In the book of marriage bonds of Guilford Co., NC, published by the historical society, three Neatherey girls, including your Salley, were listed. Salley and Jonathan’s bondsman was Jo. Davis. Apropos of my e-mail yesterday, if 1767 James had at least 6 boys, then perhaps James (1801-09; m. 1820) was his son, and thus a junior. (John’s son and Alfred’s brother, James H., who married Elizabeth Eddings in 1817, went to AR in 1829.) If 1767 James was a senior, and if his first wife was a Martha (if I’m remembering Evelyn’s land document correctly), then perhaps therein lies the basis for the family folklore. But, even if so, 1767 James was a son of Richard, etc., not of Mr. Jolley’s putative lineage. Moreover, an ancestor could not have fought under Lafayette in SC beginning in 1778 (the war lasted until 1781), have taught in an Indian mission in NC, have married, and have sired Robert Lafayette Ozment in 1779 or 1780 in the alloted time, methinks. Alfred Ozment bought land near John in 1836. John (1763-1842+) appears in TN land records for 1811, 1820, 1837 (sons Eli and Richard), etc., and is referenced in 1842 as being alive, but he is seemingly not in the censuses (1820 TN, etc.). However, it would seem that 1767 James WAS in the 1820 TN census. Nonetheless, when did he actually arrive in TN? And, if he had a son James, Jr., then obviously that James, Jr., was different from James H. Are any of 1767 James’ sons known for sure? If so, who are they? Perhaps Greenberry (1805, NC) was James’ son, too. In 1810 NC, 1767 James had 3 boys under 10. I don’t remember Cameron specifically being mentioned in connection with Jonathan’s estate, as were many of Jonathan’s heirs. I neglected to mention previously that John Osment (1783-1749) was first mentioned in Maryland records in 1713. He provided witness to a Talbot County land transaction involving a Mr. Walker, etc., which had occurred a few years beforehand. John served in Barbados from Feb. 1701 to Feb. 1708, but was not on the 1713 Barbados census. [There was in 1713 a (black) slave with a first name of Osman in Barbados.] Peter Wilson Coldham mentioned that it was common for persons to relocate to Maryland from Barbados. George Gibson married Frances Dehorty in Talbot Co. in 1750 and was a next of kin to his grandfather, John Osment, in 1751. George and his sister, Lydia, were assured personalty by their widowed mother, Elinor Gibson, in 1734 Talbot Co. land records. IF George were 21 in 1751 (kin), then he would’ve been born in 1730. (Perhaps Lydia was born in 1732.) IF George were 18 in 1750 (marriage), then he would’ve been born in 1732. (Perhaps Lydia was born in 1730.) In either case, Elinor would’ve been married in about 1829. IF she were 18 at the time, she would’ve been born in 1711 (She would’ve had to have been born no earlier than 1709.) IF she were born in 1711, then her parents, John and Cornelia, would’ve wed 1708 to 1710. Thus, assuming an age of 18, Cornelia would’ve been born 1690 to 1692. (Cornelia had one sister, too.) So, too, Cornelia could’ve been born as early as 1688, because Robert Morton finished his apprenticeship in VA in 1687 (per P.W. Coldham). Thank you for your prayers for my mother. How is your mother doing lately? Take care. Sincerely, John A.
