LEHMAN, LAYMAN, LEMAN; Joseph Layman, whose wife's name was Anna, sold land in Rockingham Co., VA in 1779. Later that year he became the first Layman, by any spelling, to appear on a record in Botetourt Co. when he purchased land from Alcorn. He died in Sevier Co, TN after 1808. I seek to establish his relationship to my line to whom he always seemed to remain in proximity.
