In a message dated 99-07-24 23:25:25 EDT, you write: << Jesse Vestal (Son of Silas Vestal/Rachel Culbertson) >> This person I am particularly interested in also. I am still looking for parents of my Jesse Vestal b ca 1812 N Car married at least twice the first wife said to be Mary "Mandy" JONES m ca 1836 Tenn ,one child Thomas Jefferson Vestal b 1837 Tenn wife #2 unknown was said to have been Sarah DAVIS sister of third wife Martha DAVIS King but this proven false. Children by wife #2 are Nancy b 1943 Tenn, James b 1844 Mo and Mary B 1846 Mo (These may be actually from Wife #1 but family of Thomas Jeff. says he was the only child of that union) ) Nancy and Mary marry Rogers brothers and disappear...possibly to Texas. ANY DESCENDANTS OUT THERE!!!??? James dies of Measles in 1862 while in the Union army. Wife #3 is Martha DAVIS King married 14 Oct 1849 in LaClede Co Mo children are Nathaniel (Nathan) (my line) , Ephraim Allen (known as DOC) , Henry Martin (known as Hughey) I have more on Martha Davis's line. Any clues about my Jesse is much appreciated. I have long suspected the Surry Co N Car Vestals because Martha DAVIS was from there too. Kerry Fleming
