I monitor this list looking for a connection between my Creef lines and the Moncreef's of Currituck Co., NC. One of the reasons I expect a connection is the abstract in Gordon Jones book of Currituck Co. Wills - Will Book 1, William Creef's will 16 March 1791. Names wife: Susanner; sons: Samuel MonCreef, Isaac MonCreef. Exrs: wife Susanner and Mr. James Brent: Wit by Joseph Poyner, James Brent, Elizabeth Brent. Will Book 2. A William Creef also witnesses the will of Richard Brent, 23 Dec 1793. This William Creef obviously dropped the "Mon", does anyone have anything on him??? I was told by another researcher some time ago that the Moncrief's who supported the revolution dropped the "Mon" during the War to distinguish themselves from the Moncrief's who supported the crown. Has anyone come across anything to support this theory. Jean
