HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood AND....unless the laws of PA were different from Colonial VA regarding these tax lists, if Wm was on the 1724 Tax list, it would seem he must be at least 21, thus born no later than 1703. But it could depend on what type of tax - real estate or personal property. With personal property lists, one could show up as young as 18 if he owned a horse or whatever was taxable. So....do we know what type of tax this was? I also think with a Google, you might be able to find the correct name of the Governor in that marriage record. I just screwed up our Quaker file so I'm very busy putting it back together - boo-hiss and a pox on me :-( Nel
