I am descended from Captain William TWITTY (? - 1775) and Susannah BELLARS (? - ?), through their daughter Susannah TWITTY (1763 - 1825) and John MILLER (1758 - 1807). Has anyone determined William TWITTY's birth date/place or their residence prior to moving to NC in the mid 1760s? I've seen an undocumented Ancestral File that says he was born circa 1719, but have found no documentation to support that. I've also found no further information on Susannah BELLARS, other than that she married William GRAHAM after TWITTY's death in KY on the Daniel BOONE expedition. I've seen a couple of books that indicate some of his children were born in Chester Co., PA, but have not found any William TWITTY records there in that time period. I also found a court record in Mecklenburg Co., VA, saying a William TWITTY left a deed to settle a debt and moved to SC in 1758, and another record in 1767 showed a bill collector being hired to collect a debt from William TWITTY in SC, but it may not be the same William TWITTY. (The "Twitty Family in America" book says they were different men.) So any additional TWITTY / BELLARS information would be appreciated.
