I have some limited VENTRESS information. My earliest entry is Lovick Ventress who married Mary Elizabeth Bryan (no dates available). Their daughter Mary Ventress Married Pulaski Cage (1787-1866) and Pulaske Cage is shown buried at the Cage cemetery, Jessamine Hill (I believe this was or is a plantation name) in Wilkinson County. They had at least ten children and one son, William Lyall Cage married Josephine Proctor Posey (1829-1913), who was my gggrandmother, in 1846, probably in or near Wilkinson County. My guess is that a starting point for your Ventress search might be at the Cage family cemetery in Wilkinson County. Let know if you dig up any more information about my family connections. I have been to Wilkinson County but at that time I didn't know about the Cage/Ventress/Wall relationships. Happy hunting. Frank Russell Wall
