Joe, I is right here! The names "Elijah" and "Andrew" are interesting. I'm wondering if perhaps our Howells in Grayson County, Virginia are from Loudon County, Va and related to Hugh Howell's family? Hugh Howell died with a will in 1777, and names sons Benjamin, Abner, John, and other names quite familiar to us in SouthWest Virginia! Old Elijah Howell was down in South Carolina, forget at the moment what county he was in, but his father John Howell was born in Virginia. I'm wondering if perhaps his father was John Howell, son of Hugh? And if the Benjamin Howell who died in Montgomery County, VA in 1799 isn't really Benjamin Howell son of Hugh? Didn't Benjamin have brothers named David and Abner? These are also names listed as sons of Hugh Howell. Hopefully, someone on this list list is familiar with the Hugh Howell line in Loudon County, Virginia. I'm also interested in seeing if the Hash and Osborne families were also in Loudon before showing up in SW Virginia. George Howell is an interesting fellow. He shows up with land on Turkey Fork of Elk Creek in the early 1780's with a widow Sarah Howell who I'm convinced is either a sister-in-law or mother of George, James and William Howell. It seems our Grayson bunch are all descended from one of those three. Now, Hugh's son OLD Abner, went up into Pennsylvania, and was born about 1744, so he's old enough to have been a father or uncle to these older Howells. Also, the Abner down in Botetourt (and Montgomery?) was married to a Hannah JAMES. I'm wondering if her James family was from Pitt County, N.C.? This James family is connected to my LaFevers in Tennessee, and some of the LaFevers are intermarried with descendants of John and Nancy Brewer Howell of White County, TN. Lets see what we can come up with on old Hugh Howell's bunch! I betcha there's a connection. I wasn't aware previously of his Loudon County, VA will of 1777.

Hello, Looking for any information about the parents or siblings or anything about (Captain) John LANE of 1600's of Lane(s)ville, King(s) and Queen(s) County, Virgina, who married Mary ? and were the parents of Jane LANE who married Gawin CORBIN, (son of Alice ELTONHEAD and Henry CORBIN,) and Mary LANE who married 1st husband: James HOWELL and then married 2nd husband, Henry FIELDING. Mary LANE and 1st husband, James HOWELL, were the parents of John HOWELL who married Mildred LEWIS, sister of (Col.) Charles Lilburne "Of the Byrd" LEWIS, Sr., (son of Elizabeth WARNER and John "Councillor" LEWIS,) who married Mary HOWELL, sister of John HOWELL, both children of Mary LANE and 1st husband, James HOWELL. And Mildred LEWIS and John HOWELL were the parents of Mildred HOWELL who married William LIGHTFOOT who descends from the family of Philip LIGHTFOOT and Alice CORBIN, daughter of the aforementioned Alice ELTONHEAD and Henry CORBIN. Mary LANE and 2nd husband, Henry FIELDING, were the parents of Frances FIELDING who married (Colonel) John LEWIS, also a son of the aforementioned Elizabeth WARNER and husband, John "Councillor" LEWIS. Thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett

I'm beginning to wonder if ol' Hugh Howell who died 1777 in Loudon County, Va isn't the ancestor of the Howells down in SouthWest Virginia, especially Benjamin Howell who died in Montgomery County, VA in 1799? Anyone have Hugh's parents? Could there be a connection between Hugh and Elijah Howell of Laurens County, S.C.??? James Howell who married Jane Copeland in Grayson County, VA had a son named Elijah. If memory serves me correctly they moved West into Illinois. Interestingly, Elijah of S.C. had a son named Tilman Howell. John Howell (1788-1861) who married Nancy Brewer in Grayson County, VA had a son named Tillman C. Howell, born 1835 in White County, TN. Someone reported that Tillman's middle name was "Cantrell". Any proof of this? A Tillman Cantrell DID reside briefly in Warren county, TN, where John Howell's sister Drucilla (Howell) Hash lived (Rock Island). Drucilla was the wife of Thomas Hash. Hope someone can help us trace back beyond Montgomery County, VA. Thanks Will

