INDEX

[15] In 1751 Augustine moved his wife and children to the part of Lunenburg County from which Bedford was formed two years later. He was a sergeant in the French and Indian War in 1758 and upon his return he took an active part in politics and civic affairs of Bedford County from its formation until his death.

Between the dates 1761 and 1795 he bought and conveyed several thousand acres of land and prior to the date of his will, he had deeded each of his children an large plantation, as well as a number of slaves and other personal property. As the children prospered, they too added more acreage until they owned land for miles around.

Augustine was a Sergeant in the "French and Indian Wars" in 1758 (Henning's Statues, Vol VII pp 204-206 Virginia Colonial Militia, by W. A. Crozier, page 69). The records of Bedford County show that he took a prominent part in the political and civic affairs of the county from its formation until his death in 1795.
