Dear Michael I saw your post re Abiud Sewell line, and wonder if you have information on the following: 1. I have Samuel b. ca. 1750-1760 as being the son of a John, and that John and his brother William moved to NC from Caroline County, VA in abt 1764. But I had not heard of Richard. Do you have Richard's father to be John, and his mother to be named ?Almond? 2. Is your Nancy Graves the wife of Samuel born 1785(I have Samuel's wife as Nancy?), or could you be referring to Nancy Marcom, daughter of Samuel's second wife Ave Young?, Or is this yet another Nancy. 3. My family legend has it that John and William were the sons of William and Elizabeth Marcom of Middlesex Parish, VA--but cannot be sure of this. Do you have anything on it out of Virginia? There are several court records re the troubles of a William Marcum in the Caroline County, buty so far I can't prove that these brothers were from Middlesex. If you have anything on these questions, I'd much appreciate hearing from you. George W. Mrcom, M.
