Peter Weaver (Jr.) (1762), 1295 acres. CC were Andrew and William Carpenter. Andrew was the brother-in-law of Peter Weaver. William was the brother of Andrew.
Tilman Weaver of Prince William Co. (1747), 400 acres in the Little Fork. CC were Frederick Fishback and William Tapp. The Fishback family had a long history in the Little Fork. Hardly any land in this area was surveyed for the Germans without Frederick Fishback being involved. He gives the appearance of being a senior mentor of the other Germans. In 1747, Fauquier County had not yet been formed.
Two chain carriers for Michael Wilhite in 1763 were Enoch Hill and William Knight. No known relationships to the applicant.
Two chain carriers for John Wilhoit in 1757 were John Cheek and Martin Trew. No known relationship to the applicant.
John Wiyland, assignee of Adam Barlow (1758), and surveyed in 1761. CC were Adam Barler & Zacharias Smith. John Wayland married Catherine Broyles. Zacharias Smith was married twice, the first time, it is believed, to Ann Elizabeth Fishback, and the second to Sarah Ann Watts, again without positive proof. Adam Barlow married Mary Smith, the sister of Zacharias Smith. Thus, the two chain carriers were brothers-in-law but unrelated to John Wayland.
John Yeager (son of Adam) (1753), 130 acres. CC were George Moyer, Jr., and Jacob Barlor. John Yeager married Mary Wilhoit, but may not have been married yet in 1753, as he was only 21. George Moyer, Jr., married Sarah Unknown. Jacob Barlor married Mary Unknown.
John Yeager (1764), 183 acres. CC were James Hinson and Nicholas Wilhoit. John and Nicholas were now brother-in-laws.
Christopher Yewell (Yowell)(1748), 80 acres. CC were David and James Yewell. Self-evident.
David Yewell (1748), 53 acres. CC were Christopher and James Yewell. Turn about is fair play.
Frederick Zimmerman (1764), 27 acres. CC were John Ballenger, Morgan Murrah.
Frederick Zimmerman (1764), 80 acres. CC were Conrad Kabler & Thomas Bryan. This land was adjacent to Edward Ballenger, Sr.
According to my notes, Edward Ballenger, Sr., had son John; daughter Margery, who married Stokely Towles; a daughter Agatha, who married a Kilbee; a daughter Mary, who married Michael Wilhite; and other children. The relationship of Edward Ballenger to Andrew Ballenger, who was sued by Spotswood when Spotswood sued many members of the Second Colony, is unknown. Edward Ballenger, Sr., generally lived in the Mt. Pony area with Zimmerman, Kabler, Bloodworth, and other Germans.
