Maitland Bible (Source in part) Caution before use: the Maitland Bible has a number of errors with respect to Poythress marriages. Entries appear to have NOT been recorded contemporaneously. A later myth refers to "the eight Misses Poythress and the nine Misses Poythress" citing the Maitland bible in part as the source. The "eight Misses Poythress" story (presumably daughters of Robert Poythress 1690- ca.1745) has numerous errors, not among the least of which is that there were NOT eight daughters of Robert Poythress in the first place. The "nine Misses Poythress" (daughters of Peter Poythress 1715-1785) did indeed exist and the Maitland bible assigns the grooms to most of Peter's daughters but a couple of grooms to Robert's daughters. The material below is the notes of an unknown genealogist using the Maitland bible IN PART as a source document. It will be recognized that this was not a particularly thorough genealogist. In those instances where an exact date is shown however, it is likely correct and derived from a source other than the Maitland bible which shows no dates.
