I am related to some of the families you mention but there is some proof lacking on my end. However, I know the names. The Silveys were neighbors to some of my ancestors as were the Marriotts. Rosa's maternal grandparents were Miles Leonard Ritchie and Rebecca Marriott. I'll have to dig and find who Rebecca's parents were. As to the Silveys, the neighbors to my ancestors James C and Elizabeth Brooks Moore were William Martin Silvey and his wife Prudence Marriott who married in Roane Co TN. Prudence Marriotts brother Edgecomb Marriott was a neighbor to another set of my grandparents Jesse P Rains and his wife Elizabeth who we believe was also a Marriott. Their oldest daughter's name was Prudence Rains and their son William H Rains married Amanda Moore, eldest daughter if James and Elizabeth Brooks Moore who were neighbors of Wm Martin and Prudence Marriott Silvey. Feel free to contact me at my email: [email protected] I have much more that might help. Steve Riggan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
