Dear Willette, YOUR: "I wondered about Hope P.'s mentioning of Charles's mother having the name of Kindness Breedlove(posted on the Virginia web pages)...since a sister of charles was named kindness, it is likely she was named after her mother..the birth dates given for Charles (i show 1685) would make it feasible James of (1655) was his Father. (the maiden name of the earlier Kindness was the question) willette" While I seem to recall a reference to a James Breedlove (b. 1665?) somewhere, I have not included him in my genealogy for the lack of any other evidence. I do believe Charles (wife Mary Parr) Breedlove had a sister named Kindness as implied by the William Trible will of 1764. Hope's reference to a Kindness dying in 1715 (p.16) is interesting at least, though some researchers doubt the date and/or the reference to Charlotte Co, VA, which was not a county in 1715. Since the evidence seems (to me) to support the Kindness Breedloves were in one descendant blood line, I think it is possible that there was a Kindness matriarch (d. 1715?) after whom all the rest were named in love and respect. I think this Kindness matriarch may have been the mother of Charles (wife Mary Parr) Breedlove. Simply don't know about the maiden name of the earliest Kindness. Bill
