I am descended from Isaac East, third son of Thomas and Obedience. Are you familiar with "Thomas East of Pittsylvania Co., Virginia" revised in 1947? It is available in the library in Richmond, Va. and at the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchberg, maybe in other libraries, but I know they are there. Also, the website belonging to Susan Shields Sasek has a copy of it. I will send you some information. Thanks!

Co. 3 July 1833. Betsy's (Elizabeth) parents are Phillip Collie and Rhoda Dodson. Rhoda's parents were George Dodson and Elizabeth. I have the Dodson family info and a little on the Collie family but I have hit a brick wall on James Terry who was born abt. 1812 in VA. The Dodsons came to Giles Co. TN as did James Terry and Betsy Collie. Can anyone help me find out who James Terry's parents were? He and his brother John and sister Elizabeth (Roberts) all named a son John so it is likely that their father was a John. But then the name Henry comes up in two of the families. I would appreciate any help on this family! I have been searching for 20 years! Julie

State of Virginia, County of Pittsylvania, I Anthony P. Lipford a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States under the act of June 1832 do hereby certify that I married a sister of Judith Robinson of the County of Halifax widow of George Robinson in 1785 and from the length of time that George and Judith Robinson had been living together as man and wife before I was married I feel safe in saying that they must have been married in 1778 or 9, though I was not present at the time the marriage took place but I have no doubt they were lawfully married as George Robinson was recognized as the legal husband of Judith Robinson and received a legatees part of the Estate as such in the year 1786. Given under my hand this 30 day of August 1839. Anthony (his mark) Lipford.
