The first Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia arrived in the 1720's primarily from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Eastern Virginia. Many of those settlers took up land on the 112,000-acre tract that the colonial government granted to William Beverley, later referred to as "Beverley Manor". Augusta County was created from Orange County in 1738 and, for the next 7 years, records were kept in Orange County.

In 1739 Benjamin Borden, a New Jersey Quaker, received a grant beginning at the southern boundary of Beverley Manor. The Borden Tract later became Rockbridge County. Also in 1739, John and Magdalene McDowell and the James Cathey Family settled in. In 1740 came Alexander Breckenridge, David Logan (father of Gen. Benjamin Logan), Robert Poage, Robert Patterson, James Bell (of the "Long Glade Bells), and the Anderson and Hays families.
