Finch
I'm convince Lemuel was either using an alias or was an alien. The first deed in Pittsylvania Co (Haven't found any in Campbell) says "hew comer" but by then he'd been in Campbell for at least two years since he married Phebe Blankenship in 1790 in Campbell Co. DNA doesn't link him to any other Colbert/Calvert/Calbert/Colvert groups. Me thinks he may have changed his name. Meanwhile while I believe Phebe was Hudson and Edith Wilkinson's daughter and I've been to the land in Windfall, I cannot prove she was his daughter. So far, nothing mentions her name. Most of the daughters marriage bonds state d/o Hudson Blankenship but Phebe's doesn't. And then there is the problem of only known the names of 4 of PHebe's children- Nancy, Thomas, William and John, and of those I can really only prove Nancy and John but Thomas and Sallie Keesee's Bible mentioned Lemuel- no relationship, just a name. My Mom was Libby Colbert, d/o JOe and Doris Jackson Colbert in Gretna/lynchburg. He was Oll!
ie Colbert's brother. Any proof on your end to prove Phebe belonged to Hudson and Edith?
I just chuckled. I'm related to a bnch of Finches in Altavista who own funeral homes as did Colbert's in Gretna VA, and I was thinking you were them but you're not! lol. You're a Colbert but I don't have you in my database. Thanks.
