Hi Alice G. --
You wrote:
That looks really good-especially the part about John being born in
VA. He
is too late to be the son of Benjamin and Mary, but he sure could come from
that same family.
Sorry for the confusion, the "Alice" that the original message was meant
(especially) for was Alice Long whom I believe descends from the John and
Sarah under discussion. He may fit in with your line, too -- that I don't
know.
I am afraid that I am confused. I am also afraid that that is not
too
uncommon for me. But I read your earlier message about Benjamin Catlett and
Mary and a son John. I think that this is the family for which I am
looking. Do you know anything more about Benjamin and Mary?
Am not sure which message you're referencing. Was it dated 14 Dec 1999? If
so, I don't have anything further -- the puzzler there is the court record
stating John was living in Kentucky. I've not consulted a map for Sevier Co.,
TN other than knowing it's in east TN (believing that's where your John and
others' wound up settling) -- how close is it to KY? I haven't looked at the
original court document from Caroline Co., VA either. It's entirely possible
that it wasn't transcribed correctly or possible that the court wasn't
provided the right information on John's location or possible, too, that he
lived in KY at one point and later TN.
My hunch is that the Sevier Co., TN group descend from the Caroline Co. group,
but I have no proof.
