( Yes) Then surviving children Powell b. 1722, Keziah b. 1727, Elizabeth b. 1731. (Yup...which makes the husband of Elizabeth Bridget the man who died in 1744... OK...but nothing says he has Powell or Jane or is the son of James...I think not... I believe the man who dies in 1744 is a son of William of James, but not the actual son of James .Grace calls him Powell...he was Wm Powell born to William , son of James, who married a dau of Grace Powell, and then was redistricted into Surry VA So, with daddy gone, Powell becomes referred to as William and he has a son he names William Powell, but he cannot be the man born in 1722...that;s his son, and his father would have started having children 10 years earlier......Meanwhile, back at the ranch, daddy William .... no Powell middle name as nobody has yet married a Powell, is in Surry. He has married again and had offspring. He buys from Durham in NC, but never lives there.) > We are not sure who Winifred b.

(Jane Riggins and Samuel Evans were married in 1746 in St Pauls Register Stafford VA, .A good age to be the dau of William and sister of Powell in Grace Powell's will) She is not found in any birth record, nor is she mentioned in the Wm's 1744 estate settlement. ( Wrong William...why would her brother bequest her !? and she may have been born enroute and not recorded. Her marriage is recorded, so it is not just Grace that sees her.) I can see how one would think that Wm was md to a d/o Wm & Grace Powell. > But this certainly conflicts with the last name "Bridget" ( Not if you loosen up...LOL... it's just a middle name!) .(Why are you stuck on Bridget as a last name...she's Elizabeth Bridget Powell Regan...not Elizabeth Martha Powell Regan... Bridget is an old Irish given name...it's actually Mary in Gaelic...but that's moot...) > > Because Elizabeth, Wm Powell, and Keziah are mentioned in Wm's 1744 estate > settlement in Stafford VA, I "assume" these are his surviving children. > Powell is 22, Keziah 17, Elizabeth 14.

( This fits with William dying and perhaps comatose...it happened then too ya know... he would not know name of child to be born...he might not know child was coming...doesn't mean child didn't exist, just that she wasn't in will.) I believe this man is the Powell in Grace Powell's will. This is NOT William, the son of James. Do you have the original of this will?

( wouldn't it be funny if Wm Pow Rgn died in 1744, and Wm who outlived his son had another Powell Rgn and that's the guy in SC...

James, I think Bridget is just a given name, and a clerk/pastor/ recorded her as Eliz-Bridget to keep her apart from Charles' Elizabeth and possibly Mathews'. Then they get a new pastor and he puts "Bridget" as having Winifred ( was that the last one ?), as she probably goes by Bridget to be different...there are far too many Elizabeths.

The first Thomas Bell who died in 1761 was married to Mary Thompson. They had a son, Thomas Bell, who died in 1782. The second Thomas Bell was married to a daughter of Samuel Jones and wife Agnes who were also the parents of Daniel Pegram's wife, Agnes Jones. Thomas Bell (2) left his Will dated 26 May 1782, probated November Court 1782 and recorded in WB3:159. He names sons Thomas Bell, John Bell, William Bell and Muntford Bell and daughter Patty. He left a life estate to his wife, not named. Sons William Bell and Muntford Bell are identified as being minors. Executors were Henry Jones, Jesse Bell and Daniel Pegram. Witnesses were John Colclough, John Harton and Daniel Pegram. The 1800 Census of Warren Co. shows that Thomas Bell and wife Martha have 2 sons. One is between 10 and 15 and the other is 16 to 25. They have 2 daughters between 10 and 15 which we have not identified. In 1810, there are no males left in the home. We know that Thomas, Jr. and his new wife are living close by. John is not found in Warren Co. in 1810 and may have left with other family members who had already started westward. Thomas Bell (3) and his wife Martha Pegram, together with the familiy of their adult son, Thomas , went to Tennessee shortly after the turn of the century along with Daniel Pegram (Martha's nephew) who had married Lucy Milam. Many of Lucy Milam's family traveled with them. Also in this migration was John Bell who we believe was a brother of Thomas Bell. The Pegrams, Bells and Milams all lived within shouting distance of each other in Warren Co., and soon settled within shouting distance of each other in what is now Cheatham Co., Tennessee. Unfortunately for anyone researching these families, they began spreading to other areas shortly after arriving in Tennessee. John Bell, who we believe to be a brother of Thomas Bell (3) is of interest since his descendants subsequently married back into the Pegram family. Ann Bell, the wife of John Riggan of NC, is held to be a daughter of Thomas Bell (1)and Mary Thompson. Mary Thompson's father Samuel, was a son of William Thompson. and the only descendent of the original Rev William Thompson in New England to have children. His 1748 sale of land prior to a move to NC has John Sr Riggen, John Jr Reggen, and Joseph Reggen as witnesses. Mary Thompson's mother was Sarah Edwards, whose father William Edwards left a 1721 will: William Edwards' will names daughters Mary, Elizabeth, Ann and Sarah; sons, Benjamin, William and Micajah. He also devised to Francis Regan "one dividend of land lying at the mouth of Susquehannah branch, lower end of his line and the great swamp below his house not exceeding 10 acres, formerly promised to Samuel Kindred." (Bk. 7, p. 389). Okay, let's backup. John Riggan ( est b. 1720-25 I'm not wild about this date) married a daughter, Anne, of Thomas Bell (I) and Mary Thompson. Her father died in 1761. That's the only date we have so far. Martha Pegram ( b.c. 1760) married Thomas Bell #3 ( marriage 1782) Mary Pegram ( b.c. 1743) married Jun 1759, Francis Riggan ( b.c. 1730) (please note Francis was 29 for this marriage and there is time for a first wife, however, I think he was born later and this his first marriage) Anne Bell Riggan, wife of John, is the aunt of Thomas (#2) Bell/xxx Jones. This This Thomas Bell #2 is the father in law of Martha Pegram. The Pegram girls have married into Bells that are 2 generations apart. ( one married generation #2 and Martha and Mary Pegram are sisters, born 17 years apart. I'm not buying the John and Francis Riggan as brothers...and these birth dates are awful ! But, back to Francis... In 1721, when William Edwards leaves a bequest of 10 acres to Francis Regan, our NC Francis Sr. was, by all practical estimates, not yet born. Francis Sr of NC died in 1818. He'd have to be well over 100. How does Francis ( Francis, Daniel) fit in here? If John/Bell is the Francis Jr of Thompson's 1748 land witness, who is SR? Is the Joseph witness our odd b. 1710 Joseph ? Okay, James, I get it.. John and Francis are most likely from Daniel... but I am not through with William. I think you have applied data to one William that is actually 2 Williams. William and Charles are James....the $64 dollar questions is...drum roll...can we relate Daniel to James...Maybe...and there are 2 Dans in early I of W that I keep mixing up with Dan Jr that Sam keeps correcting...they need to be placed...meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'd like to try to nail William and get he and his off the list of orphan and misapplied Rgns of NC.

