Hi Bill, Thanks you sooooooo much for the appreciation of my efforts on the Lucas Co. site. I really appreciate that. One volunteers in a "blind" world via the internet not knowing if anyone is out there or reading what you contribute. Nice to know you are out there enjoying my efforts. :) You and I have been trying to find out if there is a connection between your Nancy E. Tuttle and Unknown Threlkeld. As best we learned, he "could be" a descendant of Moses, b. 1777. BUT, no known links were found as yet. For the benefit of anyone new out there, a bit of reiterating: I descend from Sarah Threlkeld, b. 1822 Jackson, Wayne Co., Indiana. Sarah, wf #2, m. John Davis, b. 1809 Guilford Co., NC. They are parents of Melvina Davis, b. 1855, my G-Grandmother who m. John Quincy Werts, b. 1855, Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio. Both of their parents migrated to Lucas Co. Iowa where Melvina and John were married April 2, 1879 at Russell, Lucas Co. IA. Sarah Threlkeld, b. 1822 was the dau. of Elizabeth Weakley, b. 1781, Fredrick Co., VA. Elizabeth m. on Aug. 25, 1800 to Moses Threlkeld, b. 1777, VA. Moses died at Cortland, Jackson Co., Indiana whereas Elizabeth migrated with her children to Lucas Co., IA and died near Russell. Elizabeth Weakley Threlkeld is buried at Ragtown Cemetery, Benton Twp, near Russell, Lucas Co, IA, Row 9NS # 11 @ 92y 7m 27d along with some of her children.

History, 1978 edition: Guilford [Tuttle] and his brother - in - law, John [G.] Davis, [son of Benjamin & Louisa Gibson Davis] ran a threshing crew for years, first using a steam engine and later converting to gas. Guilford like to tease and he made his only daughter, Margery, believ for years that the morning she was born he stopeeed the threshing crew because he was so proud he had a girl after having two boys ..." According to Lucas Co. Marriages ... Lydia Tuttle m. John G. Davis Nov 01, 1905. But, alas, no Tuttle - Threlkeld. How about it ... anyone know of Nancy E. Tuttle who m. a Threlkeld ??
