Hi- I am trying to find more info about my husband's Halifax ancestors. He has a William Robertson m- Martha Brooks 1826 in Halifax Co. Va. Moved to Smith co. TN and then Gibson Co. TN. It is believed William is the son of John Robertson and Frances Abbott and Frances Abbott is the dau. of Joseph Abbott - d- 1788 in Halifax Co. In 1750, there was a Benjamin Abbott and Richard Brown who had land surveyed together and they owned land jointly. Through the records, they were constantly doing things together, witnessing deeds, being sued together and getting each other out of debt. But I cannot find the connection between the two. Does anyone know what this connection was and have info on this line? Thank you. Lois Haile <heartbar@proaxis.com>
