Thanks to Amanda & Elmer for many nuggets in their messages. I've snipped because this posting will be complete on the originals. I hope I have not destroyed too much. Please answer, if you can, the following. 1) Was Ann Childs originally married to a Rixey? I had her name entered as Ann (Rixey) Childs. OR.. have I confused two different ladies? I had her married to Charles Jones; so I suspect I've made an error among my misc notes. 2) Nancy Butler in the will of Ann Embrey: Do you have any information on the Butler line? I have a John Butler, listed as an uncle of my Pierce/Pearce Butler Pennell, b.abt 1747. (From a will) So far, I can find nothing for the parents of the above P B Pennell (Various spellings.) ... Thanks.. Shirley S Previously written: ................... snipped................... William Stone was married to widow Mary Morris of Saunders Morris.
