Hello Reese
My 5th great grandfather was Benjamin Towler and he was born in Charles City County, Virgina and later living in Dinwiddie County, Viginia he married Martha Darby, They moved to Rutherford County, Tennessee about 1810 with a lot of Family.Benjamin Died in 1837 in Trenton, Gibson County, Tennessee in his will He names Isaac Dancy as his son-in-law and names is daughter Sallie/ Sarah, He also mentions several granddaughters one as Sallie Dancy, Sallie Scrape & Polly Chrisp, but enough of that. He names a Slave that he had given to his daughter by the name of Polly who was in the possession of one Isaac Dancy, Now Isaac was born in Charles City County, VA and moved to Dinwiddie County, VA and then to Tennessee, Now in reading the will it reads as though Benjamin's daughter Sallie had died and she was the will points to this being the same Isaac Dancy it was recorded on May 4, 1831 Gibson County, Tennessee.
