Rhonda - I agree and have for years believed that the first wife of George D. was not a Nancy Johnson - reasoning Gideon would have had two Nancy's in his family - I had seen the reference to the Cotton marriage. Years ago, corresponding with Vivian Wheeler (as you probably know, her family did enormous amounts of work on the Deatherage/Easley line) I mentioned that to her and she also agreed, but once information is in print, it just keeps going around.
I will look in my paper files from years ago to see if I have an actual copy of that will of Gideon Johnson, and get back to you. I know Vivian and her Aunt (if I remember correctly) had the actual copies of the information they found. I don't know what happened to it - hopefully someone in the family donated it to a library of sorts.
There is a record of two land purchases by a Gideon Johnson in 1765, according to a map of Stokes Co., NC. The land would have been in Surry in 1765, but became Stokes in 1789. One of the purchased was very close to George Deatherage's Mill on Marshall's creek, in Stokes.
One of the reasons I wanted to communicate with you was on Nancy Frances Lankford b. 1798. There is a new website several Lankford researchers, including myself have been working on - source record, census, etc. If you will google Langford genealogy, you will find it. Several states are covered. It is a timeline to define and clarify the families. Do you know who Nancy Frances Lankford's parents were?
More later. Thanks for the response.
