This is Susan AGAIN!
First let me thank all who answered my cry for help. I thank all of you!!
Now let me present the panel with a confusion I have come across.
1. Elisha Kirk is the father of Edna Kirk who married Joseph Cates b. 1808.
d 1854 Green Co, Mo
2. Anderson Cates s/o John Cates , and brother to William L. Cates is
married to Lucinda Sykes who may or may not be a sister to the wife of
William L. Cates who was Polly Sykes.
3. Documents showing that Elisha Kirk was the uncle of Lucinda Sykes Cates
(w/o Anderson Cates) left a parcel of land to said Lucinda for "love and
affection of my neice Lucinda Cates".
4 Another document states that Elisha left land to daughter of Anderson
Cates and his first wife Rebecca Howard. Doc. states
"to my favorite one".
5. If Luncinda Sykes and Polly Sykes are sisters, then we have a double
cousin thing between children of Anderson Cates and brother William L.
Cates.
6. This would indicate that Elisha Kirk had a sister who married a Sykes,
and I show in the IGI records : Lucy Kirk md to Allen Sykes on 18 Feb 1817
Orange Co, NC. and , Patsy Kirk md. to John Sykes on
16 Jun 1812 Orange Co. NC.
7. Is there anyone out there who may have evidence , etc,,,,as to who
Lucinda Sykes or Polly Sykes belongs to?
8. Is there anyone out there who may have ancestory of the Sykes family who
are willing to help me? And same of the Kirk family in Orange Co, NC.
Thanks for all your patience and assistance. I am so grateful for this list.
A second query has been posted to the Cates list.
