This isn't my line but this is what I used for Elizabeth's last name as well as proof of marriage to Thomas: p.123 18 Feb 1739..... Samuel Norwood and wife, Mary Norwood, and THOMAS BRADFORD and wife, ELIZABETH BRADFORD, of the colony of Carolina to John Jones of Prince George County for 4 pounds 6 shillings.... 100 acres on north side of Blackwater Swamp adjoining the said John Jones (being land which formerly belonged to ROBERT SMITH, the FATHER of the above mentioned MARY and ELIZABETH. They inherited the land as his coheirs.) Wit: Holmes Boisseau, James Jones and James (X) Glover. Rec: 19 Mar 1739 Samuel (X) Norwood Mary (X) Norwood Thomas Bradford Elizabeth (X) Bradford I have never heard of Mary Moore being Mary Smith, Elizabeth's sister. It is clear here that ROBERT SMITH is their father and Mary is married to a Norwood while Elizabeth is married to Thomas Bradford. I do not know the wife of Robert Smith. From somewhere - I have Mary Moore as being born about 1730, which would make her about 35 years younger than husband Thomas and the about same age as Henry - so she was actually of a later generation than Elizabeth if this is correct. (Mary, in order to be the mother of Henry's children, Henry & Isham would have had to be younger.) Only the proof is my research, believe I had the remainder marked from Sandlund. Would really appreciated a note filling me in on Sarah's marriage to Ervin Adam Brown. beckymosely@comcast.net
