Hi all, Terry sent some files on Alexander and one of the most interesting --
to me-- was the sale of some land from Polly Collison Humphreys-- that
accounted for her 1/7 interest in land from Alexander's estate. IF we could find the
same document for the other 6/7th parcels, it would certainly be wonderful.
Thanks Terry, You are really on the ball. I couldn't find a description of the
land in the document but the document was a wonderful addition to Alexander's
file.
So his children were Mary/Polly, Absolom, William, Nancy, Elizabeth, Austress
and Ruth. So our only hope of finding some males from this line will be from
Absolom and William. We also had a note (with a birthdate) for an Armstrong
but it must actually be for AUSTRESS -- so much for reading old handwriting <
smile>
Mark, I have a working file that I need to finish on Alexander and send for
you to post. Here are the only lines that I have found males who MIGHT possibly
still have living male descendants. Slim pickings for sure. Take care all.
Thanks again, Terry. Marilyn
