The more serious question is not with Thomas Richeson and Rebecca DeJarnette but with Joseph Richeson SR and his wife Elizabeth. The only place-after 40+ years research-that her name is Burdette was found in Virkus' Compendium Vol. 4, p 79. think its also in another of his volumes. But all professional genealogists claim that Virkus has no proof-only things people send in and therefore is not relevent without proof. I know that Rebecca is dau. of Joseph DeJarnette and that she married Thomas Richeson as this was written down in old family records for the Cowherd family. I am convinced Hankins has confused the 2 families and see no proof offered here. I have yet to see proof. And I have copies of the records-deeds, etc. from Caroline Co,VA Court Books and it does not show these 2 sisters as children of George to my satisfaction.
