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.

Others probably would have more to offer but here is this deed reference for what it's worth in terms of the larger equation. - Joyce Nov. 11, 1718 Francis Poythress the Elder, of Westover Parish, Pr. Geo. Co., to Richard Pace of the same, for £ 100, all lands and plantation where said Richard lives, the plantations where Joseph Carter, Edward Crosland, Thomas Kirkland, and Michael Rosser, Sr. live, bounded by lands of said Francis Poythress.
