Family Migrations XIII

Up next the families Barlow, Land, Sumter and Trisler.

Barlow: Thomas Barlow left London for Virginia by 1719. He resided in Hanover, Albemarle and Caroline Counties. Thomas' son Henry opted to leave Virginia for the Kentucky country about 1789, where he settled first in Fayette County, then Woodford and finally Scott. His daughter Elizabeth married John Land. England, Virginia, Kentucky

Land: Although one source has the Lands as natives of Moravia, England is probably the family's native country. Thomas Land was born in Virginia and resided in what became Louisa and later Albemarle County. Thomas and part of the family moved to Wilkes Co., North Carolina in 1778. Son John remained in Virginia and opted for Kentucky after the Revolutionary War. John ended up in that part of Fayette County that became Jessamine in 1799. Betsy, John's daughter, married Willis Gulley and died in Indiana. England (Moravia?), Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana

Sumter: William Sumter, an Englishman, settled in Hanover [later Louisa and Albemarle] County, Virginia. Daughter Anna married Thomas Land and probably died in Kentucky, or perhaps North Carolina. Anna's brother, Thomas, became a partisan leader and general in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. England, Virginia, Kentucky/North Carolina

Trisler: Dr. Peter Trisler came to Maryland by way of his native Wittenberg, Germany in 1780 and established residence at Hagerstown. Dr. Trisler moved to what became Jessamine Co., Kentucky in 1791. Susan Trisler, the doctor's daughter, married Martin Cawby Sr. and died in Johnson Co., Indiana. Germany, Maryland, Kentucky, Indiana
