Foster, Thomas
Below is one possibility for this man (source Larry Cockerham):
About 1715, born Essex Co., Virginia, the son of John Foster (b, abt 1688 Gloucester Co., VA - d. after 1760 in Orange Co., VA -s/o Robert Foster and Elizabeth Garnett) and Isabella Golding (m. 1713 Essex Co., VA, d/o John Golding Jr. and Cassandra Tucker).
1721 - moved with his parents to a plantation on the south side of the Po River in Spotsylvania Co., VA. His father patented land for 1000 acres in eastern Orange County on Riga Rund just south of what is now Unionville, VA. This land was sold by Thomas and his father, Feb. 1744, to brother-in-law James Garnett of Essex Co., VA.
Prior to 1744 - married Ann Garnett 23 May 1743, Middlesex County, Virginia (d/o Thomas Garnett and Elizabeth Muscoe of Essex Co., VA).
1741 - had a land grant of 400 acres surveyed in Spotsylvania Co. amongst the branches of the Mattapony River. Sold this land in 1744.
1744 - Was of St. Mark's Parish, Orange Co., VA. Leased 150 acres on the north side of the Rapidan River in what is now Culpeper Co., VA.
Thomas Foster Jr.:
1750 (July 4); born in Orange Co., Virginia
1774 (Oct 8) married Mary Sawyer in Orange Co., Virginia (she died 1774)
1776 (15 Dec) enlisted in Capt. Smith's company, 4th Virginia Regiment of Foot, commanded by Col. John Nevill. He received a land warrant (no. 4086) for 100 acres for 3 year's service in the continental line. The warrant was reportedly signed by Patrick Henry and Thomas Meriweather.
1777 (25 Feb) married Frances Jones (b. 8 Jun 1757, Orange Co., VA, d. 4 Dec 1803 Wilkes Co., NC, d/o Hugh Jones and Elizabeth Morton) Her brothers, Morton, Benjamin and George married sisters of Thomas Foster Jr.

One of these two Thomas's is possibly the one in later Wythe Co., VA who is listed in Herbert's company in 1774. The problem is children being born in Orange Co., VA in the 1780s.

Unidentified
1771 - Barkly Green in William Herbert's Company, Botetourt Co., VA

Hash, John ("Old")
Jeff Weaver: "John Hash who ended up on New River was by best guess born in Anne Arundel or Baltimore Co., MD, probably son of Darby Hash and Juda Iscar. "Old John" (ca. 1717-1784) lived in Baltimore County, Maryland until the mid-1750s (might be a bit later, I dont have the references in front of my face) when he lit out. His wife is widely reported to be Rebecca Anderson (who most of us don't really believe). His son (sometimes reported to be a brother) William Hash married Ellender Osborne, generally believed to be a daughter of Ephraim Osborne and thus sister of Captain Enoch Osborne. There are reams and reams of erroneous materials on the Hash family on the internet.
The man on Herbert's militia list is likely to be "Old" John Hash. He had a son John and we think and this man could be him, but there are no records in Montgomery Co., VA for this second John, so I suspect he either died young or did not live on New River. However, see the 1803 entry under Thomas Hash where he is sold land by a John Hash and wife Dosha.
1. - Born 1717 perhaps in Baltimore Co., Maryland. Parents: probably Darby Hash and Juda Iscar. Lived in Baltimore County until the mid-1750s or later.
2. - About 1742 - Perhaps married Rebecca Anderson (1720-1763) d/o John Anderson (b. before 1694, Hunterdon Co., NJ) and Rebecca Horton. (disputed).
3. - About 1764 - Married second, Elizabeth Sturgill (b. 1735) d/o James Sturgill (1695-1753 Orange Co., VA) and Ann Blackstone (1700-1763 Orange Co., VA). Note the web of family connections: Elizabeth was sister to James Sturgill (m. Ann Callaway) who was the founder of the New River Sturgill family. Ann Callaway's brother Thomas is the founder of the Ashe County Callaway family (he married May Baker, a sister of Andrew Baker). Both the Callaways and Bakers also had marriages to people who came from Louisa Co., VA with last names shared by the Melungeon people (i.e. Mary Callaway, sister of Ann m. Henry Bunch and Andrew Baker m. Mary Bolling). One of Andrew Baker's children, Bolling Baker is said to have married Aracoma, the daughter of the murdered Shawnee chief Cornstalk. Cousins of the Callaways were an important mercantile family in Bedford, Amherst and Campbell Co., VA where they were also leaders in the Whig militia and were participants in the Transylvania Company and the founding of Boonesborough. The Bakers lived on what was Indian land in 1771.

