Dear Irma, Thank you for the lead. Do you have any information that connects Richard, Bennett, William and Joseph as family while in Va(Ky)? The book "The Seven Sons of Abraham and Creasey Nalley" list Richard (b. cir. 1716) as having a brother named Joseph, sons of Dennis(b. cir. 1693), son of John Nall(y). These brohters had an uncle named Joseph and another named William. These uncles were born cir. 1695 in Maryland. The family of Richard is known to have moved into NW Va and then further south, but not all of those that moved out of Maryland were researched as to where they went. Any help appreciated and if you would like a gedcom of Richard's ancestors as transcribed from the book, just let me know. The book has been published at http://www.innerx.net/~pln. Thanks, Paul L.
