I have been both doing my own research and gleaning from others information that I might have missed. This is a combination of both of these efforts. I am wondering if anyone has any documented proof as to the lines shown here? I am willing to compile it and repost to thsi site. I am looking for deeds, census records, wills, certificates, war records, jail records, anything on this family. Notes I do have are included below.

The following excerpts are quoted from History of Buffalo Presbyterian Church and Her People, Greensboro, N. C., by Rev. S. M. Rankin; published by Jos. J. Stone & Co., Greensboro, NC, (publication date not specified, but apparently during the 1920's), pages 22 -__.
[Readers are encouraged to verify information contained in this chapter with their own research. There may be errors, as source documents from two centuries ago could have been misinterpreted. For example, in those days, "Jr." meant "the younger man who goes by the same name," and that designation could be used in court and other records to refer to a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, or even an unrelated individual who had the same name as the older man. "War" in these notes refers to the Revolutionary War. Rev. Rankin did not cite his sources, or footnote his statements.]

*4 In 1728, Walter Quinton left tracts called "Horsepond Ridge" and "Hambleton's Marsh" to his God-daughter, Margaret Edwards; John Nicks and Margaret, his wife, of Culpepper Co. VA, later transferred these tracts to Peter Davis, via their power of attorney to George Nicks and Isaac Nicks (Abstracts of Land Records of Dorchester Co. MD, by James McAllister, v 10, p 654)
Margaret's maiden name was NOT Quinton, as some researchers have thought. In his Will, in 1728, Walter Quinton, Jr. left land called "Horsepond Ridge" and "Hambleton's Marsh" in Dorchester Co, MD to his God daughter, Margaret Edwards, who appears to be a niece; in 1753, John Nicks and his wife, Margaret, sold that same land to Peter Davis of Talbot Co, MD, via their power of attorney to George Nicks and Isaac Nicks, brothers of John Nicks [IV].
