Gary,

Thanks for the great notes!
A lot of this information I did not have. VERY interesting.
You may have read about Lucy Thomas. According to what I have found out, her maiden name could have been Thomas.
She had at least two children prior to her marrying James Neville, and later Abraham Childress. Her brother is mentioned as Michael Thomas on some records, so it would seem that her maiden name was Thomas. I descend from her son James Thomas (or whatever his last name was).

You mentioned an Abraham Childers and wife Francess of Albemarle in 1773. Do you have any idea if this was Abraham Childers IV? I have not found a wife for him so far.....
Also, I did not have a Joseph Childers in my notes.
Thanks again,
Susan
