I am resaraching LAING and BUZZARD in Frederick County between 1785 and
1848,
James LAING and Helen Dawson immigrated between 1784-86 from Scotland
northeast of Sterling. James was apparently a cooper (barrelmaker). They
were in Virginia by 1789 and James bought land NW of Winchester near the
Berkeley county line in 1798.
James and Helen had 13 children. Their son John LAING married Elizabeth
BUZZARD in 1832. She may be the daugher of John BUZZERD and Mary HIGH of
Hampshire Co. and grand daughter of Frederick BUZZARD and Susannah
BUCKWALTER.
In 1833 John and Elizabeth bought the family place and lived there until
1848 when they left the area with their young family for Iowa. Most of the
LAING family had already moved to Ohio and Indiana.
The other children of James Laing and Helen Dawson were: Robert, Betsy,
William, Jeany, James, Rachel, Rebekah, Catherine, Frances, John, Elizabeth,
and Samuel. They married with families: BISHOP, JEUVILE, DUNLAP, FORCE,
JOHNSON/JOHNSTON, TIDBALL, SUMMERVILLE, and PIPER.
I would be glad to share information.
