That one is hard to pin down as they came at different times and there is considerable evidence that some of them went back and forth between Burke/Screven and Virginia. I'd only be able to guess at a "window" and I'd be inclined to place it between 1782 and 1792. > I am copying the entire 85+ Poythress listserver to see if anyone has a Muir > in their tree that relates to Thomas or just about any of those Virginia > people. The only name(s) I have seen for Thomas' wife are Martha and Patsey which is a nickname for Martha (or at least it was in those days).....and the Muir doesn't ring any bells with me. Perhaps someone has a clue for you here. Best, Maynard