Hi Joe, Your e-mail greatly intrigues me for two reasons: My 2g-grandmother, Susan Permelia Howell, was born in Andrew Co., Missouri, in 1847, and raised there by her grandparents, James Howell and Agnes Cason. My Howells and your Howells were in Andrew Co., Missouri at the same time ... do you have any idea if they could be related? Also, if they are related, I've researched numerous lines for my husband in Grayson Co., VA/Ashe and Alleghany Co., NC (Toliver, Spurlin, Higgins, Hampton, Cox, Collins, Davis, Stamper, etc ...) and one line of my own (Hill). So I'd like very much to hear what you know about other Howell lines in Andrew Co., MO. I know my 4g-grandfather, James Howell, was listed as James, Jr. on his marriage certificate, although I've seen one researched try to place him as the son of Samuel Howell of Loudoun Co., Virginia. I don't know what's right. Diane [email protected] > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jos. W.

Hi, In response to the message below forwarded by Colleen from Carole CONRAD, re: << Dear Belinda: Did Mary Lane Howell marry THE Henry Fielding? carole in nyc>> Hi, Carole, Well, Carole, I'm not sure how many Henry FIELDINGs there are that may have been prominent in one way or another but I would assume that this is probably the Henry FIELDING that you are referring to is: << Now, bearing in mind that all of the information listed below might still have a possible error here or there but is accurate to the best of my immediate ability for it to be...but always interested in hearing of corrections. Thanks. See the following. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett Henry FIELDING, Gentleman, British writer, playwright and journalist, (founder of the English Realistic school in literature with Samuel RICHARDSON,) and best known book was"TOM JONES," and Henry FIELDING was born: 22 April 1707 at Sharpham Park, Somerset, England, died: 1754, son of (General) Edmund FIELDING and wife, Sarah GOULD, daughter of a judge. This Henry FIELDING grew up on his parent's farm at East Stour, Dorset, England and was schooled at Eton College (1719-1724.) Then, no, it would not be that Henry FIELDING to whom I referred as having married Mrs. Mary LANE HOWELL. I am not sure precisely how but I believe that the two Henry FIELDING's are related. The Henry FIELDING, immigrant, born: mid 1600's in England, immigrated to Virginia, died: November 27, 1712 in Gloucester County, Virginia, to whom I refer, is of 1600's Virginia related WARNER- LEWIS - HOWELL - LANE - FIELDING - RANDOLPH - JEFFERSON - BRANCH - LEE - LIGHTFOOT - MERIWETHER - CRAWFORD and more connecting families that find among their descendants: (1.) (President) George WASHINGTON and his father, Augustine WASHINGTON, (descended from Augustine WARNER, I and II through Augustine, II's daughter with Mildred READE, who was Mildred WARNER,) (2.) Meriwether LEWIS, (through Augustine WARNER, I and II, through Augustine, II's daughter with Mildred READE, who was Elizabeth WARNER,) (3.) Queen Elizabeth, II, current Queen of England, through her mother, the current Queen Mother, as well as, obviously, Prince Charles and sons, Prince William and Prince Harry and the other siblings/nephews/nieces and cousins of Charles, etc., (who all descend through Augustine WARNER, I and wife, Mary Margaret? TOWNELEY, through their son, Augustine WARNER, II, and his wife, Mildred READE, (daughter of George READE and Elizabeth MARTIAU,) through their daughter, Mary WARNER.) (4.) (President) Thomas (4) JEFFERSON, (descends from connecting RANDOLPH - BRANCH - JEFFERSON lineage.) (5.) (General) Robert E. LEE, (drawing a blank here but I believe he is descended through the FIELDING - LANE - LEWIS - MERIWETHER - CRAWFORD lineage but may be more of the others, too.) Henry FIELDING is related to this family group, possibly in other ways, but to my knowledge is related twice through his daughter, Frances FIELDING's marriage to (Colonel) John LEWIS, III or V, (son of Elizabeth WARNER and John "Councillor" LEWIS,) and Henry FIELDING is also related to this family through his marriage as the 2nd husband of, Mrs. Mary LANE (HOWELL,) (mother of the aforementioned Frances FIELDING,) and Mrs. Mary LANE HOWELL is sometimes referred to as Lane HOWELL, but her maiden name was actually Mary LANE and then she married James HOWELL as her 1st husband and then married as her 2nd husband, Henry FIELDING, who was the son of ? FIELDING and his wife, (Dame) Frances (maiden name: ?) FIELDING and per some interenet information that I have seen there is the possibility because of something mentioned in Henry FIELDING's will that his mother's maiden name might have been Frances THOMPSON. Mary LANE was the daughter of Mary ?? and husband, (Captain) John LANE of Lanesville, King