Hi,
I am descended from the Beaver family that lived in Loudoun County Virginia just before the Revolution, and later moved to Rockingham County NC. Some of their family remained behind and moved to Lewis County, and eventually to the midwest. There were other Beaver families in the same area who did the same thing.
I would recommend looking in Loudoun County Virginia, as well as the Lewis County records. In Loudoun County, the land records are kept at the Court House annex; the best genealogical records are located in the Thomas Balch library- both in Leesburg.
The Beavers in my family came from Hunterdon County New Jersey, before settling in Loudoun County.
Good luck,
John
