I have recently uncovered the facts below. They are quite literally the only info I have my Norman ancestor. Do you have any information that would help me with my research on this family?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cindy (Hubbard) Headen
(1) Henry W. Overby married T. Norman on 25 Sep 1839 in Rockingham Co., NC.
(2) Henry W. was the son of Smith Overby and the family moved back and forth between Rockingham Co., NC and Pittsylvania Co., VA. On the 1820 census in Rockingham Co., NC, Smith and family are listed one person below Kerenhappuch and John Norman. Henry would have been about 8 years old when this census was taken. If T. Norman was about the same age, according to the census info on Normans in the county, she would have been the daughter of either Kerenhappuch or John.
(3)My gg-grandmother, Nancy E. Overby, married Edward J. Wells (although the marriage license dated 31 May 1870 has Henry J....that's another puzzle for another time....)on 6 June 1870 in Rockingham Co., NC. The license lists her parents as Henry W. Overby and, what looks like, Tamasene Overby.
(4) The gravestone of Nancy's sister, Martha (Overby) Brown lists her parents as A. and W.H. Overby.
(5) A post on the Overby forum lists her parents as John Overby and Otteneser Unknown.
(6) The 1850 Pittsylvania Co, VA census shows Henry W.'s wife as Martha and "my" Nancy (who is sometimes listed as Mary) has not yet been born.
(7) The 1860 Pittsylvania Co., VA census shows Henry W.'s wife as Martha and "my" Nancy is listed as Mary E. age 7.
(8) Henry W. married Rebecca Dunbar in Pittsylvania Co. in 1865.
(9) The 1870 Rockingham Co., NC census shows Henry W.'s wife as Nan (correct age to be Rebecca) and "my" Nancy is listed as Nannie age 17.
