Trish, The Darden Bible does give the exact same birthdate for Sarah but it does not give her maiden name unless I missed it, nor does it give her death date and don't see it in the cemetery records. THe charts I have from Cliff Darden does have her maiden name handwritten in as Westbrook, daughter of Moses with a ? mark. Wonder what the documentation is for her maiden name? Like you said, the exact same birthdates even without a surname, would make one look twice. The names of Abraham and Sarah's children don't include any Westbrook names - they are mostly Darden names. BTW, Jack posted that Bible on Lenoir Co, think with a link to Greene. martha >From: Trish Worthington Cobb <[email protected]> >Old-To: <[email protected]> > >Resent-Bcc: > > >---------- >From: Trish Worthington Cobb <[email protected]> >Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 17:17:23 -0500 >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [NCLENOIR] correction: re Westbrooks >Resent-From: [email protected] >Resent-Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 15:16:49 -0700 > >Hi Jack, > >I have a couple of questions. > >on 2/5/02 11:25 AM, Jack D.
