I'll put the same answer on file here that I suggeted to Steve by email.

CHRONICLES OF THE SCOTCH-IRISH SETTLEMENT OF VIRGINIA; Vol 2, pp 150
- 159 by Lyman Chalkley http://www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley

Orator's father, John McCown (brother of Moses McCown), was an early settler on
Borden's tract and had purchased the right of Thos. Kindel and _____ _____, amounting
to 437 acres. Disputes arose between Borden, Jr., and Moses McCown (to whom John,
Sr., had assigned), and Francis Beatey made a survey, and on 31st March, 1750, James
Trimble, Borden's surveyor (whose notes were filed in suit Borden vs. The People), made
a survey. Moses moved to Carolina and assigned to William McCown, who also lived in
Carolina.
I believe Moses, not related to the Alexander group, is the brother of Francis. I suspect this William is either another brother or an uncle who went straight to Carolina without stopping in Augusta County.
