Hi,
I research Troutmans of NC.I have read that Peter Beavers's daughter Elizabeth married Andrew Troutman.What is the proof for this???
I have seen the estate records of Paul Beaver, Peter's son, in which his legatees were listed.Since Paul died without children, his legatees were his siblings.One of these was Andrew Troutman, in right of his wife.I saw no mention of Andrew Troutman's wife's name.The 1850 Census of Rowan County shows an Andrew Troutman, age 65, with wife Elizabeth, age 65.
The problem I have is that there were two Andrew Troutmans in the area, first cousins who were about the same age.The other Andrew Troutman lived in Cabarrus County, NC and died there in 1845.The 1850 Census ofCabarrus lists a Margaret Troutman, age 65, alone in a household, and I believe she was the widow of Andrew Troutman of Cabarrus.
Is it possible that Margaret who married the Cabarrus County Andrew Troutman was Peter Beaver's daughter, instead of the Elizabeth who married the Rowan County Andrew Troutman?I have some evidence which suggests that Elizabeth, wife of the Rowan County Andrew, was a born a Fesperman.
So, can someone please tell me the proof that Peter Beaver's daughter who married Andrew Troutman was named Elizabeth?
Thanks,
Robert Burke
