Hi Teresa,
I've been researching my Pilcher family who came from Culpeper Co., VA to St. Louis. Joshua Pilcher being the fur trader who succeeded Manuel Lisa with the MO Fur Co. Similar to you, I began my search 25 years ago in an attempt to identify persons in old family letters - one dating back to 1827 in Grayson Co., Virginia.
Hi Teresa. Thanks for the suggestion. No, I haven't checked the tax lists. I think I have just looked at this brick wall for so long, and I needed fresh eyes to see things that I haven't. It has been years since I have done a survey of Heskett's on the census. I will definitely also be taking a look at Jefferson county. Thanks so much for the ideas!
