| 4. | Hans Leonard Neff was born 8 Mar 1725, Germany (son of Johan Michael Neff and Anna Dorothea Saur); died May 1778, Hampshire County, Virginia. Notes:
The first Virginia record of Leonard Neff is found in a diary of George Washington. George Washington was only 16 years of age and working on a survey team for Lord Fairfax. According to the diary, they were camped on Michael Stump's place on the South Fork (Shenandoah River, near Luray) and surveyed 20 lots. On 2 Apr 1748 they surveyed Lot 11 for Leonard Nave (Neff) and Lot 12 for Michael Stump. Since Leonard had just married in late 1747, he and his bride obviously traveled to the South Fork soon after they married. Whether Leonard picked out his land before he married is something we don't know. It appears that Michael Stump arrived as early as 1746, as his name appears on an Augusta County road survey. It is conceivable that Leonard went with Michael and picked out his land and returned to get married. Possibly, the two men went alone. They could have selected their land and built small cabins. Then both could have returned for Leonard's marriage. It is estimated that such a journey between the Tulpehocken valley and the South Fork by horseback and pack animals would take about a week to ten days. Since many of the early settlers of Hampshire County were from the Tulpehocken area and many had family there, there was obvious two-way traffic between the settlements in Virginia and Pennsylvania. --JWNeff)
