Thanks gang for the responses. At least I don't feel like I am out there searching for something that isn't there. Maxine in TX; your names look very familiar. Have to check into my files to see. I hope there is a connection. My David Cosby was born in NC about 1774 & married a woman named Hannah also born in NC in abt 1773. Their son William was born in TN in about 1810. He was married to Betsy Williams born in what is now Claiborne Co,TN in about 1811. Some of the spouses of their children were born in NC. I know that David & Hannah must have had other children. Also before 1777 the part of TN that comprises most of East TN was part of NC. Sue, where was your James Edward born? And where is King William Co located? In VA? Being a nosey person helps when doing genealogy research. Don't you all agree? Those of you that haven't place any information on this board yet, please do. I just might lead to finding someone with some information you are looking for. I don't mean to sound bossy; just want to solve all our mysteries. Thanks to all of you for responding. Wanda, I never doubted that there were others on this list; just wanted to hear from some of them. I really appreciate you, Wanda. We have to help one another to reach our goals. These folks we are searching for tend to hide in the strangest of places. Linda in VA
