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. 
 
Thanks, Julius (Tim) Spradling
