrett who died October 31, 1920

The first of this family, who came to America, was Dr. John Cameron who was a son of Cameron of Fassifern, a grandson of Sir Evan Dhu Cameron, and a nephew of Lochiel, the last chief of the Cameron Clan. One of Campbell's best poems "Lochiel" describes Sir Lockiel just before his defeat at the battle of Culloden.

Geography of Old Augusta County...

This is for ALL those family genealogists out there doing research in the area of "Old Augusta County", Virginia. Lyman Chalkley diligently extracted and published a compilation of the original court records of Augusta County from 1745-1800. There are three (3) Volumes out there. We did a Google search online for Chalkley's "Chronicles of Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia" -- finding a transcription of it online at Rootsweb. There was another place where you could buy the hardback books (Vol. I, II, III) for a price of $135. Maybe someday! BUT... for now we think - www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley - is the quickest, easiest way for researching "Old" Augusta County, Virginia records.
