- Note: Whereas the ink in John Nash's account book has remained a strong and firm black upwards of 200 years, this one entry to follow is very faded out.

I think that all these people did exist. I am not sure they are our David Robertson's family, especially since the girls listed all moved south while David and his sons moved to Ohio. The birthplaces of these children, if correct, reflect a circular migration which seems odd to me. It makes more sense that the daughters moved into Tennessee and South Carolina from Patrick County than David moving into Ohio.
