again, per info i have posted in the past, but also from this rootweb site, allen stokes/ martisha may, who witnessed and proved samuel harris' 1799 pittsylvania co, va will, was the son of sylvanus stokes/ sarah allen and grandson of young stokes of lunenburg co, va, whose 1769 lunenburg co, va will was witnessed by lydall bacon.   again, there are too many significant and involved connections re these same and related families not just from new kent co, va on into this lunenburg co, va area but also from there on into laurens co, sc  for these not to be also relevant connections also re my/ our harris family.   VA-SOUTHSIDE-L Archives Archiver > VA-SOUTHSIDE > 1998-04 > 0892415287 From: "Ed Neal" < [email protected]> Subject: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Fw: Stokes Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1998 14:08:07 -0700 -----Original Message----- From: Ed Neal < [email protected]> To: Dorsey Drane < [email protected]> Date: Sunday, March 01, 1998 7:30 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Louisa Stokes Neal   Young Stokes was b abt 1705.