Herbert, William
1. - 9 March 1732/3 Born Bristol, England. Parents: David Herbert and Martha
2. - December 18, 1758 married Sarah Fry in England. She was born about 1745, d. about 1785 in Montgomery (now Wythe) Co., VA.
3. - 20 Apr 1763 - Made an agreement with Col. Chiswell to come to America to work the lead mines in today's Wythe Co., VA. "Herbert indicated he was to act as "manager or conductor" of their "works for smelting and refining ores and metals in the said colony to which art or mystery your orator (Herbert) had been regularly brought up." Also coming over with William Herbert were his father, David Herbert, Sr., his brother David Herbert, Jr., his brother-in-law John Jenkins (who married Wm's sister Mary), Roger Oates, Charles Devereaux and Evan Williams. David Herbert, John Jenkins, Charles Devereaux, Roger Oats and Evan Williams are all mentioned as Tories in Draper manuscript 5QQ68 (1780).
4. - 1769 - Made a Justice of the Peace for Augusta Co., VA
5. - 1769 - One of the founders of Boiling Springs Presbyterian Church on Reed Creek
6. - 1770 - on the formation of Botetourt Co., he was made a Justice of the Peace and a Captain of the militia.
7. - 1774 - Captain of Fincastle county militia in Lord Dunmore's War. Some of his men fought at the Battle of Point Pleasant, while others stayed behind and helped guard the Clinch River frontier with Daniel Boone ( See narrative for details). At first there was resistance to his leadership by his men, but Herbert himself led his militia company in the Battle of Point Pleasant. After the Battle he was engaged under Col. Fletcher in construction of a fort at the site of the Battle (did not go with Andrew Lewis into Ohio).
8. - Died 1776 in Fincastle (now Wythe) Co., VA. His death was suspicious and the subject of rumors afterwards. His wife married a Mr. Day soon before 1776 was out, and Mr. Day insisted on his wife getting her dower and may have attempted to cut off the children. Since both William Herbert and his children were Tories, Revolutionary politics fed the rumors (Jeff Weaver).
Son William is on the 1782 Montgomery Co., VA personal tax list: 1 tithe, 0 slaves, 2 horses, 6 cattle. His order on the tax list is in the midst of the Quakers in what is now Carroll Co., VA (between James Pendry and Charles Davis and not far from Nathan Ward).
Children: Joanna 1762 (d. young); Martha about 1764; William 1765 (d. 1835 Ashe (now Alleghany) Co., NC m. 1787 in SC, Mary Elizabeth Humphries 1768-1835)(note: Dunlop's Worldconnect database has much more on him); Johanna 1771 (d. 1855 Little Reed Island Creek, Barren Springs, Wythe Co., VA m.

Jones, Stephen
I am stumped.
About 1735 born in Wales?
1774 - a George Jones served on the Clinch frontier with Lieutenant John Cox's (Looney's company) during Lord Dunmore's War. He is associated with Doswell Rogers, the Wallings, Cornelius Roberts and Micajah Bunch on Looney's pay list.
1781, 1783, 1785 - Enoch Osborne's militia roster; delinquent 3 Feb 1783.
1782 Montgomery Co., VA personal tax list: 1 tithe, 0 slaves, 4 horses, 7 cattle - his name is near the Penningtons, David Collins and Stephen and Jonathan Osborne's.
1795 - died Grayson Co., VA
Children: Samuel 1760 (d. 1824 m. Celia Creech (1764-1853)) Note: this Samuel often proposed to be a child of Samuel Jones and Agnes Shepherd.
Note: The Baptist minister Vinson (Vincent) Jones appears on the 1771 William Herbert militia company roster. He is later a justice of the peace in Wilkes (Ashe) Co., NC. He came from Rowan Co., NC where he was on the 1768 tax list near Daniel Boone and Morgan Bryant. He may have been born in New York as there is a Vincent Jones (m. Ruth Tooker) there of about the right age to be his father (odd coincidence if not a relative, that first name, otherwise).
Jones, William
Welsh names...I am stumped...
About 1758. He was born.
1771 - William Herbert's Company. George Jones is next to him on the list and he is near the Keiths and Joseph Wallen. George served on the Clinch frontier during Lord Dunmore's War with Lieut. John Cox.
1774 - Lord Dunmore's War. In William Herbert's Company, Fincastle Co., VA
1782, On Elk Creek militia roster

Keith, George
About 1749, born in Virginia. Parents: Cornelius Keith (b. 1715 Scotland, d. 1808 Pickens Co., SC s/o Cornelius Keith and Elizabeth Johnston or s/o James Keith b. Scotland) and Mary Bohanon (b. abt 1720)(they m. in Pittsylvania now Henry Co., VA and had slaves). Mary was Cornelius' second wife, he first married abt 1742 Juda Thompson. The Keiths came to Pittsylvania Co., VA from the Roanoke River, Brunswick Co., VA.

He moved to VA about 1742. He left a will in Lunenburg (or Halifax) county 1748. Note: The places and time of his immigration from NJ suggest that David may have been a victim of the Coxe Affair (someone please check NJ court records)
2. - 1758 Clement was in Col Abraham Maury's Company, Halifax Co., VA, James Dillard Captain. Also in the company were John Blevins Sr. and Jr., William Blevins Sr. and James Blevins (relatives of his wife).
