speculating re Jacob falconbury
In my maternal tree, I use the spelling Falconbury, for the most part. He was quite a guy, as his biographies show. But there seems to be a chapter that was largely left out. And that is the period of time between the Revolutionary War and when he brought his family to Kentucky by 1804 at the latest. His modus operandi of carving out a homestead, and then returning to bring his family, seems to have happened in the early 1780's too. He apparently did that in South Carolina. The 1790 census, which I noted in passing, has two extra girls in the household. And since I am trying to trace the U5 mtDNA of Charity (the mother), that interests me. Assuming that they didn't die of some sort of swamp fever or other tragedy, they would have been old enough to get married before Jacob brought his family up to Kentucky. He acquired land in SC that has not been accounted for, and may have been given as dowries to those missing daughters. Any surviving U5 haplotype might be found in the Deep South, such as Mississippi, it they migrated there with the Fortenberrys for example. And it might even be that Charity's mtDNA turns out to be German.
