NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery?read=344 Surname: Pritchard, Pendley, Carpenter, Gragg, Johnson, Freeman, Stamey, Hall, Willis, Silver, McMahan, Wilson ------------------------- I would like very much to find someone that is a direct descendant of Trim Pendley, sometimes called Trim Pritchard/ Pritchett. Trim's name was Issac Trimmer Pendley, son of Matilda Pendley. When Trim was 5 years old his mother, MATILDA ,married a Wiley Gaither Pritchard. Trim married MARY (POLLY) BURLESON daughter of RUSSELL BURLESON. The deeds I found for Trim had him buying land on PLUM BRANCH from Russel Burleson. Trim and Polly had a daughter Named "LOTTIE PENDLEY". LOTTIE married BURGIN BURLESON. HE had a son named ElIAM PENDLEY/PRITCHARD that married a VETTIE WILSON. Do any of you researchers know of this family? Children or grandchildren? Any help will be so much appreciated.Please feel free to e-mail me at jcomer@hci.net. Thanks, Joyce Comer
