Do you have marriage record for Old John's 1723 marriage to Mary Blake? My ancestor, George Somers, son of old John was born circa 1720, which would make him the son of Sythia Lucas, according to your records. Perhaps he was Sythia's son, but she died and he was reared by Mary Blake. That sounds like a good scenario. I do not have any copies of marriage bonds, etc...would appreciate copies of yours, for which I would happily pay you. Please let me know via this board or by my personal e-mail address. My ancestor, George, left Fairfax county for Caswell county, N.C., along with his daughter's family, the Landmans (Lanman). This is a fascinating family to study, one of my favorites.
