Good Evening! I am just stabbing in the dark, but my 3rd gr grandfather, John Lowry BEDSAUL, b. 1802, Grayson County, VA, one of the four children of Daniel BEDSAUL and Catherine EDWARDS, disappeared from the area, by 1809. I have found that Daniel BEDSAUL, following the death of his first wife, and a run-in with the law, moved to Grainger County, TN, and married a first cousin of his, Polly/Molly MARTIN, daughter of Amey BEDSAUL and George MARTIN. I presume that he took John with him. Daniel's two daughters stayed in the area and Mary was raised by her maternal grandparents, and Sarah was raised by a GREENE family. (Anyone with information on who this GREENE family was? I would be very grateful to know). Daniel was killed at Panther Springs in Hamblin County, TN, in an Indian raid in 1810, so John may have lived with his step-mother or his gr aunt and uncle Martin. But, I found John in Washington County, TN, by 1823, married to a Polly JONES. I have nothing more regarding that marriage, other than a suspicion that Polly JONES must have died in childbirth, because my records show that John Lowry's first child was born in 1826, and he did not marry his second wife (my 3rd gr grandmother, Mary C. BACON) until Oct 27, 1827. Knowing how often people tended to marry acquaintances, I am wondering whether any of you with JONES family, might have had some of your family also go to Washington County, TN? If so, perhaps that will give me some clues on Polly's line. Thanks. Jean Mayfield Cuevas
