I've been having a look to see if I could find anything that would show that I needed to modify or retract what I said in the message quoted below. After a rather breakneck run through a lot of VA and NC records, many of which were new to me, I haven't found anything that makes me think differently. Obviously it's only my opinion. Perhaps future discoveries will prove me wrong, in which event I'll be happy to acknowledge it. Thanks to everyone (on list and off) who has shared information.
