The Mendenhall connection to royalty through Anthony Strode was always hopeful at best and has now been disproven. The discovery was announced by Dan McEver in 1998 on the Mendenhall email list.

Moon b. circa 1722 in Frederick, Va) was a Mendenhall -- daughter of John Mendenhall, III b. circa 1712. This data is on the Mendenhall Family Association site. Does anyone have any research that would support this? Thanks for any help, Susan E. Davis --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
