I have come across a will abstract that mentions "..my half sisters Lydia, Elizabeth, Sarah, Martha, Jane." The will is dated 5/8/1797. I don't know where the man who left the will was born or where the sisters were born, but I'd guess the VA/TN/NC/SC/GA area. Any of this sound familiar to anyone? Maybe you have a woman with one of these names and no more information on her -- if she was born by 1797, I'd like to hear from you. Anne
