Jim, Thanks very much for the references. I also found a reference to their marriage, 30 JAN 1786 in Amelia Co, VA. - I'll see if the county has it on file and get a copy. What kind of document is the 1782 "Hd/Fam" and does his birthplace and immigration info come from his Rev. War papers? I am interested in children's records. I often go to grandchildren to get more clues or trace a migration, etc. Let me know if you want any of the documents related to daughter Elizabeth P.'s line, I have everything scanned.
