I am a direct descendant of the subject line Veech, father of Rebecca Veech who married my fourth ggf Joseph Wright. Most sources generally agree that this James Veech was b. in 1741, but his death date in the various trees here varies. Some say 1775--patently wrong, since he seemingly fathered children in the years after. Other trees specify 1823 without reference. Findagrave.com gives his death sate as the extraordinary 1843, but this is so exceptional given the times (he'd be 102 at death!) that I have questioned the accuracy and have written the genealogist who posted the record to confirm.
If any other Veech/Veitch/Veach/etc. relations have any insight here, I would be deeply grateful.
