Thomas Draper born ca. 1760 somewhere in Virginia - these are my possibilities of the counties which existed in 1759:

Botetourt County formed in 1770 from southern Augusta County

Botetourt County tithables 1770-1771 - William Ingles' district - on the New River and the waters thereof on both sides as high as Sayer's:
  • William Beard - 1
  • John Draper - 3 
Fincastle County formed from Botetourt in 1772
Kentucky County formed from Fincastle in 1777
Rockbridge County formed from Botetourt & Augusta in 1777
Jefferson County formed from Kentucky  in 1780
Greenbrier Co. (WV) formed from Botetourt in 1778

1779 - Thomas Draper was a witness in defense of Charles McFadden when Charles was accused of killing his slave.

Thomas Draper married Priscilla/Drusilla Breeden Aug. 4, 1780 in Botetourt County. Charles McFadden was bondsmen at their marriage.  Were they related?

Botetourt Co. 1783-1822 personal property list - no Draper or Breden listed
Rockbridge Co. 1783 tax list - Abraham Draper 1 white male 4 cows
Shenandoah Co. 1783 tax list - Jane Breeding - 7 whites; James Breeding 9 whites & 2 blacks; no Draper listed

Rockbridge Co. 1790 census - destroyed
Botetourt Co. 1794 tax lists - no Draper or Breden appears
Botetourt Co. 1800 census - destroyed

this is so random that i came across this, but I'v hit a brick wall in my search from Benjamin Berryman Draper who was born circa 1772 in Botetourt County. He married a Priscilla Caton in 1800. Seeing as how Thomas Draper and Benjamin B Draper are the only Drapers we can find in Botetourt at the time, there has to be a connection....yes? You can find Benjamin B in the 1799personalA tax list in Botetourt.

Any ideas?

It may be that Thomas Draper (ca. 1755 - after 1788) was married prior to being married to Priscilla. He would be old enough to be Benjamin's father. Did Benjamin stay in Botetourt or did he move west?
