Hi Sue, I agree Thomas Piddington, the eldest son ot Thomas Pidington d.- 1701/2 must have a birth date 1682/83. His father will indicate he was the eldest son but under age, which was probably 21?, in 1701/2. Then the court order which you referred to, Surry Co. (1691-1713, pg 230, Nov 1702 (I have not seen) indicates he was very near 20. If this Thomas Piddington married Sarah (George) Lewis,and then Abigail he must not have been married to Abigail but 3 or 4 years before his death., since Sarah (George) Lewis was living in 1696 as shown below. Sarah George married Morgan Lewis and had at least two doughters as pointed out in your e-mail. The daughters had a difference with their mother and went to court in July 1696. The difference must have been regarding Morgan Lewis's estate since the order mentioned Morgan Lewis' widow. You would assume that Morgan Lewis had not been dead many years. If he died around 1690 Sarah must have still been married to Morgan. If Thomas Piddongton was born, as we said above, in 1682/83. WHO WAS HIS MOTHER? Sarah was still married to Morgan Lewis and Thomas Piddington d.1701/2 had not married Abigail until after Sarah (George)(Lewis)Pennington's death which was after 1696. IT SORT OF LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE TWO THOMAS PENNINGTONS. Does any one know when Morgan Lewis died? When did Sarah George married Thomas Pennington? Reg Vassar
