I have the following for John Vertrees and Elizabeth VanMeter
1. Joseph Vertrees married Margaret Hodgen
2. Isaac Miles Vertrees (I have a question on this one)
3. John Vertrees II born Feb. 14, 1779
4. Daniel Hardin Vertrees
5. Jacob Vertrees b. 1785 Severns, Valley, KY
6. Charles Vertrees
7. Mary Vertrees (married ? Miles)
8. Sarah Vertrees married Edward Rawlings
Now do you see why there is some confusion. I also have a book on the Vertrees-VanMeter lines. One is Jess Thompson's History of Pike Co. Illinois, another is A History of Elizabethtown, KY by Samuel Haycraft Jr., and the 3rd is a Vertrees compilation-3 volumes that has been worked on for 15 or more years. Part is at the postmistresses house in Vertrees, KY where I first saw it.
