Looking for Bays/Barclay connection, VA, 1700s
I'm looking for a possible marraige between a Bays and a Barclay, about 1765 to 1775. I have an ancestor named David Barclay Bays (Bayes, Baze, Bayse, who was born in VA about 1776. I know parents sometimes gave a son the mother's maiden name, and I've also noticed there were a number of David Barclays. My David Barclay Bays left VA by 1810 if not before as he had two sons born in TENN 1810-1816. He ended up in Missouri by 1840 after spending time in Ill. At least, this is the likely sequence of events based on early census reports and other researchers' information. Any informaion, even guesses, will be appreciated.