and Queen County, Virginia. Mrs. Mary ? and (Captain) John LANE had another daughter, Jane LANE, who married Gawin CORBIN, (son of Henry CORBIN and Alice ELTONHEAD whose daughter, Alice CORBIN married (Colonel) Philip LIGHTFOOT, immigrant in abt. 1670 from London, England to Virginia with his brother, Royal Navy sea (Captain) John (2) LIGHTFOOT, (sons of Elizabeth PHILLIPS, (her father was Francis PHILLIPS, (Exchequer to Queen Elizabeth, I, I believe,) and mother was Olive SAWYER,) and John (1) LIGHTFOOT, Esquire, of Gray's Inn/Oxford. John (2) LIGHTFOOT was the son of (Reverend) Richard LIGHTFOOT and Jane JONES, (daughter of (Captain) Roger JONES,) and they were of late 1500's Stoke Breurne, Northamptonshire, England. The LIGHTFOOT family weaves in and out of these familiy lines along with the LEE family and others many times. Mary LANE, married 1st husband, James HOWELL, (sometimes shown as (Sir) John HOWELL, apparently, incorrectly, but I believe that there is a connection of some kind with this name...not sure of the names of his parents so it may be that (Sir) John HOWELL was the father of James HOWELL. There was a painting that hung at "SANDY POINT," one of the LIGHTFOOT homes that was of (Sir) John HOWELL.) (I am also searching for more information on my maternal 4th great grandmother, Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT, born: abt. 1763 in VA?/Antigua?/or ?, (daughter of Philip LIGHTFOOT, (probably descended from Royal Navy sea (Captain) John (2) LIGHTFOOT but still trying to find all of the connections,) and she married in abt. 1781 to Absalom LOTT, (son of grandson of Elizabeth JOYNER, born: 1720 in Isle of Wight County, VA, and husband, John (2) LOTT, (believed to be the son of John (1) LOTT, born: bet. 1680-1700 in Isle of Wight County, VA,) and Elizabeth JOYNER is the daughter of Elizabeth BROWN(E,) (daughter of John BROWN(E,) and John JOYNER, (son of Bridgeman JOYNER, Sr. and Ann HARRIS.) (Also, I am looking for information on a woman who was named Ann JOYNER, sister of Bridgeman JOYNER, Sr., and they were the children of Thomas (2) JOYNER, born: 1619 in Bere Regis/Beere Rigis, Dorset, England, and his wife whom is either Elizabeth ROBINS or Sarah EDWARD(S,) from whom I descend in my maternal lineage through son, the aforementioned Bridgeman JOYNER, Sr. and his wife, Ann HARRIS, (daughter of Ann MARTIN and Thomas (2) HARRIS, (son of Alice WEST and Thomas (1) HARRIS.) This Ann JOYNER, born: 1645/abt. 1645, in our information is shown as having married a married a man named ? LANE...is it possible that her full name was Mary Ann JOYNER or Ann Mary JOYNER and that she was the Mary ? who married (Captain) John LANE? The aforementioned CORBIN - ELTONHEAD family was a shipowning/shipbuilding family connected with the LONDON COMPANIES as was the HATTEN/HATTON family that my JOYNER - LOTT lineage later married into as well as others that I am descended from and that are mentioned herein so I suspect that there are still additional uncovered connections. (Speculation only at this time on the JOYNER connection for this (Captain) John LANE but had to throw it in.) Now, back to Mrs. Mary LANE (HOWELL) (FIELDING): Mary LANE's 1st husband, James HOWELL, died on Christmas Day, December 25, 1700 at the age of 37 years old and is buried at his home located near West Point, Virginia. Mary LANE and husband, James HOWELL, were the parents of the Miss Mary HOWELL who married (Colonel) Charles Lilburne "Of the Byrd" LEWIS, Sr., (son of Elizabeth WARNER, the aforementioned, and John"Councillor" LEWIS,) and the sister of (Colonel) Charles Lilburne "Of the Byrd" LEWIS, Sr. who was named Miss Mildred LEWIS married the man named John HOWELL who was the brother of Mary HOWELL and he was the son of Mary LANE and James HOWELL. This John HOWELL, (son of Mary LANE and James HOWELL,) married Miss Mildred LEWIS, (daughter of Elizabeth WARNER and John "Councillor" LEWIS,) (and sister of (Col.) Charles,) and together, Miss Mildred LEWIS and John HOWELL were the parents of Miss Mildred HOWELL who married William LIGHTFOOT. Mrs. Mary LANE (HOWELL) and 2nd husband: Henry FIELDING were the parents of Frances FIELDING, born: 1693 died: October 27,1731 in Gloucester County, Virginia, and married John LEWIS, III or(Colonel) John LEWIS, V, (not sure which is correct,) born: February 1686/87 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, died: January 11, 1754 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia, (son of, again, the aforementioned Elizabeth WARNER and John "Councillor" LEWIS.) (Colonel) John LEWIS, III or V, married Priscilla CHURCHILL, sometime between 1706-1717, (daughter of (Colonel) William CHURCHILL,) and then as his 2nd wife, (Colonel) John LEWIS, III or V married Frances FIELDING.

