Hello Listers, In attempting to clean up my sources, I ran across a copy of an article from "William and Mary Quarterly", Series 1, Vol 20, p 45-47. Unfortunately, I didn't copy enough of the article to know what it is primarlily about. However, the main piece in question is the following text from p.46: "Susanna Davis [...] married James Jelf of Lincoln Co KY. [...] He was the third son of Isaac Jelf [...] and his wife Anna Crigler (born Dec 16, 1765, died in 1854) daughter of Nicholas and Margaret Aylor Crigler. [...]" [note it later says: Jelf = Chelf] My sources and all of the notes from G_C archive say that Nicholas Crigler's wife was Margaret Kaifer (not Margaret Aylor), but I don't have an original source for that information. How do we know that her name was Kaifer? Also, any idea where this notion came from that her name was Aylor? (I am assuming this to be incorrect) Thanks, -Jeff Aylor
In case anyone is interested in reading further, it is from a very lengthy series entitled The Carter Genealogy by Joseph Lyon Miller published beginning 1909. The particular issue referenced by you was published July 1911, p. 38-51.
