| NOTE 1: In the first known record of John he was called John Runying when he obtained land in Brocks Gap on |
| 13 Dec 1753. John may have been a minor (under the age of 21) at that date. |
| NOTE 2: This 1753 land purchase was a transfer of an apparent land grant made to a Jacob GOODPASTURE - |
| currently, the only known GOODPASTURE in America at that time. |
| NOTE 3: It appears that John may have left the Brocks Gap area in the spring of 1754 due to the onset of the French & |
| Indian War. If that is the case then he may not have returned until the early to mid-1760s. Where he went is unknown. |
| NOTE 4: John Runyon was ordained as a deacon of the Smiths Creek Baptist Church, near New Market, Virginia, on |
| 3 March 1781. Later John, also, served as a deacon for the Linville Creek Baptist Church south of Broadway, Virginia |

Note: This family may have moved to Greenbrier County, VA (now WV) shortly after their marriage. We have found a couple named Arnold and Mary Ford in Greenbrier County as early as May 1795. This couple appear to have had only 2 children: John (ca. 1804-1846) who married Mary A. ("Polly") Copenhaver (and had 10 children) and Daniel (ca. 1807-1857) who never married. Daniel's death record says that he was born in Rockingham County, Virginia. That information was supplied by his sister-in-law Polly.
