Md. ca. 1750 Margaret, daughter Joseph Strother of King George County, VA. He may have been the Thomas McClanahan, chain carrier for George Washington, when, aged 17 years, he surveyed Lord Fairfax?s Shenandoah Valley lands in 1749. Thomas Marshall was the other surveyor (from memory ? whose memory?) Fauquier County, VA, Historical Bulletin: Account book of Capt.

(Thomas) McClanahan for his pay and that of the guards for conducting drafted soldiers to Winchester, L 254. Fauquier County Court Minute Bk. #1, pg. 1: A Commission of the Peace bearing date May 7, 1759: Thomas McClanahan among the eighteen most influential men of the County, under Thomas Marshall. Journal of the House of Burgesses, pg. 21, dated September 21, 1759: ?The 32nd year of the reign of King George II, a petition that, being commander of a detachment of militia of Prince William County, who were ordered out to Fort George on the south branch, he was obliged to send out an express down to Henry Lee, Esq., commanding officer of the said militia of the said County, and was under the necessity of furnishing the express with one of his own horses, which died on the said journey, and praying to be allowed for the same, was presented and read.? (He was made Captain in 1750, after William Tebbs, see Fauquier Minute Bk. 1759, 160, pg. 190). Virginia Records, by Crozier, v. 5, pg. 96: Fauquier County, VA, Captain Thomas McClanahan September 27, 1759 ? June 26, 1761. 1753-?55 ? Prince William Order Bk., pg. 149: Thomas McClanahan, Pltf.

In 1761 he was on the list of William Edmonds as a tax-payer in Fauquier County. By virtue of six military warrants under the King of Great Britain by Proclamation of 1763, he received a patent of 300 acres of land in Fayette County, VA (later KY). Bk. 2, pg. 32; vol. G.

Collin?s Hist. of KY Court Records of Culpepper County; Auditor of Public Accounts, some of which may pertain to Thomas McClanahan, Jr. Because of the destruction of many Culpepper County records, we do not know of his Revolutionary War services, but see later warrants. In 1783 he began to pick up his military surveys in Kentucky, as is known by land records. Due to constant Indian harassment, surveys were often haphazardly made, resulting in overlapping, or ?shingle claims,? which later made for much litigation. Sue Watkins, or her daughter, Sue Roberts (Watkins) McCulloch (page 38) have proof that he served as a private in the 2nd Reg?t. of Gen. Washington?s Guards in 1777, under Lt. Col. Henry Lee. Baylor?s Troop was called ?The Lady Washington Dragoons? when the troop went into winter quarters at Valley Forge. Son, Thomas, was a private. In 1771 he gave the land for the first Baptist church in Culpepper near Mulkey Mountain ca. 1 mile from ?the first Washington,? as the natives call it, Rappahannock County, VA. It lasted two years, and was called ?Lower Carter?s Run Church? (Baptist Religious Herald, by Woodford B. Hackley). Boogher?s Gleanings of VA History, pg. 99: to Capt.

DATES: In the Julian calendar the year began March 25th, so if a child was born February 1, 1714, he would have been born in the 11th month; using the old calendar, he would have been born February 1, 1713; using the double date entry: February 1, 1713/14. The date we see for George Washington?s birthday is the corrected one; the change occurred in 1752, so there was a lapse of eleven days between dates, for the day after Sept 3rd was Sept 14th. Previous dates are referred to as O(ld) S(tyle); after 1752, as N(ew) S(tyle). Accomac records were not extensively searched. It was from Northampton in 1661/2. Northumberland was taken from York in 1648; York was formed in 1634 as an original shire. Westmoreland was taken from Northumberland in 1653; the migration was from the Jamestown-Williamsburg area, and the coast of Maryland. The area was and still largely is, a farming and forest area. The new lands were quickly taken over by the landed aristocracy and the King?s favorites. In Va. Magazine of History & Biography, by Lyon G. Tyler, v. 7, pg. 307: In Capt. Edmond?s Co., in the French & Indian War: Thomas McClanahan, Pvt., in the Va. Troops, 1761 (officers were elected in the militia). Capt. Edmond res. Fauquier County; most of his men were from there.