Re pirates, this is not very valuable data, but there is a book on pirates, found in many public libraries, that does list a John Howell, captured and/or convicted. Seemed to be 17th century; could that be the same John as served with Rackham and Bonny?

Hi--the area involved is western St. Charles County, MO. I would like to exchange data with anyone interested in this area, especially to extend, update, or correct Lillian Oliver's data in "Some Boone Descendants..." Her publication was as near as I recall 1956. Perhaps some more recent descendants of the Boone, Callaway, Hays, Stewart, Howell and other families she wrote about are now into genealogy. Hope to read more on this. Lew Howell (CA) On Mon, 25 Feb 2002 00:24:40 EST [email protected] writes: > Hi Dix, > Thanks for the info on the HOWELL Settlement.

Can someone tell me why we do not get the messages back from rootsweb's password central on what list we are subscribed to.. it used to work, but has not worked in a while.. I keep trying to find out what list I am on.. thanks Jackie Researching the families of: Morgan, Brewer, Howell, Ballard, Beck, Ricker, Knight, Woods, Simmons and Buffington -----

Hi Dix, Thanks for the info on the HOWELL Settlement. That is my HOWELL line. Linda [email protected]

With respect to Hugh Howell and connection with Captain Kidd a letter from Carol to Jeanette states that a John Howell was hanged for piracy in 1701 for his services to Kidd 3 days after Kidd was hanged,Would like source of this information or any other tidbits. Found a James Howe and others tried for piracy along with Kidd. James Howe and others were pardoned. Found a John Howel who was tried for piracy along with Captain John Rackam and Ann Bonny at Spanish Town, Jamaica. They were hung in 1720, a much later time period. Don period.

