HIESTAND FAMILY OF PAGE COUNTY, VA, by David Trimbleton Co., Tn.,
Abraham Hiestand was born about 1740, probably in Pa., and lived on his father's farm in Frederick (now Page) Co., Va., where he married Magdalene Boehm. On Oct. 4, 1763, he had 300 acres surveyed at the upper end of Powell's Fort above the Massanutten Path, although Lord Fairfax rejected his claim until March 26, 1777, when he granted Hiestand the land, which adjoined his faher's farm. On Aug. 22, 1783, he sold the land to James Breeding.
Abraham Hiestand then moved to Washington Co., Tn. where on Sept. 25, 1785, he bought 123 acres on both sides of Cherokee Creek from James Ray for 100 lbs. On Oct. 26, 1786, he received an additional 50 acres on the south side of Cherokee Creek from the state of N.C. for 25 shillings. There is no record of his selling the land; he was still living in Washington Co. in 1791, and he may have lived in Jefferson Co., Tn., from about 1792 until about 1797.
He then moved to Green Co., Ky., where on June 14, 1799, he claimed 200 acres of second rate land on Green River by virtue of a certificate for settlement #744; he had surveyed 100 acres on Green River. About 1800 he moved to Barren (now Monroe) County, Ky., where in April, 1801, he joined the Mill Creek Baptist Church near Tompkinsville by letter. Also in 1801, he appointed Joel Moore his attorney to receive his share of the estate of his father-in-law Samuel Boehm, in Shenandoah Co., Va. In 1811 he and his second wife Elizabeth, whom he probably married about 1805, withdrew from the Mill Creek Church and nothing has been found of his later life.
The children of Abraham and Magdalene (Boehm) Hiestand were, probably among others, as follows:
Abraham
Daniel
Anna
Barbara
Henry
Magdalene
Elizabeth
While there is no proof, the following were probably their children also:
Catherine
Samuel
Mary
