No. I don't have such a photo.

I think we all agree as to the descendants of Peter III and William, because Peter's will was destroyed when the court house burned and the court had to adjudicate his heirs, and William died owning land and several years later, when his children sold it, they and their spouses had to execute the deeds. That is how we know where they were at the time and that all William's sons had moved to Kentucky, Charles W. to Floyd County, John "Jack" and William to Carter County, and Peter C. to Knox County.

How are you fixed on data going back beyond Peter III and William? I still feel that among those with the name Bays and then living in Pittsylvania, Bedford, Patrick, and Henry Counties, some must have been brothers of Peter III and William, but we had our information on them because they moved to southwestern Virginia and lived relatively close together and their children must have visited.

I will wonder about John, Sr. and John, Jr. Meshack, Abednigo, William, Joseph, Joshua, Beverly, Josiah, Isham, and Keziah, all living in those counties. I understand that these descendants of one Abednigo did DNA testing and learned that he was a descendant of Peter I.

And, there were some in Russell County that we can't place.
