    2. Roll Call answer: I am researching David McNish & his wife Elizabeth Lewis. David inherited land from uncle(?) William Kirk in 1780's through his mother who was back in Scotland. William Kirk was murdered in Fauquier Co. and his widow Elizabeth married a Payne. David McNish had property on South Run listed as Snow Hill in 1815 Landowners book. He was deceased by 1815 and had three children: 1. Horatio McNish - who married Susan Dean(e) of Arlington & moved to Franklin, Tennessee in 1830's. His son William became confederate postmaster in Nashville during the Civil War after being discharged at the Union postmaster. He is my ancestral line. 2. William McNish - never married & stayed in Warrenton area. He was postmaster in Warrenton at one time, was at the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs & is listed in Keith family papers 3. Mary (Polly) McNish who married a Pickett Elizabeth (Lewis) McNish was the daughter of Zachariah(s) Lewis of Prince William Co. and Mary Brent (b.1732 - daughter of Charles Brent and Hannah Innes of Stafford Co.).Elizabeth has two sisters: Ann Blackwell married to David Blackwell and Hannah Brent. In his 1796 will Zachariah(s) Lewis will also mentions grandchildren with the names of Mary Lewis Allwell(Altwell?), Lewis Moorhead, Presly Moorhead, and Geroge William Brent Blackwell. I am also looking for a John McGeorge who was appointed guardian of David & Elizabeth McNish's children. He may be a relative of David's mother in Scotland. His mothers maiden name has been spelled as McIver/McIvor/McIoar and McGeorge. Thanks for starting a roll call!! Happy Holidays! Christine McNish
