Hello, My name is Darrell Thurman and I live in Oregon. I am researching THURMAN surname in Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri. According to LDS records submitted by family history researchers (IGI files), NANCY SANDRIDGE b Feb.4, 1759 in Albemarle Co., VA married JOHN THURMAN b Dec. 3, 1751 in Prince Edward Co., VA. I believe them to be my GGGG grandparents, but need to prove that. They married Dec 10, 1780 in Albemarle Co., VA and had 11 children, one being Jabez Thurman b Dec 25, 1795 in Virginia (my GGG grandfather). I cannot find any proof that Jabez is their son, other than John and Nancy lived in Sevier Co. TN in the early 1820s and Jabez owned land in adjoining Blount Co., TN in 1823. Other siblings also lived in and around Blount Co. during the same time period. Having just joined the SANDIDGE cousins I read all the archived messages and see that a lot of research has been going on and that Nancy was the daughter of William Sandidge and Elizabeth Graves. Also another sister of Nancy's married another THURMAN (William). Does anyone have any information on Nancy SANDIDGE and John THURMAN or their children? Or William THURMAN who may be related to my John THURMAN? Any assistance would be appreciated.
