[Footnote 78: Augusta county, and also Frederick county, were
formed in 1738, out of Orange county which, prior to that date,
had embraced all of Virginia beyond the Blue Ridge. The bounds of
Frederick were defined as follows: the Potomac on the north, the
Blue Ridge on the east, and on the south and west a line drawn
from the head spring of the Hedgman creek to the head spring of
the Potomac; all beyond this line, comprising the immense western
territory belonging to Virginia, constituted Augusta county. The
earliest Frederick county court was held at Winchester, Nov. 11,
1743; and that of Augusta county was held at Beverley's Mill Place,
now Staunton, Dec. 9, 1745.]
[Footnote 79: The notes of the survey of land, on the 22d July,
1749, for Richard Barnes, and that of November 12, 1749, for Edward
Hogan, were recorded on sheets of foolscap paper, and are bound
up with other early miscellaneous papers of George Washington,
preserved in the Department of State. They are here given nearly in
their chronological place.]
