Shirley, I've been working lately trying to figure out the parents of RICHARD SHIPPEY m. ELLEN MOTT. There's another lady who had done quite a bit on the SHIPPEY lines. She collected records and I tried putting them all on a time time to see if any further clues open up. At this point, I am really focused on DODD connection to Richard Shippey and wife Mary. I'll jump in when I can to try to share ideas, etc. More experienced researchers may be able to read a record and make deductions that I'm not able to do at this point. So again, if someone can show me on what record that JOHN PIGG had daughter Elizabeth Pigg and that Elizabeth Pigg was wife of George Mott, please help me get that point. When I had to show a birth date for ELLEN MOTT, I used the Will of Soloman Martin which was written 28 October 1671 and had no probate date. [Rappahannock Co.] This man left his entire estate to George Mott and to his THREE children Elizabeth, Margaret and Anne. Ellen was not named so she evidently wasn't born yet and may have been on the way so to speak. I've used c/ca birth date for Ellen Mott as after "28 October 1671". I am wondering who this Soloman Martin was that he left everything to George Mott and his three children? If I can't nail down wife for George Mott as being a PIGG, maybe George Mott's wife "Elizabeth" was a Martin? Makes me wonder? Amanda
