Kyle, I am still trying to assimilate all this information. I have seen most of what you have referred to but not all at one time. I also spent a good part of a day in a library on Thursday. looking at some of the same information to which you refer. I was looking at microfiche of Tyrrell County Court Minutes. Just to stir the pot I'm going to throw in a few more tibits about John Sedgix. The writing of the minutes was realy hard to read. The following is the best I could interpret them. 1760-Personally appeared Abraham Jennett, son of Abraham Jennett deceased, and of his on free will , being about the age of 15. ? John Sedgix guardian of his person and estate.Joseph Alexander and Jerimiah Wynn. surties in the sum of 5000? pounds ? money. John Sedgix is appointed guardian of Sarah Jennett, orphan of Abraham Jennett deceased. Order that the John Sedgix give 500 pounds security with two good securities and enter Joseph Alexander, Esq. and Jerimirah Wynn. 1761-A motion of E. Gordon, John Sedgix is appointed guardian to Elizabeth Jennett orphan of Abraham Jennett. Stephen Hooker and Jerimiah Wynn securities in the sum of 50 pounds. In your notes you state that John Sedgix's wife's name was Ann. Both Abrahams were married to Anns. The older Ann married Sedgix after the death of her first husband A. Jennett. This is why he was made guardian to her children (supposition). At age 22 Abraham Jr. marries Mary HooKer, daughter of Stephen Hooker Will 1766. Stephen's son, Nathan marries Mary Sedgix Williams Whebee, daughter of John Sedgix. The mention of a Ann Hooker puzzles me. Who was she? I don't believe she was Nathan's 2nd wife but not closed to that possibility. Nathan's will dated 1801 names wife Elizabeth. Her will dated 1832 refers to all of the children named in Nathan's will as my son or my daughter. Stephen Richard is not mentioned as he died in 1810. I was puzzled about the Spruill connection. But you must be right about Benjamin being the half brother and that is why he is named. Have I got this straight? It really gets confusing. Let me know what you think. Will touch on more later.
