Hi Sandra, Glad you asked! I was going to get to this. I am trying to get to bottom of who the parents were of ROBERT DADE who marrried ELIZABETH HARRISON with daughter ROSE. This is going around my elbow but ALEXANDER McCONCHIE's grandson, ROBERT KING McCONCHIE married ELIZABETH STIGLER who was the 3x great granddaughter of GEORGE MOTT. GEORGE MOTT had daughters Margaret Mott m. ALEXANDER DONIPHAN. Eleanor Mott m. RICHARD SHIPPEY, daughter Jael Shippey m. 1st William Underwood, 2nd Samuel Reeds and their daughter Mildred married 1st UNKNOWN BROWN, 2nd JAMES STIGLER whose daughhter Elizabeth Stigler m. ROBERT KING McCONCHIE. Mildred's sister JAEL REEDS m. LOTT HACKLEY. ALEXANDER McCONCHIE and LOTT HACKLEY did the 1785 estate inventory of CAPT. ROBERT KNOX. ROSE TOWNSEND DADE was d/o ELIZABETH HARRISON who married 1st ROBERT DADE, 2nd ROBERT MASTIN. ALEXANDER DONIPHAN did the estate inventory of ROBERT SLYE who was married to SUSANNAH GERARD. Susannah Gerard's sister Elizabeth Gerard married Nehemiah Blackistone and their daughter, Rebecca Blackistone, married Gerard Newton, son of JOHN NEWTON who had married ROSE the a widow of THOMAS GERARD. This ALL needs to be checked out with actual records as I'm no expert but there is a definite connection of all this to line of GEORGE MOTT and then around to ALEXANDER McCONCHIE. Maryland seems to be a common factor for these lines. I welcome all feedback and comments and I'm not stating any of this as fact as it needs more research and ultimately to be proven. It just seems to be holding up really well when looking at the records. Thanks, Amanda ================================================================ Rose Newton's will dated Dec. 1, 1712; probated Feb. 3, 1713 by Thomas Newton.)

[All this needs some really deep digging] [I think Rebecca had AUNT Susannah Gerard who was wife of ROBERT SLYE.] TOWNSEND DADE was supposedly married 1st to ELIZABETH ALEXANDER about 1714 in Stafford Co. Va. and had seven children one of which is supposedly ROBERT DADE b. 1723 in Saint Paul's Parish, Stafford Co. VA who married ELIZABETH HARRISON, d/o Verlinda Stone and Joseph Harrison. This the ROBERT DADE who was father of ROSE TOWNSEND DADE m. ROBERT KNOX. This is the estate of CAPT. ROBERT DADE who for certain married ELIZABETH HARRISON. Capt.
