Sue,
Every year I go back home to Mannassas for several weeks and do research. This past year I made a connection that took forever to verify. Anyway here is what I found that put some of this puzzle together for me. Now everything is backing up.
First-1903 James W. Jenkins Jr. m Elizabeth Soloma Deal 12 Dec. Witnessed by Jams Sr. and Mildred Jenkins / Silas and Milly Deal.
Silas Deal and Catherine S. Berry m 29 Dec 1880. He was 30 / she 40.
I had a hard time finding Silas father but through a kind assistant I found the family.
According to the 1850 Census of Rapp Co Va.
the Deal Family of Malory Deal hit pay dirt.
Malory b: 1828 age 22 m June b: 1825 age 25
Rosy 44 (mother to either)
Children:
Martha 6b: 1842
Elizabeth 6 b: 1834
William 4 b: 1846
Silas 4 b: 1846
Alpheries 12 b: 1838
As for the Berrys I can connect then back to the Browns of Brown's Mountain. If it sounds good let me know.
