I receive this in response to a query to Eunice Vestal, a Vestal researcher: >"John Vestal, born 2 Aug 1770, Cane Creek MM., Chatham Co., NC, the >son of Thomas and Elizabeth Davis Vestal, m 1st (date unknown) >Hannah Dixon, nothing further known. He was reported married to >Elizabeth Carter, d/o Samuel and Mary (Barnes) Carter by 7 Feb 1795 >(Cane Creek MM, NC). They had five children: Mary, Samuel, Jemima, >Rachel, and Elizabeth. John's will, dated 10 July 1804, Warren Co., >OH mentions son Samuel and "all the girls." His wife was pregnant >at the time and he made different provisions if the baby should be a >boy or a girl. It turned out to be a girl. A couple of the >children were born in NC but the family had moved to OH before 1799." I have John Vestal married Elizabeth Carter 2 May 1795, Randolph Co., NC . Elizabeth Carter born 17 June 1769, Cane Creek MM, Orange Co., NC. Note the above Elizabeth Carter could be the source of "Sibby" wife of John Vestal, but the above children are proven by the will. Therefore the above John is not the father of James Vestal who married Jemima Wright in Wayne Co., KY. Of course, there could be another source for Sibby. Tom
