BILL, will send thro our SELLERS group. our Pridgen/Sellers connected to 1750/60/70 New Hanover, Sampson, Duplin Co, NC to GA, etc Deal's may NOT have connected until GA? Pridgen-L group would help you the most on James Pridgen. WE had SELLERS in 1805 Jackson Co,Ga and 1830 JASPER CO, GA, after your/our? PRIDGENS were there. DON'T know if those SELLERS/PRIDGENS are from above NC! CAN'T prove them. thanks for sharing, marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: DEAL1FOX1@aol.com [mailto:DEAL1FOX1@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 9:34 PM To: mari@netins.net Cc: Wmcdeal@aol.com Subject: JAMES PRIDGEN Marie: I'm researching a James PRIDGEN who married my gr-gr-gr-grandmother, Jamima (JACKSON) Deal, the widow of William Deal of Jackson [and nearby] counties, GA. This James Pridgen was appointed guardian of two of Wm. Deal's orphans in Jasper Co, GAS in 1822/23. Are you descended from this person, and do you have pertinent info on the PRIDGEN / DEAL family?
