Chuck and Listers, Do you have your interpretation of this in a family tree format? Why do you refer to Marina as the Trophy Wife? There must be a story, I'm sure. I recall and I am not sure when a conversation about another wife, perhaps a Nancy Prat married about 1803. Did I get that mixed up? You said, "In his will, he mentions his daughter, Penina, wife of John Fletcher--" and she m. him after Henry Duncan. Penina m. 3 times; Etheridge, Duncan and Fletcher. Okay, I've got this real mixed up. Take a look at this in my family tree: 1. Penina2 Skinner (Nathan1) was born in ?. She married (1) David T. Etheridge Abt. 1805. He died Bef. February 07, 1825. She married (2) Henry Duncan Bet. February 07, 1825 - December 07, 1827. She married (3) John Fletcher Aft. 1827 - *****If she married Fletcher lastly, I used a date after her marriage to Duncan.**** Children of Penina Skinner and David Etheridge are: Married about 1805. 2 i. Elizabeth3 Etheridge. She married Jonathan Skinner Bef. February 07, 1825. 3 ii. Margaret 'Peggy' Etheridge. She married James Thomas Bef. December 07, 1827. 4 iii. Mary 'Polly' Etheridge. 5 iv. William T. Etheridge, born 1805. 6 v. John Etheridge, born 1818; died 1870. He married Mary E. Dennis; born Abt. 1820 in TN. 7 vi. Martha 'Patsy' Etheridge, born 1818; died 1911. She married Abraham Phillips, Jr. Bet. 1835 - February 06 1837; born 1816 in TN, killed by guerillas; died 1864 in Stewart Co., Standing Rock Creek TN. 8 vii. Sarah 'Sally' Etheridge, born 1823 in Davidson County, TN; died 1889. She married Peyton Thomas December 02, 1841; born April 06, 1820 in Trigg County, KY; died 1891. Children of Penina Skinner and John Fletcher are: If she married Fletcher after 1827, then why are the children's births before this date? Where have I gone wrong??????? 9 i. Elizabeth Betsy3 Fletcher, born 1790 in VA; died November 1835 in Stewart Co. TN, See SCHB Vol II, p607. She married Berry Williams 1824; born 1800 in NC; died 1843 in Stewart County, TN. 10 ii.

Brenda, Rita, and any others who responded on this subject: I only got Blair's of 2PM Thurs, (and Rita's, off list), then I see Rita & Brenda corresponding. We miss a lot when only some of the messages are on the list. Rita's directly to me contained living people; good reason. NOW, I see Blair's of 7:29AM, Fri., ONLY as the "Original Message" as the response to me --->when Rita answers her! And Brenda's of 7:41 PM, Thurs. I didn't get those. (Brenda sent me his will, months ago.) Let's see if I can answer what was aimed at me, AND what you aimed at each other, mostly in disagreement with what I posted. Where this is different from my first posting, I have accepted all your corrections/ additions, like Nathan's first wife was Marcy, instead: (BUT, I will have a large question at the bottom of this.) Brenda of 7:41 PM, Thurs: You have better data than I do. Nathan was b. Jan 29, 1779 and died Oct 26, 1846. He m. Marcy, 1802-3--div. in 1827; m. Marina (the Trophy Wife); she had the 2 kids, Melinda Skinner b. 1832 and Nathan b. 1834. She died Dec 19, 1845 and is buried next to him. And he m. Elizabeth Unknown Bruton (a widow, I think), for comfort in his old age, which didn't last long. Maybe he tried to act like a newly-wed, instead of like the old man he was (?) "In his will, he mentions his daughter, Penina, wife of John Fletcher--" yes, I had seen that; she m. him after Henry Duncan. Penina m. 3 times; Etheridge, Duncan and Fletcher. Brenda said: "I have yet to figure out where Penina Etheridge fits." She was named in Nathan's first guardian's filing (1825) for David T Etheridge's family. My ill-defined dates for her and daughters' marriages are brought on by the dating of those guardian's filings. And the other Penina, dau of Jonathan Skinner, is not to be confused. Any third Penina I know nothing about, nor her father, Moses--I think I had not seen his name. And I think that the group of all of you, and others not recently heard from, have sufficiently sorted out the family to not be confused, even though there's "a lot to unravel." NOW, my question: IF Nathan's m. to Marcy in 1802-3 was his first, how to resolve the dates: Penina had kids early: IF she was b. 1803, how come her son William Etheridge reached an age of majority so early, that I, working from the guardian's filings, placed his birth only a few years later ?? Clearly, I found him missing from those filings early. Couldn't find the filings UNTIL NOW! Will Book B: Page 4: Nathan Skinner, John Fletcher, J. B. Neville, Penina Etherige, guardian bond for Elizabeth Skinner, Pega? Etherige, John Etherige, Patsey Etherige, Polly Etherige, and Sally Etherige; 7 Feb 1825 Page 81: Nathan Skinner, William Sills, Rowland W. Wells, guardian bond for William Etheridge; 6 Feb 1826 --He's not yet 21 . Page 237: division of the personal estate of David T. Etherige between his widow (now Penina Duncan, wife of Henry Duncan) and his children William T. Etherige, Elizabeth Skinner (wife of Jonathan Skinner), Margret Thomas (wife of James Thomas), John Etherige, Martha (Patsy) Etherige, Polly Etherige, Sally Etherige; 7 Dec 1827 -->No age implied Will Book C: ---------->HE IS GONE: PROBABLY b. 1809 or before. <------ Page 44: guardian's return by Nathan Skinner, guardian to the heirs of John Bond (Thomas and Benjamin Bond) and guardian to John Etheridge, Sally Etheridge, Polly Etheridge, Martha Etheridge; 30 Jan 1830 Page 102: guardian's return by Nathan Skinner, guardian to the heirs of John Bond (Thomas and Benjamin Bond) and guardian to John Etheridge, Sally Etheridge, Mary Etheridge, Patsy Etheridge (Not Dated!) Page 459: William Etheridge, Enos Vinson, Nathan G. Morris, indenture bond for Uriah George Stokes; 2 Nov 1835 <--- So, --->he is for sure 21, and b. 1814, or before. How do you reconcile his birth with the reported m. of his GRANDPARENTS ?? And THAT'S why I latched onto that 1765 date I found for a birth in NC, and not the 1779 ! And had a marriage date for Penina Skinner so early, in conflict with her parents marriage. Q: Was Nathan m. before Marcy ?? Maybe to a Penina? And that's how I started this! Chuck

I got a little confused here. Are you saying that Richard L. Lancaster (1835- 1907) is the son of George Walter Lancaster (1885-?) & Callie Ruth Whitford. George W.'s parents were Nelson Alexander Lancaster (1853-1938) & Angelne Hensley b. 1861. Nelson's parents were Elijah Lancaster (1829-1908) and Elizabet Clauson (1831- 1908). If I understand this right, Richard is older than his father and grandfather. Need a little help here. Am I understanding this right?

Henry Austin Wallace (1871-1941); 2) George Walker Lancaster (1884-1972) If the name Emily Frances Carney seems familar..... she first m. Napolean Joice, Jr. (1839-?). Richard Lancaster from above is the son of George Walter Lancaster (1885-?) & Callie Ruth Whitford. George W.'s parents were Nelson Alexander Lancaster (1853-1938) & Angelne Hensley b. 1861.

I appreciate the information anyway. Because of the e-mail I have requested my military records which I have been wanting to do for a long time. I saw on the web site where it says it's not destroying records but scanning them for future use because the paper is becoming fragile.
