The connection I have is through Alfred Marion Petty, a Tubb descendant (from my Floyds) who married a Grayson. The Graysons came to Texas very early - about 1835-1837 from Madison Co., AL. Your bunch is probably from a different child if it connects at all. To change the subject, I'm interested in people who were in Surry Co., NC. I have a Stokes family - the one I am interested in was born in Halifax Co., Virginia. They are in Surry Co., NC soon afterward. I understand that the line between Halifax (probably from Lunenburg Co., VA) and Surry was "flexible." My John Stokes married Sarah Luticia Allen, dau of Richard Allen and Granddaughter of Thomas Allen. John's father was Samuel who married Mary Gentry. The names are not important as far as our "conversation" is concerned. Just the location in the time frame around the late 1700s and early 1800s. Are you "up" on what was going on in regard to land location in Surry during that period? Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: "A. S.
