In looking at the Vestal family you sent 11/16/97, I find I have slightly different list of ancestors for you to investigate. You have Rachel Elizabeth Vestal (1860-1891), d/o Thomas Vestal and Rachel, s/o William Vestal and Mary Wheeler. My records are undocumented and I have collected non-direct Vestals from various sources without documentation including LDS records. But I have the father of Rachel Elizabeth Vestal as Thomas Vestal (b.1830) and Rachel Martin m. in 1849, Chatham, NC. This Thomas the son of Thomas Vestal (18 Nov 1791) and Mary Brower, the son of William Vestal (1759-1828) and Mary Wheeler. You see by the dates of the line of fathers that this is more likely. As I say, I do not know the accuracy of the line I am stating only that I have gathered it and it is worth investigating. Hope this helps. Tom
