As related by Jeremiah's daughter Lucy Virgin Downs, at a family gathering at Oldtown, Kentucky in June, 1845. She also said that she was the first white child born West of the Alleghany Mountains (1769). She stated that in 1773, General George Washington visited her father Jeremiah and a neighbor when he was surveying a tract in Pennsylvania that was afterwards called Washington Bottoms, howerver, Lucy would have been to young to remember the visit. In 1770, George Washington went to what is now Fayette Co., Pa. to view his lands called Washington's Bottoms which were only a few miles from a stream called Virgin's Run there. But it was in 1784, when George Washington went to visit his lands in Fayette and Washington Counties, Pa. to get "squatters" off his lands and was involved in numerous litigations on this. We do know that none of our Virgins were involved in the land "ejectment" suits that Washington instigated from 1784 onward.

Lucy (Virgin) Downs said that her parents came to Kentucky with her brother, Brice.
The usual mode of travel from Southwestern Pennsylvania to Kentucky in those days was the flatboat. Family stories tell of how the Virgin family hid Lucy under a large iron pot while being attacked by Indians on the trip down the Ohio River. It is also said that
some member of the family still has the pot.
After Van Swearingen's death in 1793, Jeremiah Virgin lived for a while with his daughter Eleanor. His place and date of death are not known. Eleanor with her second husband, John Newhouse moved to "The Barrens" of Kentucky in 1804. Reason went to Kentucky about the same time. He died at Oldtown, Greenup County in 1819. Brice was lieutenant and Thomas private under neighbor, Captain William Leet in 1782. Brice left Washington County soon after 1788. In 1792 he was in Cincinnati, in 1810 a few miles to the north in Butler County, Ohio. John Virgin is as a witness in Ohio County in 179O. Thomas Virgin sold his land in 1785. ]
