About your Jett research, your first paragraph reads: I hope this information helps others sort out some of the Jetts of Fauquier County, Virginia. "My" William Jett was born in 1763 or 1764; served in the Virginia Militia under General Washington at Yorktown in 1781; married twice; and died in 1851. My comment: I do question whether the same William Jett who was born in 1763 may have lived to 1851. This is a mighty long lifetime for a person of that era. Of course, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson had long lives, but considering the state of medicine in that day and age, I am always skeptical of these long lives for our early ancestors. I am an oldster, and therefore, I remember when persons, especially children, died of pneumonia. Neighbors would volunteer to sit with a patient, especially a child, until he/she passed a crisis--whatever that was. In the 1960s, when I went as a mature student to graduate school, there was a several day seminar on victims of rubella at that University. We are all used to modern medicine curing us of many ills, and we get angry when it doesn't. Could you possibly have two William Jetts? Good luck with your research! E.W.Wallace
