So SAmuel in Patrick Co.,VA in 1820 had a son Esom and one named Isham (as well as, probably, John b c 1797 in Va)? Did this Isham move to Knox Co., KY and is he the one in 1870 with the girl Lucy Ann? Since she was listed with Esom in 1850 as "idiot" maybe she then lived with her uncle after her father died due to never marrying - Charlotte was asking about this in 1870 - a Lucy Ann too old to be Isham's daughter l;sted with him in 1870 in KY?? She did not give Lucy Ann's age in 1870, though?? When you and Charlotte were writing about Isham earlier I never got the e-mail/post stating that Samuel had a son Isham and also one named Esom - did Isham's marriage record have his father's name? The fact that people from Surrey Co., NC as well as Patrick Co,VA witnessed the marriage of Isham shows there was a lot of "to-ing" and "fro-ing" across that border there between NC and VA. I feel that maybe that border was very fluid and that the people in Stokes Co., NC (Wm and his family) might have just sort of "slipped" back and forth - maybe without even changing their place of residence - maybe their land streched across the state line there?
