It's excellent that you're tackling this. There was a huge wave of indentured servitude early on around the time of the Great Migration and then most of the non-immigrant contracts pertained to orphans and admixed persons with lengthy terms or the option to re-indenture themselves. In fact, it was a way of life for some. There are quite a few authentic documents on Family Search (avoid transcriptions and abstracts because they are shortened). The output far outweighed the input, population wise. I encourage you to set the British Isles narrative aside and look closely at what actually occurred in Virginia.

Hoping and praying for you Piedmont Trails friends through this terrible calamity that's fallen on Western NC and Eastern TN.

I would do love to know how my Starnes ancestors got together with Daniel Boone in Kentucky, at least one died. I believe it was @ the battle of Blue Lick?

Salisbury NC quickly turned into a Red light district after this period. It was a fav of Andrew Jackson. John Louis Beard still has descendants here in Rowan county and they pronounce it like "bear" but w a "d" on the end. There's also a "Horah" street here in Salisbury... We pronounce it "hoo-rah". I've never actually known of anyone w that last name.

My family (the Michaels) came from Oberalbin Germany on the Rhine in 1738 into the Philadelphia Port; then into Lancaster where the first Michael is buried; then down The Great Wagon Rd. To Lexington, NC ; Davidson Co.

Wow, such a good web site. I grew up in Washington County, TN (Johnson City) and have been stunted on where the Deakins family migrated from. I had a hunch the link was the Watauga Land Grents, but this site is such a wonderful delight to find. Keep it up.

Thank you

Do you have any suggestions for books or other documents that may have more details on the Hockaday family? Came from Blisland Parish, Cornwall England to Blisland/New Kent County around the James River.

And in catawba you have multiple germans families that are buried in 1700s Cabarrus lincoln but was under different county back then

Multiple gragg and coffey family cemeteries among others that are married to those said have their own cemeteries

Thank you Carol, you are a treasure. I am a descendant of Richard Barnes of just north of Salisbury, NC .

What about the manakintown Virginia settlers , were they indentured servants and are their records of the those who were!?

I have tracked my family to Washington county in the late 1700s but Iv hit a block wall

I love your videos! You are so informative, fun and encourage more research! Thank you for all you do!

I'm searching for a person on Teach's crew. I just have no idea where to start digging. I found his name on a list in a book about pirates.

Thanks, listened with rapt attention as you descriptions painted vivid pictures. 2 days down stream..

Can you direct me to the research on families that settled near the Yadkin Rowan area. I have German families from PA to NC arriving in PA 1730s. Founding Organ Lutheran Families. I am interested in learning about their journeys.
