Augusta County, Virginia Ancestors

An American Adventure

Frame - The Frame family of Augusta County, Virginia migrated through West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and from there fanned out through the nation. James Frame and wife Jane were in Augusta County by 1749; James died shortly thereafter. Their sons James, John, and William each raised large families. The focus here is on Patriot Jeremiah Frame and his wife Elizabeth Magill, who removed to Kentucky in 1784. • Frame Index

Magill - A member of one of the area's Scotch-Irish families, John Magill was born about 1725 in Augusta County, Virginia, but joined with his children in a Westward migration after the Revolution. He died in Lincoln County, Kentucky in 1816. Daughter Elizabeth Magill married Patriot Jeremiah Frame and raised a family in Fayette and Bourbon counties in Kentucky. • Magill Index

Moore - "Peter Mohr (Moore) of nearby Falling Springs land" has been identified as the father of Jacob Moore and Rebeckah Moore. Rebeckah married Adam Patterson in 1805. Both Moore children removed to Licking County, Ohio around 1810. Others have asserted that Peter Moore had two other children: John, born about 1779 and Polly, born about 1874. John Moore may have married Mary Patterson, a sister of Adam Patterson, and also moved to Licking County. Further research into the Moore or Mohr family in both Augusta County, Virginia and Licking County, Ohio is needed. • Moore Index

Son Adam Patterson became a pioneer in Licking County, Ohio in 1810, raising an extended family of thirteen children by three wives. • Patterson Index
