You might like to add to your notes that the Micajah I am looking for, which may well be the same Micajah son of John and Elizabeth, suddenly shows up in the Laurens Co., SC census of 1820 with a wife and five small children. I am almost positive that his wife's name is Nancy, proven or implied by later developments. This Micajah would have been born 1780 to 1790 (census based). Is the John and Elizabeth you are writing about the John married to Elizabeth Board ? (I wonder this since I saw Doris Canon's inquiry). I thought this Elizabeth Board was born about 1778. What's troubling me is the mention of John's 1783 will. Help me out with this, I can't make dates fit; where am I going wrong ? Charlie Charles S.
