Gwen, My Stancill research has so far been limited to NC. I too would be interested to know what indications there are that Jesse Stancill of Newton, GA was Godfrey's brother. I don't know anything else about the Jesse mentioned in the letters but he is obviously a brother of Godfrey Jr. dec'd 1850. The interesting thing here is that others have previously claimed that Godfrey Jr. only had one brother being Noble Stancill of Pitt County. In looking at some of the late 1700's deeds and at the 1790 census it seems clear that Godfrey Jr. , Noble and Jesse had several other brothers. I believe their names were John, William, and Nathan. Maybe if you or I could post a message on Genforum and Ancestry.com's Stancil message boards inquiring about the Newton County,GA Stancils then maybe someone out there might be able to share some information.
