Naomi (and whoever else can help), Thank you for the reply. Yes, last week was busy, and like you, I have gotten information on other lines besides the Creeches and am running behind. I am having a tough time connecting with Elijah and Elisha Creech. I know the connection exists, but I can't seem to get these names sorted out. I have Elijah b. bef. 1819, married to Nancy Spencer, with children Clarinda, Vina, Jenny, Rebecca, Elisha, and Elias. I have an (apparently) earlier marriage for him, to "Unknown," with a son John b. abt 1810. I have three Elishas; (1) b. Feb. 17, 1816 in Lee Co. VA, m. Priscilla Gilbert; (2) b. 1825 in Harlan Co, KY m. to Lavina Kilborn, and (3) Elisha L. b. abt 1855 in Harlan Co., KY m. to Martha Virginia Robbins. I can't even get these Elishas to be related to each other. And thank you, Melva Pearce, for sending me a large amount of new info on the Creeches, but again, I can't figure out who is who to get them connected with what I already have. The Elisha in your records b. 1825 is shown with different parents than what I have; I have Mariah Pennington and Isaac Creech; you have Jonathan Creech and Jane Blair. Were there two Elishas born that year, or do I have some people in the wrong place? Or both? HELP! And thanks in advance. Marsil's post came in just as I was finishing this; so does this mean that Elijah was not married to Nancy Willis at all? If so, then I think half my above questions have been answered. I hope. :-) [And how are things in Roswell tonight?] Vanette
