- Augusta Co. D. Bk. 23-419: Feb. 16, 1796: Robert Strain orphan of James Strain deceased chose Andrew Keith his guardian.
Augusta Co. Land record:
D. Bk. 33-524, Mar. 29. 1804: Richard Trotter & Agnes his wife, Robert Strain, Jane Strain & Agnes Strain heirs of James Strain deceased all of Jefferson Co., Tenn. appoint John Strain of Augusta Co. to sell their part of land in Augusta Co. [signed] Richard Trotter, Agnes Trotter, Jane Strain, Agnes Strain.
Apparently this part of the family had, then, all moved to Jefferson Co.
Robert Strain is in Blount Co. after 1812 when he appears in some court and other legal records:
-B. MEANS (Beard?) was mentioned in the deed of William HAMILL, grantor, and Robert STRAIN, grantee, on 19 August 1813 in the sale of 372 acres in Blount County, Tennessee for a consideration of $400. The land was adjacent property of Robert HENDERSON, Thomas MAXFIELD, B. MEANS, Joseph WILSON, Patrick CULTON, and B. CUSICK. Witnesses were William LOWERY and Jonathan TRIPET. The deed was registered on 10 May 1814.
