re: In the Rockbridge Co. VA, Marriage Bond Index 1778-1801 there is the record of marriage between Martha Adair
( dau of Benjamin Adair )
and Daniel LYLE (the Lyle family were from Browndod, Parish of Inver, co Antrim, N.Ireland).
Bondsman was Samuel Houston and witnesses were George Adair and Samuel Houston.

Another Adair who was mentioned as being in Rockbridge County, VA, was the daughter of William Adair (Wm. dc1763).
Sarah Adair m. Roger Keys and after he died she married Samuel McSpadden and they had a son Samuel b. 10 Oct 1756 near Lexington, Rockbridge Co. VA.

Samuel McSpadden came to America possibly with the LYLE family from Ireland. The Lyle family purchased land in the Borden tract in what is now Rockbridge Co. VA.

There was an Elizabeth Lyle who m. Samuel Ramsey and a dau, Margaret m. George ADAIR, and a son Samuel Ramsey m. Mary Keyes.

The Snoddy family was also from Inver Parish.

Browndod in Inver Parish, co Antrim, N. Ireland,
is just north of "Lylestown" which may be in Raloo Parish.

Place-searches with maps can now be made on the internet of the Griffith Valuation.

Would the Lyle and related families have emigrated on ships commanded by Captain James Patton ? James Patton may have had grants in "Beverley" tract ?

Is this publication available somewhere online? I found where I started making a note of this thread, years ago, as I had Bradys on the list, a line with a strong possibility of tying in....I'm just missing one link. I have tons Anne's, John's and Hugh's in the descendency.

I think I copied it at Cornell University, and I can't find it now, but it does appear to be an "electronic resource":

Maybe you'll be able to track it down somewhere.

Sorry I've mislaid the copy I made - filing is not my strong point!
