    3. Hi--What Vernon line are you working on? Jonathan and Mary Cox Vernon's daughter Nancy (who may have been their eldest dau. and eldest child) and her husband Foster Tilley are a set of my 3rd gt gramdparents. Nancy and Foster were wed in Stokes Co., NC before migrating to Jackson Co. with most of the Vernons. Hope to hear from you. You can e-mail me directly at my e-mail address if you prefer. Thanks!
