I am researching the parents of Isaac K. Lollar, born 1714 in Burke or Lincoln County, North Carolina. I am equally interested in the line of his wife Elizabeth from Orange County, Virginia. I understand Isaac served with the Augusta Militia of 1742 (in the Shenandoah Valley; I assume they were fighting Indians) and married Elizabeth while serving and living in Virginia. They had a daughter Elizabeth, born in Orange County, Virginia, around 1740, then moved to Isaac's birthplace in western North Carolina.

I note also that Isaac was a Lincoln County, N.C. Justice of the Peace per the Southard family book. I plan to search the state records of North Carolina and Virginia and the county records of Burke, Lincoln, Rutherford and Rowan Counties, N.C. and Fluvanna, Louisa and Orange Counties, Virginia for information relating to the first Isaac and Elizabeth and their parents, with the hope of discovering both their roots.

If anyone has already been down this road and can help me avoid any dead ends, please let me know. I note several possible maiden names of Elizabeth from the previous post.

I am curious as to what research you have done to-date on the ancestors of Isaac from Burke and Elizabeth from Orange. I am very familiar with the old Lollar home place built around 1790 across from the Broad River off Union Road in Rutherford County, NC, having spent many vacations with my family visiting grandparents there.
