I think this might possibly relate to some of the CASPER families that have been posted to the list recently. My research area is LEMLY/LEMLEY but would like to know how any of these might intermingle. We have not been able to "prove" that the George LEMLEY named below was the same George LEMLEY who lived in Rowan Co. and m. Catherine LINBARIER in 1805. If this is the CASPER family from Rowan, then perhaps they were neighbors, friends, etc., who travelled together? Would appreciate any info.
