Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan/10942 Surname: Betterley, Alden ------------------------- Thomas Betterley of Edenton, Chowan Co, NC died in June of 1729 and shows up several times in the old land and legal records. I have received a copy of his will. His wife was Elizabeth Alden, gr-granddaughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. She and son Thomas went back to Boston after his death. I assume he was buried in St. Paul's churchyard, as burials had been made there for at least 10 years prior to the church being built in 1736. I assume there are no records concerning his burial, but I just have to ask. Please contact me if you know anything else about Thomas Betterley or his burial.
