America Henley Bullington married to Larkin Glazebrook
I am trying to develop my ancestral line for America Henley Bullington, the wife of Larkin Glazebrook. I am a descendent of their daughter America Hathaway, not of their son Otis Allen. I believe Miss Bullington's parents were Harfield (or Hearrod) Bullington and Sarah Tyree and paternal grandparents William Bullington and Sarah Bailey.However, I can find no documentation to support this line. On the marriage bond dated December 19,1842 of America and Larkin, James W Bullington attested that she was over 21. I am guessing that he was her brother, as Harfield, if he was her father, had died earlier in the year.I do have the will of William Bullington (filed March 4, 1783) that shows Hearrod as his son.I cannot find a will for Harfield or his wife Sarah. There is no death record for America, as she died August 21, 1905, during a 15 year period when Virginia did not keep death records. Her newspaper death notice said only she died after a long illness... No long obit as we know them today. (FYI Larkin's wasn't any longer. There was a front page story about him though, as he was city councilman during the Civil War era, but no family was mentioned.)
Otis's VMI file lists his paternal grandparents, but not his maternal line.
Does anyone have a documentation to support (or refute) America's ancestors? Is Harfield and Hearrod the same person?
