Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan/928 Surname: Stokely, Montford ------------------------- I have information saying that Captain Thomas Stokely was born in "Edenton, NC", Chowan County. During the Rev. War, however, he was a member of the PA line, was captured, taken to Canada and not returned until 1782. At that time, he joined the Westmoreland (County) Rangers. Capt. stokely was married to Elizabeth Montford. I would like to know how/why Stokely came to serve in PA and if he was kin to Rachel Stokely Donelson, who married John Donelson of Donelson Flotilla fame.
