Hi, I was comparing your information with my sketchy info and found I did not have all these children for Samuel and Nancy. Were they all born in Patrick County? I have the middle initial of Samuel HANDY as "A". ???? I also have Sally HELMS as the mother of Nancy WILLIAMS. The middle name of William P. ORANDER is Pleasant. Many of them spelled it ORRENDER and several other variations. Thanks and good luck.
