Peter Challe sailed from Europe to the Virginia Colony in 1773. His name evolved from Challe to Shall to Shaul. We follow him through land and court records in Augusta & Rockingham Co., VA and Pendleton & Harrison Co., (now West Virginia). We have records of his children in Ohio (Champaign, Clark, Madison & Logan Co.) and Indiana (Hamilton, Madison, Howard & Warrick Co.) From there the families spread out throughout the midwest, the west and some even walked across the Isthums of Panama before the Panama Canal was built to settle in CA (mostly Lake Co.) The tales of marriage and family, pioneers, cowboys, horse "traders" and even a few murders will intrigue you. Other states widely covered are: AZ, IL, WI, MO, IA, MN, SD, NE, KS, OK, CO, WY, ID, UT, OR, and WA.
Among the surnames: Anderson, Bennett, Botkin, Blanche, Brandle, Burdett, Campbell, Cary, Chenny, Cheuvront, Cochrun, Cummings, Denny, Elsworth, Evans, Givens, Goul, Hinkle, Hurst, Ireland, Kitts, Leaming, Lindsay, McClintock, Matthews, Marts, Neer, Peterson, Runyan, Riley, Roberts, Shahan, Stewart, Wade, Ward, Wilson, West and more than 280 others.
