Claiborne Rothwell (d.1826/1828) served with the volunteers of Louisa County, Virginia during the Revolutionary War, and moved to Albemarle County, Virginia during or before 1782. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas and related families.
Records suggest that Claiborne Rothwell (1747-1828) was the first Rothwell to settle in Albemarle County, Virginia, on the land that is now part of Old Trail near Crozet. Claiborne was born in Louisa County, Virginia. In 1763 he enlisted and served in the Company of Volunteer Rangers of Col. William Phillips in the French and Indian War. He moved to Albemarle County in 1777, after marrying Judith Ann Hamilton Watts. The Rothwell family home stood on today is Welbourne Lane in Crozet. The home was destroyed in a fire in the early 1900s, but the stone chimney remains. The Rothwell Family Cemetery is nearby.
