The first location of Mr. And Mrs. Christian Easterday in southwest Virginia is nub very definite. It was probably about 250 miles west of Jamestown and about the same distance southwest of Harper's Ferry. Their first son, Christian, was born in Virginia on November 27, 1752. Indian troubles drove them from their Virginia home, or homes, and they went to what is now known as Frederick County, Maryland, locating in the beautiful Middletown Valley probably in the spring of 1753 or 17 54. In this journey of nearly 250 miles, which was probably not continuous, but broken into two or three parts, they passed almost directly northeasterly along the Blue Ridge Mountains, crossing the Potomac River a few miles below and east of Harper's Ferry.
