I am a descendant of Byrd and Sarah (Brantley) Gean of Chatham, NC. Am desperately looking for info on Byrd's parents or siblings.

Do you have any other info on the Geans you are seeking?

Re the above:

Parnacia is variously spelled Parnesse, Pernicia, and other variations. She is the gr-gr-grandmother o the lady whose line I'm trying to trace. Her son's death certificate shows her name as Parnessse, and lists his father as "Andrews" - no 1st name.

I see that her sister Piety has a husband? named John Andrews. Could there be a mixup here? Or something else? Pernicia's son William had the surname Gean

The plot thickens

Surnames: Gean/Geen/Jean/Jane/Jayne (e, es, s) Families
The Byrd Gean that married Sarah Brantley was most likely a cousin of the descendants of Bird Gean and Mourning Cates.

As to Pernecia (per her tombstone), she was the daughter of William Gean and his wife Mary Brewer (?). I have never found proof that she was a Brewer though and Pernceia's death certificate shows her as a McLoud (McLeod?). Probate records of William prove that Pernecia & Piety were his daughters.

I am not sure if Alexander's father was an Andrews, if it was for his Uncle Lincoln Andrews, or what. His marriage certificate lists his father as Joe Marshall, dec'd. Some say Pernecia married a cousin Will Gean, but I have found no record of that, nor do I have a clue who that could even be. Who Pernecia married, if she ever married is not known to me.
