Note

Ambrose and Sarah went first to Grayson Co VA (then Montgomery Co.) butafter the revolutionary war they moved on to Mercer Co. KY.- p. 30

Ambrose Stodgill-Stodghill and his wife Sarah Crostwait made their first home in present Green Co. VA (then Orange Co.) where all of their children were born. The records of Orange Co. leave no doubt that he was ason of James and Ann and deeds made to James and John identify them asbrothers. He divided a tract of land between the brothers and gave itto them as a gift, excepting only a mill site. By 1768 Ambrose had sold the last of his land in Orange Co., including his share of his fathers estate, but the recorded birth of some of his children shows that hecontinued to live in the are past 1771. He probably made his living by operating the mill.

It is not known exactly when Ambrose did leave the area but in 1777 twomen named Ambros Stodgill signed the same petition from the Fincastle district and Washington Co protesting the length of military service. One of these would have been Ambrose, son of his brother James, who did serve in the militia of Montgomery co. He may have lived in present Grayson co. VA for a few years but there is little doubt that he was the Ambrose Stodghill who appeared in the records of Fayette Co. KY in 1788 as others in the same area had the same names as the birth records ofsome of his children recorded in Orange Co. VA.

It is not proven that all those listed following were children of Ambrose and Sarah but as they lived in the same area and no records fit any of them into any other family it is a high probability that they were his children.- p. 33
