I suspect one of the following women had a child with one of my ancestors out of wedlock before she was married. The following are listed in the 1850 census. I need the rest of the maiden names. Do any of these women (all born in VA) belong to anyone else on the list? NEED MAIDEN NAME & PRIME SUSPECT -------------------------------- Elizabeth (wife of Samuel Potts) born about 1799 in VA *** #1 suspect since she's living next to the illigitimate child's house in the 1850 census *** NEED MAIDEN NAMES ----------------- Mary (wife of ? Polen) born about 1798 in Loudoun County, VA Nancy (wife of ? Baird) born about 1798 in Brook Count, VA Ruth (wife of Samuel Gotshall) born about 1803 in VA Nancy (wife of Henry Beltz) born about 1788 in VA Catherine (wife of George Rider) born about 1795 in VA Elizabeth (wife of John Orr) born about 1799 in VA OTHER POSSIBLE SUSPECTS ----------------------- Rachel TIPTON (wife of Thomas Wheeler) born about 1799 in VA or MD Margaret NARAGONG (wife of William Parmer) born about 1803 in Loudoun County, VA Catharine SHULTZ (wife of Michael Hoobler) born about 1795 in Loudoun County, VA Catherine POLEN (wife of Thomas Ford) born about 1800 in Loudoun County, VA It is almost definite that one of these women is my ancestor! I just need to figure out which one!
