The debate on this is documented on the Pace Network. Goto: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pace/poythres.htm Roy Johnson Webmaster, Pace Network -----Original Message----- From: genealogy@snuffy.britishlibrary.net [mailto:genealogy@snuffy.britishlibrary.net] Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 5:27 AM To: PACE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PACE-L] Poythress Did I overstate the case when I said that I don't think we know the name of Richard's wife? Is the Poythress theory still alive? Does anyone on this list argue that Rebecca Poythress was Richard's wife? I would be very interested to hear the reasoning, provided it is based on the primary sources. I have never been able to grasp why people thought Poythress might have been the wife, so would be glad to have it explained. Ellen At 21:26 01/01/2006 -0500, Gordon W.
