Hello, I've been getting more and more confused these last several days. This is the info i have. Is it correct???
Phoebe Belcher married Mitchell Clay. One of her daughters, Mary, was the second wife of Capt Ralph Stewart of the Revolution. I have it that Phoebe is the daughter of Ricahrd Belcher and Mary Obedience Clay. Now I'm wondering if Phoebe is the daughter of Francis Belcher and Phoebe Cabannis.??!! Also, this Mitchell Clay is the son of Wm Mitchell Clay and Anne Lewis. Correct? Also, if Phoebe is the daughter of Richard and Mary Obedience Clay Belcher, is Mary Obedience Clay related to the Mitchell Clay that her daughter, Phoebe, married. This is confusing, but I would like it cleared up so that I can begin more documentation. Thanks in advance for everything. Rose
Listers, I descend from Mary Clay and Ralph Stewart. Isn't Mary related to
Green Clay?....Not?...Rose
