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.
Gravely family of henry county Virginia.
One of my ancestors was Katherine Norsworthy Biggs, born 1655 in Lower Norfolk Virginia.

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 Scottish ancestors left Ulster, Ireland and came to america in the late 1700's . Landing in Philadelphia and coming down the wagon road into the southern Piedmont of the Carolina's. Thank you for a very informative, interesting, and intriguing history lesson ! 👍
Hairston's were a huge family in Patrick County, they held prominent positions. I did some research on the GWR snd it was an Infian waring path, only wide enough for walking. Thrn it widen for horses, then wagons etc
The Hairston's are said to be the largest family in the country.
An excellent read- Wandering in Strange Lands by Morgan Jenkins
Excellent!
What offshoot of the Great Wagon Road would have run from Roanoke to Lewisburg to Charleston WV?
I'm not sure what timeline you are looking at, but a route did not leave from Roanoke that traveled directly to the Lewisburg area until the mid-18th century. The first known route that we are aware of departs near Cow Pasture River and cuts across to the west. Curious to know what timeline you are researching. Thank you so much for the question and I hope you Enjoy Your Journey to the Past!
Hi. I went to high school in Davidson county in Welcome. North Davidson high. I graduated in 1984. So I bet it's change a lot. I left N.C. in 2011 and explored Puerto Rico and the U. S. From east to west and North and South. I settled in Gloucester. MA. About 30 miles North of Boston on an island. .it's the place where Perfect storm was filmed. I'm friends with the guys brother that Mark Wahlberg played. But anyway that story is from here But I still miss my home ,I miss where you are in this video. That you for this and you're channel. I hope to see some new vids from ya. Have a good day. Zabeian
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.
I recently researched the Charles City County militia in 1756 and I remember a James Hockaday was listed on May 21st. Much of the colonial court records in New Kent County are destroyed. I would suggest the Vestry Books C.G.Chamberlayne published these in 1935 entitled The Vestry Books of Blisland Parish, New Kent and James City Counties.
And in catawba you have multiple germans families that are buried in 1700s Cabarrus lincoln but was under different county back then
Depending on the date of burial, Lincoln County formed in 1779, Tryon 1768, Rowan 1753, Anson 1750.
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!?
Majority of the early arrivals (1700) in Manakin Town were French Huguenot refugees who were former merchants and craftsmen that agreed on sailing to Virginia for the promise of land. The ship records would tell us more, beginning with Mary Ann in July of 1700. Ironically, the Huguenots were allowed to set up their own colony, (for a while) and indentured servants who escaped from their masters during this period, would run for Manakin Town.
I'm not sure if you follow our website, but we recently began an investigation into Manakin Town and the documentation surrounding Indentured Servants and Slavery. I'll try and include a link to that article here. piedmonttrails.com/2024/08/18/interesting-discoveries-in-manakin-town-virginia-1700-1711/
I have tracked my family to Washington county in the late 1700s but Iv hit a block wall
If you would like to share more info, we can try and help.
@@piedmonttrails the last generation that I'm certain of is John (Manuel?) Potter - he owned property on roane Creek in Washington county and was buried there - he was from Rowan NC, father of Abraham "Abram" Potter- born in NC moved to SW Virginia Breaks area, father of Richard Potter from KY VA border area buried in the breaks interstate park.......one genealogy site had names all the way back to new haven colony (but the times and sure did really line up and a couple other sites didn't have that same info so I lean toward that not being fact lol) if there is a better way for me to communicate with you let me know thank you
@@Potter1875 We have several Potter Family files here at the Attic. I can remember at least two branches that lived in Rowan County, NC during the 1750 decade and later migrated to TN after 1780. I think most of the Potter members we have on file, migrated to Georgia after the American Revolutionary War. Feel free to email us at contact@piedmonttrails.com if you like.
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.
Hi and Thank you so much for your question. We have several books and documents about Blackbeard and the men who sailed with him. Can you give us the name you're interested in by commenting here, or feel free to send an email to us. contact@piedmonttrails.com
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.
Old Germantown Road in Warmsprings?
Utilizing the NC Land Grants is a fantastic way to research early families along the Yadkin River. nclandgrants.com We also have thousands of family files on hand here at the Attic. What surnames are you searching for?
@piedmonttrails Johann HeinrichSeitz(JOhn Henry Sides) and his wife Dorothy Felsinger) arrived in 1738 in Philadelphia on the Queen Elizabeth. Died in Mecklenberg Co NC in 1766. I am showing his son Andrew involved in an indenture documents in NC with his wife but can't figure out how or when they emmigrated
@@christinalessels8348 Allow me to look into these surnames further. I believe John Henry Sides lived near the Catawba River.
