    Notes:

    My husbamd and I spent some time in Virginia last year and have found two earlier wives for Samuel Yeargan. I descend from the first wife, Anne Booth. Please feel free to add this information to that which I sent you below. I have also proven that Samuel Yeargain did not have the first Methodist Chapel in Virginia, as stated by editor in travel journal of Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury but that it was in fact just across the state line into Northampton County., North Carolina, on the north side of the Roanoke River, the part which became Warren County. 2-3 years before Yeargain wrote his will. His land, house and chapel (sites) are now under Lake Gaston which was formed by backing up the Roanoke River. Yeargain was also in charge of road which abutted your Eaton lands.