While not large in size yet, this site is to become a clearinghouse dedicated to global research of the Howell[s] surname and all her variant spellings. You're invited to submit material for display at the HRR. Simply let me know you want to house material there and what it is. We can display anything, provided it doesn't involve living persons. Contact me at <[email protected]>. Home for the HOWELL-SURNAME-L is the Edward Howell Family Association site at <http://www.ehfa.org>. This is a site dedicated to descendants of Edward Howell of Southampton, Long Island, New York. There you'll find an online transcription of "Descendants of Edward Howell (1584-1655) of Westbury Manor, Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, [England], and Southampton, Long Island, New York," Second Edition by Dr. David Faris. Web mistress for the EHFA site is Kristen Howell <[email protected]>. You're welcome to share this Coffee with your genealogy friends and relatives. If they are not members of our online family and would like to begin receiving the Coffee, they are now able to. Simply have them send a blank email to <[email protected]>. CORRECTIONS TO LAST WEEK'S COFFEE Brought to my attention were two errors in URLs. The first one I sent out in a separate message almost directly after last week's Coffee. However, I'll publish it again to make sure you caught it. I do apologize to those sites for my errors and to you, gentle reader, as well. They are: Obituary Lookup Volunteers - Rootsweb List - <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~obitl/>. A list of people who are willing to do obituary lookups in their area. Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - <http://www.raogk.org>. "The volunteers of this movement are agreeing once per month to either videotape cemeteries, etc., or to visit county courthouses in the county (or area of a country) they live. The cost to you would be reimbursement of costs incurred in granting your request (video tape, copy fees, etc.)". FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC It's 7:30 a.m. and my alarm/radio has just come on. "God bless America, land that I love..." comes booming out. Only one person I've ever heard could belt that song out like that ... Kate Smith. I'm immediately carried back to the 40's. I take comfort that all is well in my country and my life, and drift back into slumberland. "She loves you, yeah yeah yeah ... she loves you, yeah yeah yeah ..." Okay, okay! I'm up! The revolutionary 60's has me bounding out of bed. [1955 - "Maybellene" by Chuck Berry] It's strange how listening to my nostalgic radio station has me mentally bouncing from decade to decade, generation to generation. I wonder if the same thing happened to our forebears when they sang their songs or heard them sung by someone older? ... younger? [1977 - "Hotel California" by The Eagles] One of the really neat things about music, and there are many, is that it reflects the times. Lyrics tell how people feel and about the events of the period. In many ways music gives us a more accurate picture of people and events than any other method available. From Gregorian chant to the music of Bach and Beethoven to the music we know today, the stories of the centuries span a millennium. Just what did our ancestors listen to and sing? Join me, if you will, on a trip down a short, musical memory lane. Interspersed between the paragraphs are songs I hope most of you will recognize at least a few of and be able to put a memory to. [1529 - "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" by Martin Luther] Minstrels, minnesingers, troubadours (or trouvères), and jongleurs told stories about life and death through the songs they carried from village to village. They wrote the poetry, set their works to music and travelled with their jongleurs who accompanied them on a variety of instruments, mostly strings. When the boring nights of winter arrived, and during periods of time when the nobles were isolated from the poor during the plague, people sang songs telling of great battles, honor and chivalry, myths like the story of King Arthur, and of course, love. Some of the songs were humorous and some were bawdy. Many of the songs were written in praise of the idealized woman. [ca. 1600 - "The Silver Swanne" by Orlando Gibbons] Religious music was the first music of early colonists. Traditional English hymns were brought to America. Pilgrims from Southhampton and Plymouth brought with them the Ainsworth Psalter(1) imprinted in 1612 in Amsterdam. It was used until 1667 when The Bay Psalter(2) was adopted. Songs written from poems of the earliest Greek poets to songs of the gypsies who arrived in Great Britain at the end of the fifteenth century comprised the music these people brought to the new land. [1616 - "Drink To Me Only with Thine Eyes" by Benjamin Jonson] The first English settlers in Virginia and later, Carolina and Georgia, took their music with them. The Appalachian wilderness allowed such songs as "Barbara Allen" and "Mr. Frog" to develop in isolation away from the prying eyes and ears of the Puritans. Most of these songs were stories about day-to-day life and death experiences and they were usually passed along by singing them at family gatherings, church functions and gatherings of friends. Since most of these people lived in the mountains and hills outside the cities, the songs reflected life on the farm or in the hills. This was the start of "mountain music" or "country music." [1685 - "Annie Laurie," words by William Douglas; music by Lady John Douglas Scott] It wasn't until after the Revolutionary War that the printing of individual items of music began in North America; music still closely linked to England. Music began reflecting a new life in