Letcher Co. KY is right across the state line from SW Virginia. Kentucky became a commonwealth in 1792.

Unfortunately finding a primary source a couple of hundred years old doesn't guarantee the legitimacy of information, as much as we'd like to believe it does :) Janice Charlie Weaver wrote: > Val: Good many ADAMS, CAUDILL, etc, in Old Rowan Co, > including parts that became Wilkes and Ashe Co.
