Most of my information, outside of what was given my by a long-time searcher comes from the usual sources. Although I have been looking for over 25 years, I still can't find the parents of my Lewis, B 1785 in VA (Pittsylvania, I think) He and his brother Richard moved to Grainger Co., TN C 1800. Both married MONROE women there 1804 and 1808. What his lady gave me, many years ago is as follows: Robert B. bef. 1655 in Engl. Mar to Helena PARKER: Joseph B bef 1675 in Eng., Mar Mary DAVIDSON. D. Aft 1728 in VA. William V. B Bef 1695 in Chard, Somerset, Eng. Mar to Eliz PARKER 16 Jan 1716-16 in Henrico, VA Parker B C 1720, Goochland, VA. Mar to Mary ALEXANDER D 1781 Halifax, VA Elijah B. 1768 in MOntgomery, VA, Mar to Nancy Ann HUNTER. My problem is that she said that Elijah was married before he married Nancy to an Indian Princess (aren't they all) and they had 1. My Lewis B 5 Aug 1785, Mar to Elizabeth MONROE in 1804, D 14 Jan 1868 2. Elijah B 1787 Mar to Mary HUNTER in 1801 3. Richard B 1788, Mar. to Mary POlly MONROE 15 NOv 1805 and maybe Nancy B 1790. In 1790 he married Nancy HUNTER. Whether the 4 children listed above belong to them, to a previous marriage or are nephews is unknown. Elijah and Nancy had 5 other children: Elizabeth B 1793, Mar to David WALLACE in 1809......ELiza B 1795 Mar to James WALLACE........ Kevi B 1796 , Mar to Elizabeth GEORGE in 1812........ Millie B 1798, Mar to Samuel WALLACE in 1813...... and Rachel B 25 FEb 1799, Mar Samuel FOSTER. If any of this is what you have or you can add or subtract anything please let me know. I have so many question marks in all the generations behind my Lewis. Thank you Earlene Hutsell [email protected]