a new world. The words of "The Star-Spangled Banner" were written by Francis Scott Key on September 14, 1814. Other songs of this period include "America," "Oh Shenandoah!," and "Johnny's Gone For a Soldier." We wrote songs to celebrate our presidents. Folk music and ballads were the rage. Black spirituals and slave music came from the African slaves. [1778 - "The Rebels" by Captain Smith, Simcoe's Queens Rangers] Today the songs of the 1800's offer us insights into hearts and minds of the American pioneer. Throughout the 19th century our grandparents sang songs about the sea and songs about the west. Their music dramatizes the lives of the men, women and children who homesteaded the vast prairie in America's heartland. I can see them walking next to their oxen-pulled wagons, girls and women in boots, long skirts, long-sleeved bodices and hats; the boys and men in sturdy boots, pants, long-sleeved shirts and hats ... walking through the fields of tall prairie grass, the sun beating down on them, the wind gently blowing... [1846 - "Oh, Susanna" by Stephen Collins Foster] I find it comforting to be propelled back to a time when life was less complicated or have a song relight a memory of happiness. I have to wonder then, if our forebears found mental comfort and "returned home" when they heard songs from their homelands or times earlier. Did our settling ancestors "escape" to a happier time, possibly in their youth, as they sang their songs while walking and traversing the continent? [1884 - "Oh My Darling, Clementine" by Percy Montrose] 1860: Popular music just before and during the Civil War concerned itself with political and military events. Songs included "Amazing Grace," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Dixie," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again," "Old Black Joe," "Carry me Back to Old Virginny," and "Marching Through Georgia." Religious songs were popular including "He Leadeth Me," "Gimme that Old Time Religion," "Go Tell it on the Mountain," and "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." Folklore music started during this period and included the music of the Indians, Negroes, mountainneers, cowboys, lumberjacks, sailors and others. [1875 - "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" by Thomas P. Westendorf] 1900: The turn of the century arrives and there are now 45 states. Popular songs include "When the Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbing Along," "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now," and "In the Good Old Summertime." Vaudeville is still swinging. The "Erie Canal Song," also known as "Low Bridge," was first published in 1913, was composed to protest the coming of the mechanized barge which would replace the mule that had been used previously. [1917 - "Over There" by George M. Cohan] The music of the times was reflected in the popular songs sung during the first World War (1913-1917). Songs of this period included, "If You Were the Only Girl in the World," "How Ya Gonna Keep'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and "Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo." Wartime humorous songs were sung, too ~ "Would you Rather Be a Colonel with an Eagle on Your Shoulder or a Private with a Chicken on Your Knee?" "God Bless America," written by Irving Berlin in 1917 was first performed by Kate Smith in 1938. 1946 - "There's No Business Like Show Business" by Irving Berlin The music of the forties reflected the feeling of a nation at war. The New York Times cost two cents per copy and a gallon of gasoline was seventeen cents. Pro-war songs included "We Did It Before and We Can Do It Again" and "Kiss the Boys Goodbye." "I'll be Seeing You," sung by Bing Crosby and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by the Andrews Sisters were popular. Popular performers of the time included Glenn Miller, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and the Mills Brothers. [1956 - "Don't Be Cruel" by Elvis Presley] Today's music has evolved to such a state that our early ancestors would probably brand us all as heathens! :) But no matter what the generation, I noticed the one before says the same as the one before them, who said the same thing ... "...and you call THAT music????" [1969 - "Run Through the Jungle" by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) Family ... it's what we're all about. I so enjoyed spending this time with you today. Thank you for sharing it with me. I wish each of you a week filled with health, productivity, fun, and above all, filled with love and inner peace. ) ( ) _.-~~-. (@\'--'/.

Hello, I have a couple of questions for those of you on the JOYNER, LANE, HOWELL, LEWIS, FIELDING, HARRIS, ROBINS, and EDWARD/EDWARDS lists. Does anyone know if the man named ? LANE who married Ann JOYNER, born: abt. 1645 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia was (Captain) John LANE, father of Mary LANE who married James HOWELL, parents of Mary HOWELL who married (Colonel) Charles Lilburn "Of the Byrd" LEWIS, Sr.. After the death of James HOWELL, Mrs. Mary LANE HOWELL married Henry FIELDING. The aforementioned Ann JOYNER, born: abt. 1645 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, was the sister of Bridgeman JOYNER, Sr., who married Ann HARRIS, (daughter of Ann MARTIN and Thomas HARRIS, II, (son of Alice WEST and Thomas HARRIS, I,) and Bridgeman JOYNER, Sr. and sister, Ann JOYNER, were the children of Thomas JOYNER, II and either Elizabeth ROBINS or Sarah EDWARD(S.) I'm also interested in finding out whether it was Elizabeth ROBINS or Sarah EDWARD(S) that was the wife of Thomas JOYNER, II and is it possible that one of them was the wife of Thomas JOYNER, I? Thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
