Hey Amanda, how are you. LOL ?? We travel in the same circles but never connect. My lineage is as follows: i. John Vivion I 1655-1705 in Middlesex Co., Va, m Margaret Smith ii. John Vivion II 1681-17022 Middlesex Co., Va married Elizabeth Thacker, dau of Henry Thacker, Jr.. this line goes back to my Henry Thacker and Eltonhead Conway and Edwin Conway and Martha Eltonhead grandparents. iii. John Vivion III 1714-1791 born in Middlesex Co., Va and died in Fayette Co., Ky m to Jane Smith. Thomas Vivion is a brother. iv. Elizabeth Vivion m Vivion Daniel 1726-1803 born in Middlesex Co., Va but lived in Orange Co., Va before moving to Clark Co., Ky where he died. I just found this record after I posted the first one: 27 September 1775 The indenture between James Quisenberry and Ann his wife of parish of Washington in County Westmoreland and Charles Deane of parish Hanover county of King George was witnessed by Thomas Drake among others. (Deed Abstracts of King George County, Virginia 1773-1783, Ruth and Sam Sparacio, 1994 p. 47-48) Wonder what the kinship is of James and Christopher Quisenberry. ?? Also, good news on the DNA testing on my Moses Cushenbery that died in Bourbon Co., Ky in 1792. DNA results are not completely back yet but results so far shows he could be a Va Quisenberry around the time of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr that died in Caroline Co., Va. but it is still too early to claim kinsmanship as we still have more results to come from the DNA lab. We are comparing our results on Moses with a Quisenberry man that can prove his descent from Aaron. Sr. Just a few more weeks and we will have a answer one way or the other after 29 years of research. Thought I would throw that in. It could fall apart as more results come in but it looks good right now. Thanks for the info. I will look it over and see what clicks. :) Marianne **************************************************************************************************************************************** Aug 16, 2010 10:28:27 PM, vafauqui@rootsweb.com wrote: >Hi Marianne, > >We sure do travel in similar circles.
