This probably won't help much, but I show that Rebecca Pettway is also a descendant of Mark Harwell.Mark's daughter Martha Harwell married John Pettway 8 Aug. 1770 in Sussex Co. VA."Mark Harwell's consent, Martha his daughter being under age."Witnesses were Sarah Harwell and Rhoda Harwell.Bond was dated 7 Aug. with John Pettway and Augustine Claiborne giving bond.This is not my line, and I can't supply proof that Rebecca is their daughter.I probably got the list of their children from someone at a Harwell reunion or from a Harwell newsletter.If you can trace this lady back to John and Rebecca Harwell, it will give you another path to look at, although the Pettways are harder to research than the Harwells.
I descend from Mark Harwell's son Richard who married Phoebe Pettway.I filed a DAR supplemental on Richard because he was not on the patriot's list.My proofs included lawsuits and wills of people not in my line, but it was approved.
Good luck.
