- After marriage he bought land on Black Creek in Botetourt Co. (now in Roanoke, Co., VA Bk- 6 -p. 666) and he then bought land
on Little Creek in Franklin Co., VA ( Bk 3 p. 715; Bk 5 - p. 173).
also: On a Marriage Bond dated June 1, 1789 in Franklin County, Virginia., John Boon gave his permission for the marriage of his
step daughter, Barbary Moyers, to Isaac Nave/Naff. The surety for the bond was Daniel Barnhart.

From Weddle Family History:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vafloyd/weddle_family_history.html
Before John and Barbara sold the 300 acres, they had to secure a title from the Commonwealth of Virginia. See Grants No. 31,
1793-1795, Reel 97, pp. 110, 111. They sold the land to Isaac Naff , 5 November 1798. The title to this land is interesting, in that
it states: “…Martin Wattle who was assignee of Jacob Hellam a certain Tract or parcel of Land containing three hundred acres by
Survey bearing date the twenty fifth day of February one thousand Seven hundred and seventy eight lying and being in the County
of Botetourt on the South branch of Back creek….” This would indicate that the Weddles were living in Virginia by 1778. This
might also indicate
that Jacob Hellam was the forefather of the Franklin County and Floyd County Helms family.
Martin Waddle was taxed on 300 acres in Botetourt County in 1782. See EARLY SETTLERS, Botetourt County, by Charles Burton.
