I am a descendant of Edward Stringer and Frances Blackstone through Tabitha Stringer [my 3rd GGmother], sister of Elizabeth. Some of the Stringers went to Caswell Co, NC and some to Bullitt Co, KY. Thank you for posting the Hall information - did not know of the connection to the Stringer and Gentry lines. There may be more children of Elizabeth's that I have not entered into my computer. The Edmund Stringer you mention in the land transaction below is probably a brother of Elizabeth and Tabitha. There are other connections as well. In order to keep the post on the shorter side, I did not include the other children of Edward Stringer and his first wife, Frances Blackstone. I have interest in all collateral lines and descendants. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Descendants of Elizabeth Stringer I.
