History of Highland County, Virginia

This article was found amongst my Grandmother Constance's paper clippings when she was collecting information for her application into DAR back in the 1950s.  I don't know the name of the newspaper it came from or the year, but guess it to be around mid-April and somewhere in Virginia near Augusta County, Monterey, Fort Dinwiddie, and Covington because of some of the ADS.  It has an AD for the "Strand Theatre" in Covington, Virginia for the movie "In Old Chicago" being shown on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (April 25, 26, & 27).  My mother went to see "In Old Chicago" in 1938 in Oklahoma.  So I'm guessing that is when this article was written.  If anyone out there that is good at piecing that information together, PLEASE -- Let me know what you come up with. Thanks!

Highland County Virginia - April 1938 - Samuel Willson Sterrett

Men who at that time or later were residents of Highland served in Washington's army. They also helped to guard the western frontier against the Indian allies of the British. Highland volunteers under Captain David Gwin marched to the support of General Greene in 1781 and took part in the Battle of Guilford. There a large majority of the Virginia militia fought so well that Greene wished he could have known of it beforehand. He had reasons for his doubts, because the American militia had often behaved badly in the past. But on the field of Guilford the raw Virginians helped very much in making the nominal victory of Cornwallis a crushing defeat in reality. He lost a third of his men and had to leave North Carolina in great haste.

Warwickton Homestead Sold

The following article was also found amongst my Grandmother Constance Estella Warwick McGill's clippings concerning her Warwick ancestors. I did not have the name of the paper, but it was with other clippings from a West Virginia Paper around 1934.  I believe it to be around Bath or Pocahontas County, W. Va. Warwickton was a Warwick family homestead in Virginia that my ninth generation cousins ancestors (Judge James Wood Warwick family) owned and built in 1848.
