Hi Pat, Will post this to list, also. Just looked at your info again. Looks like a possibility to me. George named one daughter Mary. When I look at date of Nathaniel's death, 1735, then I think he'd have died just 10 years after George was born. Possibility if George was the baby of the family. Heard from Nancy Parker. She's supposed to get back to me after looking at my web page. Nancy helped Luther quite a bit with the info in Luther's book. She went to VA to search through archives. It may have been Nancy that supposed that Nathaniel could be the father. Will have to ask her about that. Anyone on the list who has more on the wills that Pat posted earlier?
