NC. It is part of the original Davis land grant. We believe Hezekiah moved west after recieving this gift and the family lost track of him. John Jr. deeded 100 acres of this land to his son David Davis [1785] who moved to Henderson, CO., TN circa 1828. Before locating this deed we had famliy lore that Hezekiah existed. Now we know he is a real brother to our John Boswell Davis Jr. born Sept. 25, 1756 in Prince George, CO., MD.

I've got lots of sketchy info on Esquire and his many consorts but I'm not familiar with a child named "Mariba". I've got his and Sarah's children as Squire (b 1818) and Sarah (b 1817). Was your gggrandmother born before or after these two? Perhaps if we can piece together our information we can better complete the entire picture of his movements, etc. Please let me know what info I can send you and provide any details you've got on your gggrandmother!

I would welcome some help with Fanny Barnard and her maiden name. Fanny marked an affidavit on 22 Oct 1850 in order to get Reuben's pension from the war of 1812. She says that they were married on the 1? day of December 1799, by Richard Netherland, a magistrate. She also says "that her name before said marriage was Fanny Burton." She notes that Reuben died 6 September 1836. The pension file contains no other evidence of her maiden name. William (x) Ball and James Tunnell testify to their marriage but not her maiden name. It also contains a report of an unsuccessful search for a marriage record. There are two other relevant facts that I know. First, in the affidavit spacing is such that it appears Fanny's last name may have been inserted after the original drafting of the affidavit. My experience is that those who committed these documents to paper often left spaces when they did not understand something rather than clarifying at that moment, thus permitting the person testifying to complete their thought without interruption. I often use the "teeth test" on documents like this; asking whether if Fanny had no teeth, Dalton could be understood by a recorder as Burton. There are no other Burtons listed in District 16 in 1850 (although there are in District 10). There are other Daltons so if the name was unclear Dalton seems the natural entry. Ball and Tunnell both had known Daltons for years, so if Fanny needed help being understood you would have thought they could have lent their assistance. A. Patterson, a Justice of the Peace, took down the affidavit but I can not with confidence identify him in the 1850 census. The other is that the Daltons and the Barnards were very close in Hawkins. Jonathan Barnard took care of James and Aggy Dalton in their old age. Both the Daltons and Barnards came (I believe) from Pittsylvania County, VA. A marriage between the two families would have seemed to naturally create this bond. So, any help on why Fanny may be thought to be a Dalton in the face of this affidavit would be appreciated. -------------------- James F.

Helen, If that Bible has genealogical data recorded within and you do not already own a scanner, PLEASE find someone who does and send that Bible to its final exposure of bright light in order that it can be digitized and recorded. I did the same to my copyright 1841 Chesser Family Bible. After you get a quality copy via digitization, your Bible will suffer no more and you can freeze it in cryonic suspension for eternity after that!

I have a friend that has a Bible that is about 100 years old. He has had it in a zip lock bag to keep the dust off it. I would like to help him protect this treasure for his grandchildren and do not believe the zip lock bag is a good idea. I keep my old Bible wrapped in a soft white linen cloth in a drawer. I know not to have it exposed to sunlight. I would like to have a glass box made as a home for my Bible. I would appreciate any suggestion anyone would have about how to help my friend.
