Need any info anyone can give me on how to find adoptions or hiring of children from one family to another, such  as Aker, Akers, Acre, Acres to a Hale family between 1800-1820. Probably in one of these Virginia counties: Grayson, Washington, or Wythe. The adoptions or hiring could be across county lines.

 

My name is John Hale, my gg grandfather – John Hale could have been born in one of these Virginia counties: Grayson, Wyhte, or Washington. His oldest son, Wlliam stated in a document that John was born about 1808 near Avington, VA. I could not find Avington, but I did find Abingdon, Washington County, VA, but no proof of John’s birth there. My gg grandfather is shown in the 1850 census for Perry County, KY and the 1860 census for Mogoffin County, KY, both of these census show John with his wife Sarah “Sally” Fawbush and children.

 

I had a yDNA test performed at Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) and the only Hale I match at the Hale DNA Project is a know Hale cousin. FTDNA notified me of another match with a person with the surname Aker. I didn’t understand this at first, then I discovered that my known cousin also matched this person with the Aker surname. This make me think that my gg grandfather is not a Hale, but an Aker who was adopted by a Hale family or hired by a Hale family and changed his name.

 

Thanks for any help.

I have just created a website for my Barnetts who migrated to Virginia from Ireland.
I plan to add more documents at a later date, but need to get it going.

it is: http://www.barnetts-r-us.com
Right now It may not come up in a search.  I found it by Googling:
"Barnetts in Kentucky".   Please take a look at it!

Seeking info on my gg grandfather (John Hale). He was possibly born 1808-1820 in one of these Viginia counties; Grayson, Washington, or Wythe. He is show in the 1850 census for Perry County, KY with his wife Sally (Sarha Fawbush, born about 1822 in Sullivan County, TN), and the 1860 census for Magoffin County, KY. His son William was born about1842 in Russel County, Virginia. Thanks for any help.

I just discovered I made a mistake!! I mixed up generations!! James Johnson was born about 1714 but no idea about anything else. Ann Norman was his daughter in law. I am trying to find out about Virginia in 1714. Thanks!

I am not sure where to start although I have written here before. I have received some records that state that my father's family goes back about 6 generations in and around Culpeper, Va. The first one I have a record for is James Johnson
b about 1714. He married Ann Norman about 1770. They had 10 children. Any ideas about how I might find out where HE came from? I live in Oregon. I am beginning this process and am curious about so many things but if someone gives me a direction I will run with it. Thank you.

My father's family, the Johnsons, are all from Virginia.  Some live there now.  My father's name was Clarence E. Johnson b. 1933 and his parents were Charles E. Johnson and Carrie Virginia.  I am in the beginning of this process.  My dad grew up in Culpeper, VA.
