this question originally came from the Franklin Co., VA list. I think this ties into the Hodges, and I'd appreciate those of you on the Hodges list who've researched the Franklin line(s) adding any comments: My theory here comes from the following marriage bonds: 1. Steagall, David Pinkard and Jane Warren, 4 Aug 1828. Sur. John Dearen. Married by Moses Greer 2. Scott, Michael W. and Sarah K. Steagall, d/o Wm., 19 Oct 1839. Sur. Rivers Steagall. Married by Arnold Walker 3. Steagall, Wm. and Mary Hodges, d/o Abednego, 24 Nov 1804, Sur. Rives Hodges. It's widely accepted that Rives or Rivers Hodges was s/o Abednego Hodges. My guess would be that William Steagall married Mary Hodges. She had a brother, Rives or Rivers, depending on the info you see floating about. William and Mary then had Sarah K. Steagall who m. Michael Scott. Her brother Rives would have been the surety. Secondly, David Pinkard Steagall would have been a good candidate to have been her brother, since he ended up in Rives household in 1870. The surety for David's bond was John Dearen, likely the one who in 1834 married Evalina Belcher d/o Isham. The Belchers and Hodges also intermarried. Any thoughts anyone else? tim -----Original Message----- From: Ktrygal1@aol.com <Ktrygal1@aol.com> To: VAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com <VAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, September 07, 1999 2:39 AM Subject: [VAFRANKL] Drinkard Stegall >I am searching for info on >Drinkard Stegall (Stigal,Steagal, Steagall) He may be David Drinkard Stegall. >Born about 1803 >>From Franklin County,VA. >Married Jane Warren in Franklin County in 1828. > >In the 1870 Franklin County Census there is a Drinkard Stegal in the HH of >Rivers Stegal. >Are they brothers? >Who are their parents? >Siblings? >I would like to find proof of this family and share info. >Thanks, >Donna > > >==== VAFRANKL Mailing List ==== >Planning a Family Reunion?
