What I wish to see is what documentation is there for the marriage of Joseph Anthony Jr. to Elizabeth Clark?It apparently did not happen in Henry Co. VA as no record of that marriage is found.However there is documents of a Joseph ANTHONY who married Jane FERRIS in 1777.It is also shown that they were married by Joseph ANTHONY,in the Baptist church.Now the question also comes up as to how many Joseph ANTHONY's were resident in Henry Co. VA in the mid to late 1700's.And how friendly were Jacob FERRIS and Joseph ANTHONY Sr.?These are the arguments which are put forward by Stella Anthony Thompson in her paper.They are very persuasive.What is needed is to compare the documentation for the other alternative lines.Another question is naming conventions in these families?It has been speculated that the Reverend Joseph ANTHONY was possibly the son of Thomas ANTHONY and Elizabeth MARTIN, yet I don't believe he named any of his children Thomas?It seems pretty common that they kept to given names which were in their families and did name a child after the father and grandfathers pretty consistently.This is very interesting and it would be very interesting to review the documentation from the CLARK line to see just what can be proven.