M'ellen JW Garrett OK, given that Wm R b. 1690 has a wife Elizabeth Bridgit? (according to record was his wife) they have a 1st daughter Elizabeth b. 1715 when Wm was abt 25 yrs old. This Elizabeth d 1717 Next son John b. 1717/d. 1718. Then surviving children Powell b. 1722, Keziah b. 1727, Elizabeth b. 1731. We are not sure who Winifred b. May 1744 belongs to other than Bridget "R". her alleged father Wm may have dec'd bef her birth in May 1744. Grace Powell 1733 will does mention Wm & Powell & Jane "R". But who is Jane? She is not found in any birth record, nor is she mentioned in the Wm's 1744 estate settlement. I can see how one would think that Wm was md to a d/o Wm & Grace Powell. But this certainly conflicts with the last name "Bridget". Because Elizabeth, Wm Powell, and Keziah are mentioned in Wm's 1744 estate settlement in Stafford VA, I "assume" these are his surviving children. Powell is 22, Keziah 17, Elizabeth 14. Note that Winifred is not mentioned, she would have been < 1 yr old. Then by 1765 a Wm Powell & Wm Riggan is in Bute NC involed in an accout sale of Daniel Harris, dec'd. I "assume" this is Wm Powell (md to Elizabeth Reagan) and Wm Riggan-3 s/o Wm & Bridget both from Stafford VA. 1766 Bute tax list is Powell Riggan (same as Wm Riggan above in 1765?) Then in 1769 Wm Riggan of Surry VA purchases from Joseph Riggan. So now we have to Wm Riggans in Bute by 1769. Still not convinced Wm Powell R b. 1722 is s/o Wm of Surry VA. I think the Wm of Surry was Wm-4 b. abt 1730/d. 1813 Surry, s/o John-3 (but of course no proof). Then 1770 Wm Powell "R" is dec'd at age abt 48, leaving 6 sons 3 of whom are minors, John, James, and Richard. Dec 1770 Bute Wm Riggan-4? of Surry to Wm Durham adj Joseph Raggon & Wm Raggon-?. Here it look as though there is a 3rd Wm "R" (note: Riggan vs Raggon). Is this Wm a possible brother or son of Joseph/Mary (s/o Francis). Or is this Wm (b. by 1750) the s/o Wm Powell/Pricsilla? 1771 Bute Wm Riggin to Wm Durham note that it does not say "Wm R Surry". Does this refer to the other William-? R (connected to Joseph or s/o Wm/Pricsilla?) 1771 FWV Co., NC Powell Riggan-4 (Wm-3/Pricsilla?) b. by 1750 Wm Riggan (of Surry?) 1778 ROWAN NC Wm Reggins is a gaurd at the Salibury Dist Wm Rigen in Lopp'd dist Wm Rigen in capt Davis's dist 1782 & 1784 Surry VA Tax Wm Rigon (John-3) who has land in Bute? 1784 96th dist SC Wm & John Riggins 1790 Warren NC Wm Riggan (John/Ann Bell) Wm Riggan (Francis Sr-5) So where are "Wm R of Surry" VA & the other Wm "R"? Wm "R"of Surry (who is taxed in Surry in 1782 & 1784) possibly sold his land and back to Surry? the other Wm (s/o Wm/Pricsilla) is in Orange co., NC in 1790. Any feedback/comments welcomed Jim
