Hi Otis, You are right about William being a Harper. I failed to put his whole name on my fam sheet. Sorry about that. :) William could have been a brother of Adam's wife, Mary Magdelena Harper. My referrences for Mahalia M. Judy who m. Robert Johnson came from his Granddaughter, Julia Thompson. Mahalia died before her Father made his will could be the reason she wasn't named in his will. (Adam's will in WB5 pg. 22-24 - Pdln. Co.) There could be 2 Williams. The Elizabeth in question mar. Wm. H. H. Ayers 18 Nov. 1845. I put ca (about) for I didn't know the exact date of the birth. 10 yrs. old to marry might be too young but 15, yes, that is possible back then. Then again, the ladies that sent me the data could be wrong and I'm at fault for not asking about referrences or sending for a mar. rec. myself. Elizabeth who m. Wm. H.H. Ayers, was in her Father's will but the will did not list her married name. BUT, Philip Phares, (who she m. 17 June 1858) was one of the Executors of Adam's will. In a deed (DB "E" pg. 83) - Randolph Co., dated 10 April 1871 the heirs sold land to John W. Mullenax and it lists Philip PHARES and wife Elizabeth of Rockingham Co.; I also received data from Elizabeth's Granddaughter, Lizzie Bible, as well as data from Julia Thompson as referrences of both of Elizabeth's marriages. Otis, the "Alt & Kimble Fam." book could be wrong. Did you send for any mar. record??? I didn't for it really isn't my direct line. Elizabeth is a sister to my Mary Catherine and I do have a copy of her mar. rec.. There's a period that they didn't record parents on the mar. records. But there's other things to check like a mar. bond, or old newspapers for a notice of the mar.. Or a Church record. If you have any of this documented, I'd like to know about it for I'd like to have my records correct. Thanks for writing, Helen
