Giles Co., VA Revolutionary War Monument

Isaac Smith and wife, Miss Simms, settled in Montgomery Co., VA after the Revolutionary War.  That tract of land is part of present day Giles County, which was formed in 1806.  I am currently searching for the land records.  Nearby lived John Peters and his wife.  Isaac Smith's wife and John Peter's wife were sisters.

There is a monument that lists Revolutionary War soldiers from Giles County on the grounds of the county courthouse.  The photographs below were provided by Bubbie Fraley and Mark Skidmore.  Both Isaac Smith and John Peters are listed.
