I found very little information about Adam Sherrill in Augusta County, Virginia. He did settle there for a while because he was "not found" when the taxes were to be collected.

He is also listed on the Muster rolls:

Here are some facts about Augusta County, Virginia which help to put things in perspective.

• The first settler was John Lewis, 1732
  
• Staunton founded, 1732
  
• William Beverly land patent, 1736
  
• Augusta County founded, 1738 [in 1716, Augusta County included most of what is now Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Western Pennsylvania up to the northern boundary which was The Great Lakes.] The present boundaries were established in 1790

This log house is fairly typical of the period and Adam Sherrill very likely had one something like this one when he lived in Augusta County.
