Eleanor,
I was trying to tie in my Speight ancestor to William & Abigail, but after receiving their son William's will, it appears not to be. Perhaps you can tell me the possibility of there still being a relation such as cousin?
My William Speight was born est 1750's, I am assuming in NC. His first born was Albert, born in Wake County in 1800. William then moved to Dickson County TN where the remaing three of his sons were born. (Jesse, William, Arthur). Two fellow researchers have said his wife's name is Mary Berton(or Benton) or Sally Bish. I have found a William & Sally Bish, but cannot prove them to me yet. I have found no records of a Mary
Berton(or Benton).
Does any of this relate with any research you've uncovered? Thanks for any help.
