Audrey, The reason I asked is this, Peggy Chapman had a personal contact that sent me some information once. But I did not recieve any sourse information at all with the information. In that it said that a William was the son of Hezikiah Cockrum and Elizabeth PACE Cockrum and listed his date of death. This William seems to be My William which is my DIRECT link down From My Hezikiah. This William married Mary Spillers daughter of George Spillers of which we have proof via the Will of George Spillers of Greenville Dist. SC in which he names his daughter Mary wife of William Cockrum. My only problem with this above information is this "I can't seem to find proof either for or against and I hate to say a person is wrong if I can't prove that either, and I am also always grateful for any tid bits thrown my way" However if I can't find something out there to confirm this as fact, I can't and want add it to my file. I learned a long time ago this tends to confuse people and makes them think that it is fact when in fact it is not, it is just assumed to be so. Know what I mean? Help...........................................stumped!! WAS there ever an Elizabeth PACE who did indeed marry Hezikiah Cockrum of Greenville Dist. SC. FACTS: Hezikiah shows up on the 1786 Tax list as insolvant for Surry Co. VA His son and first child and my link William was born that year in Jan. in fact so it had to have been in Surry Co. NC. that he was born. Most times back then, the couple did not travel far from the place of marriage for the earlier children to be born......................NOT always, but most times.............so if this holds true with my bunch then I would guess that Hez. and Eliz married in Surry Co. NC between 1784-1786 timeframe. So I guess what I really need to know is what PACE families lived in or around Surry NC about the time of 1784-1786? Where was the Samuel Pegg/Pigg family in this timeframe and who lived next door to them as best as we know today? He may have married a neighbor girl to his Mother? I really don't care at this point who she was I just want to learn the truth about who my 4th Great Grandmother really was? Thanks for any and all help Gail [email protected] [email protected] BUT ALWAYS embracer and always searching!
