One who was born in the Shenandoah Valley, who has dwelt there during the greater portion of hislife to the present, ‘ and who is by blood three-fourths German or German—Swiss, may doubtless be excused for writing aboutthe German Ele- ment in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He may also be excused, perhaps, for regarding such a subject as naturally attractive, and for believing that it is well worthy of careful investigation. As a matter of fact, the field has proved most /7 fruitful: so much so that the writer has been surprised at the abundance and wealth of material that may be secured for historical, economical, sociological, political, religious, linguis- tic, and even literary studies. He hastens to say, however, for the reassurance of the reader, that he has not attempted to follow out all these lines of investigation in the present treatise: what he has attempted is merely a plain, unvarnished picture of the people in their homes, in their churches, in their schools, in their fields and workshops, and in the larger re- lations of church and state as affected by peace and war. -

Pioneers to Ol' Lawrence County
Pioneers To Ol’ Lawrence County Volume I: The Northern Families A Collaboration By Patricia (Milligan) Sproat And Tom Milligan I Introduction: We have found it wonderfully amazing how the lives of Individuals find their way in life. No matter when or where a person comes from, at some point in their lives they become fixed in history with another individual or group of people or both, with similar goals. Such is the case with the people we are going to research in this document. There are 9 different families of individuals we are going to list and tell the story of their Pioneering travel history from their individual origins through the end and after the Revolutionary War in Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina all the way to Reeds Creek, Missouri Territory of 1816. This is the Pioneering history of the following family’s: Volume I: The Northern Families The Daniel Culp Family of Annapolis, Maryland The Ruddell Family of Frederick County, Virginia The John Milligan Family of Berkeley County, Virginia and son, John Milligan II Volume II: The Southern Families The James Jeffrey and Jane Mason Family of Old Dominion Virginia The Jehoiada Jeffrey Family (Son of Ol’ Jim and Jane Mason) The Ware (Weir) Family of North Carolina The Ragsdale Family The Nathan Langston Family of North Carolina The Sams Family of Illinois All of these family’s represent two groups. Those who migrated west from the Northern Shenandoah Valley over the Blue Ridge and those that also originally came from the Western Shores of the Chesapeake Bay around Alexandria, Virginia but traveled the entire length of the Shenandoah Valley to North Carolina and crossed Southern Appalachia from there.
