| Notes for George Quesenberry |
Montgomery Co. Deeds record 5 Feb 1787, Geo. Quesinberry sold to Frederick Slinker for 15 pounds, 50 acres on so. side of Greasy Creek branch of the New River
Information on this family is from John P. Alderman's "Carroll 1765-1815 The Settlements", unless noted otherwise. George and his family settled in Grayson Co. on the south side of Greasy Creek between 1777 and 1782. If his son Frederick was correct in giving his place of birth as Bedford Co., George may have lived there circa 1771-1773 and been married there. (Martha's father Christopher Slinker died in Bedford Co. in 1793.)
There were probably other children who died young, considering the gap of 5 years between the births of Moses and Joseph and the 9 years between the births of William and George. Another possible daughter is Catherine, "Cathy Quesenberry" ordered to appear before the court in Montgomery Co., VA, in 1808 to show cause why her children should not be bound out. There has been no other record found of this Cathy Quesenberry. But rather than a daughter of George, she could possibly be a teenage daughter of Moses or Frederick, or may have been married to and abandoned by one of George's sons who left the area, purportedly for Tennessee, in 1807 (Joseph, Thomas, and William.)
The "? Moses" listed as father of George is a placeholder. See his Notes. |
| Notes for Martha ("Patsy") Slinker |
| Grayson County Deed Book #1, p. 167, lists George Quesenberry and Martha his wife sold 115 acres of land on Greasy Creek to Ephraim Dickens. |
