This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sturkie, Goodwin, Spires and others Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AgB.2ACI/1131.1 Message Board Post: That's a lot of names, but since there's a Lexington County connection I recognize all of them. But we're in luck here, I would hazard an educated guess that Z.A.W. Sturkie is Zedekiah Andrew Washington Sturkie of Lexington County, b. 11 Oct 1841 - d. 21 Dec 1883. He had a brother Daniel, as well as a son Daniel. My list of surnames is of those who are connected somehow to my LUCAS families but none of the names specified are on my lists. Many Goodwins and Spires during ZAW's years, but none I can help with. The name is Sturkie, often spelled Sturkey, and I'd say that Surkey is just an instance of poor spelling. Hope this little bit helps.
