I have been working on all descendants of my PRESNELL family for many many years. I have the second couple you mentioned as the parents of Noah. Here is what I have of 3 generations. I don't have the children of Noah and his wife, but I hope that what I have will help.

I have seen her names spelled Dicy, Dicey, Disey, and Disy. In the family Bible records of the Randolph County Library, Disy is listed in the Bible as "Lisey." This same document lists her second husband as Alfred Richardson which is also an error. James Alfred Richardson was the son of Disy and Edward "Ned" Richardson. I will try to list the name as it was spelled on the records so the spelling will vary according to the source. Dicey Presnell is buried in New Hope Cemetery, Seagrove, NC with William Brantley ''Bill'' Scott, her third husband. -letter and notes of my cousin, Marie Richardson Auman, Seagrove, NC. Information provided via a look-up from Randolph County: >From the marriage bond records themselves (these are the dates for the bonds, not necessarily the marriage): Dicy Presnell to Joseph Vuncannon, 1 June 1833 bondsman: John Williams Dicy Vuncannon to Edward Richardson, 9 Mar 1850 bondsman: John Williams Earl Glasgow of Durham, N.C. worked on the genealogy on the Presnell family, and this information was provided to a family member before he died 5 years ago: Dicy was the daughter of John Presnell. He was born in 1785 at Little River, Randolph County, N.C.. His wife was Rebecca Cox. John and Rebecca had 14 children. John Presnell's father was William Presnell.

Scott, age 63, are living in the same household with her daughter, "Pally" Vuncannon Scott, age 36, and her husband (also the son of William B. Scott), William "Billy" Scott , age 36. This information was provided to me by my cousin, Elise Graves Vecchia in March 1998.

I have information that lists two different sets.

And...the picture of the gravestone of William A.

I do hope someone out there can help me with all of this. It starts with Margaret Butler born about 1826 that married Andrew J. York. They had 5 children together: Julia E. ,Mary Z., Jesse A., John and Margaret. I believe daughter Margaret was called Maggie. In 1870 husband Andrew York was not listed in the census records. In 1880 it has Margaret married to a Thomas Pugh. In 1900 Margaret and the youngest two daughters were still living in Franklinsville, Randolph County. I would appreciate any and all information on the children of Margaret and Andrew, what happened to Andrew, what happened to Thomas Pugh. When did any of them die, married or what have ya. I just happened to stumble on the fact Margaret had married Thomas Pugh today. I have been searching census records all day and can find no more information :-((( All help is appreciated!! Jane
