    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FCC.2ACE/522.1.1.1.2.2 Message Board Post: I wrote a book and would be happy to send you a copy. Please send me an email at [email protected] I descend from John & Ruhama. I still haven't gotten any farther back than Old William along the Potomac. The current owner is having an archealogical dig done on an ongoing basis. He has also contacted an Historical researcher to find out more about William. There are a couple of good leads, but nothing definite yet. Dinah was a Butt, not a Darke. She was the daughter of Richard and Mary Butt. Richard died in 1715 and Mary married John Metcalf shortly thereafter. By Metcalf she had children George, Vatchel and Susan. Dinah was born in 1708. Regnal's estimated birth year is incorrect. Bob Green was estimating Regnal's birth years based on a horse ride he made on his 100th Birthday. We don't know when that Birthday was, but it could have occured anytime after 1806 and before about 1860. A more sensible time span for Regnal's birth is between 1724-1734. We know that Dinah and her Mother were in Prince Georges County Maryland and can assume that William was close by. There is a James Green in the same general area that had a son, William, but we can't find the documentation yet to tie this together. There are still other possibilities so I would hesitate to lock that one down. Regnal was married to Sarah Butt in Berkeley Co., it could have been Regnal Jr. or Sr. According to tax records, Regnal Jr. was 21 or over by 1787. We do know that Regnal Sr.'s wife was named Sarah in 1802, when he sold his property along the Potomac. Regnal was not married to Sarah Duncan. Robert Green discovered after the publication of his book, and Sarah, the sister of Matthew Duncan actually married a man named Greer. If you are interested in the book, it's on CD-Rom. Only the first several pages will be of interest to you. Again, write to my e-mail address if you are interested.
