Thank you for responding to my query regarding Verlinda Graves. I have at least five sources that list her as Verlinda Graves. 1)Adventures of Purse and Person, 2) Willsons and Burchells and Related Families, County Court Records of Accomack-Northampton VA, 4)Virginia History and Genealogy, 5) Flowering of the Mariland Palatinate. I think the confusion comes from the fact that Verlinda Graves had a sister Katherine who married 1) Roper and 2) Sprigg. She had a daughter Verlinda Roper. William Stone mentions his "brother" Sprigg....who wouild really be his brother-in-law. However that term was not always used. Verlinda Graves also had a sister Ann who married Cotton. And she also had a daughter Verlinda (Cotton). My interest has been the footnote on page 183 of The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate (by Newman) that says Verlinda was William Stone's second wife and mother of only two of his children. Has any one found more on this? Thanks again. Shirley
