I think it probably was after her grandmother Wells who was mother to her mother Virginia Wells. My great-great-grandmother was from Georgia I just can't figure out which clan she belongs to. This is very frustrating. I know one day I will figure this out. Just thought it was intersting that her grandmother (Francis Pathena) was named Kesiah Belcher.

All I know is my 3rd great-grandmother was Kesiah Belcher born in Georgia around 1800 and she was married in Mississippi to Samuel W. Wells. Do you know who Obadiah's children were, or if he had any brothers who could be her father. I am really desperate to locate this missing link in my family.

Dear David I am researching Belchers from England My ancestors came from Bow, London - George Belcher was a Draper in the early 1800's - He married Maria Williams and they had 11 children. Their son, Charles Robert came out to Australia. Don't know any details of his parents or family - could they be linked to you? Regards Trish Belcher Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia

Harman's Annals of Tazewell County, Vol. I shows "Obadiah Belsher and Visy Stump" joined in "lawful wedlock" April 2, 1851 by Geo. W.G. Browne. p 150. Is Ob. related to Tobias Belsher who married Margaret Milam in Tazewell County March 15, 1845? (Also joined by G.W.G. Browne) Harman's, I,p.126 Nash

I have never heard this, maybe your cousin, but not your sister in law, there is no blood relation. Where did Mary Cabiness marry? On cd 229 her sister is listed as Caverness, I don't know how to make it search for women using soundex, spouse 2 only searches exact match Sandy in Florida
