Ah...the plot thickens.
Captain Joseph Jennings Fowlkes was born in 1761 in Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co., VA. His second wife was Mary (Polly) Hill Craddock, dau. of Col. William Cross Craddock of Amelia Co., VA. (Joseph and Mary (Polly) were wed on 9/29/1787 in Amelia Co., VA.THey had two children, Craddock and Elizabeth (Eliza).
Joseph's father was Joseph A., Sr. who was the 3rd child of Gabriel Fowlkes, the first known Fowlkes in America, for that line. Joseph Sr. married Mary Jane Jennings, dau. of Col. William Jennings and Mary Jane "Polly" Pulliam. To make it more complicated, Mary Jane's sister Sarah Jennings married Joseph Sr's brother John.
Hope this helps.
