Willette, I am Cammie Whitehead Breedlove. I'm researching my husband's roots.His family is from the Montgomery area, therefore I think we may be able to tie into John Breedlove m. Nancy Parker who died about August of 1833 in Montgomery. If you have any further information on his descendents I would appreciate it. I recently researched my Grandmother's name of Burnett with another relative and got connections back to Robert The Bruce in Scotland. What a thrill! Thanks for the help. ----- Original Message ----- From: Willette Smith <willette@bigisland.com> To: <BREEDLOVE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [BREEDLOVE-L] Fw: Benjamin Breedlove and wife Mary Watkins > Dot; If my memory serves me (will look it up later) Old Henry Watkins Sr. > had two wives and a long list of children,etc. with each one of them, it was > about 40 pages.. could be it was ANOTHER Mary Watkins they were refering > to..?/ Willette > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dot Avery" <dottiea@mhonline.net> > To: "Willette Smith" <willette@bigisland.com> > Cc: <BREEDLOVE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 10:05 AM > Subject: Re: [BREEDLOVE-L] Fw: Benjamin Breedlove and wife Mary Watkins > > > > Dear Willette, > > The problem is the Worsham genealogy ( a new one) does say that Mary > > Watkins was married to Joseph Worsham prior to her marriage in 1762 to > > Benjamin Breedlove and Hope Breedlove had said this also but gave a > > marriage date of 1759 which I rather doubt as i found the marriage as > > mary Worsham, widow to Benjamin Breedlove 1762 in Luenenburg Co, VA > > Martha Kahn made a statement that mary, d/o William Watkins 1st married > > Joseph Worsham, a wealthy may , many years her senior. but then the book > > states that Benjamin Breedlove was made guardian of the children, the > > oldest born 1745 which is nuts.
