Here's the Hawkins County Connection and Alexander and William D. in the 4th generation. Thank God it wasn't father & son marrying sisters...although, all those old dudes in Hollywood have wives younger than their children. Looks like every generation has multiple Alexandes and Williams. 9. ALEXANDER3 TRENT (WILLIAM2, HENRY1) was born Abt. 1710, and died Aft. 1792. He married ELIZABETH Bef. 1752.

The page with the 4th generation information doesn't have a mention of our Alexander or William D. Where can I find the Trent DNA project information? I notice it does not have Osborne attached to Charity Burton. My mom's notes said "family claimed she married an Osborne." Somebody has posted a William Osborne as Charity's first husband and it has him dying the year after James B.O.T. was born. I found a William Osborne in Grayson county but it had no marriage or death info. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
