Dear Friends,
For twenty five years I have been researching many of the earliest
families in America. The following are just a few of the names and
places that appear in the book that is now being published and ready for
distribution. This historical work documents the Scots-Irish migration
From Jamestown to Texas. Along the way, the English, French and German
migrations are also a major factor. From Yorktown to the Alamo our
greatest heros seem to stem from the same group of initial families that
arrived on the shores of America in the early 1600's. Below, I have a
sketch of the primary families involved but there are many, many more
mentioned in this work. I also have more than 2000 pages of notes which
have been condensed to form the basis for the information put forth in
the book. Ordering information can be found at my website:
www.bettystrails.com or you may go direct to the bookstore at
iuniverse.com. and order immediately. The title will appear on Barnes &
Nobles, Books A Million and Amazon websites in 4-6 weeks.

I have a James CLOID of Lincoln Co. KY who mar. Mar 1800 to Chanty
(Charity?) GRAHAM according to Lincoln County Kentucky Marriage Records
1793 - 1800 comp. by E. P. Ellsbury. Found this at Anestry.com. What
do you think? Nez G
James Cloyd's will is recorded in May 1804 in Lincoln Co, KY. In it he
mentions 2 sisters and their children: Margaret (Peggy) Nash and Mary
(Polly) Lockridge. He does not name his wife. Do any of you have a James
that might fit these data?
