    3. In looking for data on Winifred Andrews, daughter of Wm. & Avis Andrews of Dinwiddie Co., I can not find much specific information. We know that she married a "Granger" since that was the name given in William's will. (1770) Did she marry John Granger of Lunenburg Co.? I found the following in Lunenburg Co. data: --------------------------------------------------------------- Granger, John 12-10-1793; 1-9-1794; W.B. 4/43-4 Mentions: Wife: Agnes Granger Sons: Annenias Granger, John Granger, Benjamin Granger Daughters: Lucretia Granger, Bray Granger, Laurania Granger, Polly Granger, Avis Wills and her children Grandsons: Moses Granger, Annenais Granger Executors: Benjamin Gee, Jr., Benjamin Andrews, Drury Andrews Witnesses: Peter Garland, Nevil Gee, Curtis (?) Hardy. Marriage record: John Granger Agness Roberts 2/21/1781 -------------------------------------------------------- Some data shows this John Granger to be the son of Winifred and John Granger. But if you look at the date of this above marriage (1781) and the date of his will (1793), he had only been married 12 years. Certainly not long enough for the grandchildren mentioned in his will. Could this be the Granger that married Winifred, and perhaps after her death, he married Agness? I'm just guessing at this, but I just don't think Agness was his first wife....... I also noticed that one daughter of Granger's was Avis. Could this have been a daughter named after her grandmother, Avis? Would like some feedback. Thanks. Sue
