About the Anglins -- you could put all the information I have on the Anglin/Anglen family into a thimble and still have room left over! (Or something.) My Elijah CREECH married Sarah ANGLIN, allegedly dau. of John and Jemima ANGLIN about 1800, presumably in Lee Co., VA. She died abt. 1829 in Lee Co. ... and he subsequently married, 2nd, a Nancy WILLIS. Elijah and Sarah CREECH were the parents of my gr.grandfather, Stephen Nelson CREECH, who married Margaret Frances Elizabeth ("Peggy Betty") HICKS/HIX in Lee Co. Gr.grandmother Peggy Betty HICKS was the dau. of James and Lydia HICKS. (I don't have my CREECH records out, just now, except for Elijah's (paper) Family Group Sheet, but if I remember correctly, there is a Hicks-Hobbs connection just back another generation or two. (I still am hard at work entering my dad's maternal lines into my paternal online Ancestry.com family tree, but didn't want to pass up this opportunity to make a possible [quick] connection with some of my mother's CREECH lineage!)

I have Elijah Creech borned 11 June 1779 in Old Dobbs Co. North Carolina. He died 1 june 1854 in Dryden, Lee County, Virginia. He was married twice. Once to Nancy Wells and once to Sarah Anglin. His daughter Mary was married to Campbell Thompson who was the son of Elizabeth Thorpe Thompson and William Thompson. Campbell was murdered and Mary remarried Jessee Thorpe, Campbell's 1st cousin. Mary had a number or children by Campbell and also a number by Jessee. One of Jessee and Mary's children was Henry. That was my grandfather. I suggest you try and get a copy of "Early Settlers of Lee County" Volumn 1. Starting on page 100 you will find a lot of information about the Creeches. If I can help you with this search, let me know.
