Notes |
- The first appearance of this David Finley in Augusta County is in 1786 when he appears on the tax list with John Finley in George Moffatt's area (John Moffatt is shown on Hildebrand's map of Beverly Manor with 491 acres on Middle River acquid 1739). David also appears on tax list with John in 1787 and is listed as "self and son David." There are no other records for a David Finley prior to this time.
On March 9 1791 David and Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of Joseph filed intent to wed (Chalkley 2:295) and the marriage was solemnized 10 March 1791 by Rev. Archibald Scott (Col. Thomas Hughart, "Marriage Records of Augusta Co., VA, 1785-1813, 1970, p. 12).
David received all his father's land (Augusta County WB 7:404). David subsequently patented 110 acres next to John Finley's land, 18 November 1791, in which he was referred to as "assignee of John Finley," (VSL, grant #24, Reel 90:385). d wife, Elizabeth, transferred his patent plus 76 (?) acres of John Finley's to settle debts with John Shields
(husband of sister, Margaret) and James Finley (Augusta Co. D of T 1-A:122).
In 1794 they sold what appeared to be all remaining property ... 648 acres, 3 parcels of 300, 238 and 110 acres (Augusta Co. DB 28:268). No further records for David in Augusta County, nor has he been found elsewhere to date.
There is some indication David may have gone to Montgomery County, KY (formed from Clark County 1797). Family records of Annabel Wesson, 5555 Montgomery Drive, Santa Rosa, CA give the names of 4 siblings born there between 1792 and 1802.y include John, Joseph Wilson (David's wife's father was Joseph Wilson), Thankful Sallie (David's mother was Thankful) and Ebenezer. In addition, one of Mrs. Wesson's letters includes a reference to a cousin, Sam Berry. When David sold out the last of his Augusta County property in October 1794, Jas Berry was a witness (DB 28:268).
