Am looking for any information on David SPRADLING that appeared in the 1840 VA Census in Lexington in Rockbridge County, VA, as well as the Personal Property Tax (PPT) Listing in 1841. He had been living in Albemarle County, VA in the 1830s. He was in Rockbridge with his Wife, Julia BECKs, Son Alex 10 and Daughter Mary, just born in Rockbridge (information from the 1850 VA Census where she is 10 and living with her Aunt, David's Sister, in Albemarle). Perhaps David and family were heading out West on the James River - Kanawha Turnpike, but I never find him again (PPT, Land Tax, Deeds, Wills, Court records, etc.). David's Wife and two Children, Thomas, my Great Grandfather, and Susan, are in Albemarle in the 1860 VA Census, all identified as SPRADLINGs. If I can find David alive in 1848, when Thomas was born, I can prove I am really a SPRADLING.
