Yes, "Thyatira" is the correct spelling for the church. I got it wrong!
There is a set of books in the Yadkin County, NC Public Library on the Descendants of Strangeman Hutchens. I can take a look and see if there is any additional info pertaining to Geo. C. and Elijah Brandon and Tillar and Alice Jane Hutchens.
I am hoping to cross paths with someone who ties into the George who is buried at Thyatira. He had sons named Abraham, John, George and Christopher. Christopher also had a son named George. I descend from Christopher through his son, Thomas. Does anyone know if anybody who has done DNA testing has tied back to the George buried at Thyatira?
