Bob, this is really an old posting, so don't know if you will get it or not, but Chloe Ann Mayes and John Bates are my 5th great grandparents.Have you found any new information since this posting as to Chloe's ancestors?I know her father was William as she is listed in his will.The other two Williams I have been given as her grandfather and great grand father are speculative as to whether they fit into her line or not. (I have their wills)Any suggestions as to whether they belong or not?
WILLIAM m. to Mary, will Nov. 8, 1747/48 (Lunenburg Co. VA)
WILLIAM m. to Elizabeth, will April 13, 1751 (Amelia Co. VA)
WILLIAM m. to Sarah, will Dec. 19, 1793 (Halifax Co. VA)
The problem I am having with this succession is in the 2nd William's Will (1751) he listed a son William and wife Winifred.Is the 3rd William's wife, Sarah, a nickname for Winifred?Or are the first two Williams incorrect for the ancestory of Chloe? Any help you can give would be appreciated.Doyleen
