List, I'm getting frustrated with myself at this point. Please pardon me while I say I goofed again! We do believe Mary Polly Burnett's mother was Nancy Pendleton. I got that right. However, the statement that Pryor Pendleton was the witness of her marriage to John Burnett was wrong: Pryor Pendleton was the witness at Jonathan and Mary Polly Burnett Boyd's marriage. I have been rather anxious to get the information posted since it's been almost a year of gathering enough information to post. I guess my haste is not paying off right now! I appreciate your patience, Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: Michelle Ligon To: vafrankl@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] Joseph Boyd b. 1770-1780 Franklin Co., VA List, Someone kindly corrected an error, on the Boyd list: I have two differing sources for Mary Polly Burnett's parents. I had taken the info from the wrong source in my files. (see original post below) Jonathan A. Boyd m. Nancy Burnett, dau of John and Nancy (nee Pendleton) Burnett. And, while the marriage record for John Burnett shows Nancy's maiden name as "Pennington," we believe Nancy's last name was Pendleton. Pryor Pendleton was the witness, possibly Nancy's uncle. Please excuse my errors, and do let me know if you notice one! Thank you, Michelle re: << V1 Jonathan A.
