Elaine, I only got the first page and would appreciate the following pages. In your list of 5 papers related to individuals, all of them seem to be the "Alabama" line. However, you show as # 1 "Thomas James P". My question is: is this an Alabama guy or is this the Thomas Poythress who went from Burke Co., GA from Brunswick Co., VA bringing with him sons (one from Mecklenburg) and probably a nephew. A Martha Dixon who visits the site from time to time cites him (the Burke County guy) as Thomas James Poythress but she is the only one I have known to do so. This fellow would have been born about 1740 and died 1800 while in office as Sheriff of Burke County GA. I guess the question is whether the one to whom you refer is the Burke County guy or does the Alabama line actually have a Thomas James Poythress who is unquestionably carrying a middle name of James? There is no evidence to even suggest that T. P. of Brunswick Co, VA ever left Burke County, GA once he got there. Best, Maynard
