Adjacent to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky, Virginia has "shared" land with all of these states. A good example being the parts of Orange county became Mercer, Kentucky. The entire state of Kentucky was originally part of Virginia. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) 16th President of the United States, approved West Virginia statehood on December 31, 1862.). To add to the confusion, Virginia has a Kentucky County. The Library of Virginia Genealogy Home Page LVA Electronically Available Card Indexes

Virginia Records by County Virginia History Bath Co, VA, Homepage New River Notes - Bath County, Virginia - ALHN Highland County Virginia Query Central Virginia Genealogical Association In 1777 Fincastle County, Virginia's General Assembly divided Fincastle County into three parts and created Washington, Montgomery, and Kentucky Counties. The act creating these counties described Kentucky County as being "to the south and westward of a line beginning on the Ohio at the mouth of Great Sandy creek and running up the same and the main, or northeasterly, branch thereof to the Great Laurel Ridge of Cumberland Mountain, then south westerly along the said mountain to the line of North Carolina." In 1780, Kentucky County was divided into three counties -- Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln. Within just a few years, six more counties had been carved out of those three. Between 1784 and 1792, people living in those counties held ten conventions on the question of statehood; on 18 December 1789 Virginia's General Assembly passed an act allowing Kentucky to apply for statehood and on 1 June 1792, those nine counties became a state, with the full consent of Virginia.

Some of the most important events of the war: the battles of Trenton, Princeton, and Monmouth, as well as the winter encampments at Morristown, happened in this state.
