Katherine, I looked at the D.A.R. index listing for John Southard. It states he was in a private in the VA line, b. 9 Sep 1759, Belfield, Brunswick Co., VA, residence Sussex Co., VA, died ante Aug 1840 Orange Co., NC. Spouse Dorothy Gilliam. The only children listed are Gilliam, Maclin, and James. I have found many times that the first son was named for the paternal grandfather. Was the first son John or James?

I'm new to this list. I am searching for my "dead end" ancestor Green W. Southard b. abt 1811. This is the page for him and his children at my website: http://www.katscelticroots.com/fam00156.htm On the 1850 Georgia census he says he was born in VA, however on the 1860 and 1870 Georgia censuses he says he was born in NC. There is a family tree at ancestry that lists a John Southard born Sept 9, 1758 in Beifield VA and died in 1833 in Orange Co., NC as Green's father. I emailed the person who submitted the information and asked him what his evidence was and was told that it was family Bible records, unfortunately I could not get him to email me a copy of the record and further emails have bounced. I have pulled John Southard's will (which thankfully the Alabama archives had) and Green is not mentioned among his children, Green would have been 16 at the time the will was written and I suppose that he could have already done something that could have caused him to be cut out of the will but it really seems unlikely to me. I also have John Southard's Rev War pension file, but there is no family information in it. It does however say John was living in "Orange County, North Carolina, within three or four miles of the Shallow Ford on the Haw River" when his pension was approved in 1832. The pension also lists his birthplace as Belfield VA and not Beifield VA. According to the will John's wife was named Dorothy (maiden name Gilliam?) and his children were Macklen, Polley, Gilliam, Tempey, Charles, James, Carter, and John. Is anyone familiar with this family?

Thank goodness this list is active .... so often I join lists that are not. I've been out of my genealogy for a year .. mostly due to pure frustration over Green Southard as it was this line that I was interested in the most. From the research I'd done before it appears that Macklen was the oldest child. Thank you, Katherine Katherine, I looked at the D.A.R. index listing for John Southard.
