    1. Wall/Meredith/Lewis/Poythress
    2. Via Maynards suggestion, I am posting a possible theory I have for a possible name for Martha (Patsy) ? Poythress who married Thomas Poythress of Brunswick VA say maybe mid to late 1750's. At least it is something worth checking out, to try and prove or disprove. Ok here goes; We have Thomas Poythress and Martha (Patsy) Unknown, their first child, they named Meredith (not a common Poythress name), then we have Lewis, some say proven and some say not proven, son of Thomas and Martha (another uncommon name for the Poythress'), well my thoughts are our Martha (Patsy) unknown, could possibly be a Meredith, a Lewis(Meredith's and Lewis' intermarried) or maybe even a Wall(Meredith's and Wall's intermarried). All of these surnames were in Virginia (Prince George, Dinwiddie/Brunswick, Hanover, and a few other surrounding counties) at the time Thomas and Martha were in those areas. There was even a Lewis Meredith b. abt. 1640 who emigrated from Wales to Maryland in the Queen Anne's County area, and some of his and his brother John's and another brother, either William or a Thomas lines, who migrated to Virginia. I do not know much about these other surnames, as I am much to new at this research business, but maybe some of you know about them or have the resources to explore this theory. I stress, that is all it is at this point, just a hunch from the most inexperienced Poythress Researcher on the list. But it is food for thought don't you think. Take care to you all and BPN, I am thinking about you. Elaine
