Virginia,
Thanks so much for that.I was really curious about his daughter Nancy Ann Dismukes Moore Scurlock.I can't tell if she left town with Joseph Scurlock or not.Rumor, that I haven't been able to prove, indicates she had 2 children by Joseph???...
She was widow of Abraham Moore and then Married Joseph February 28, 1822 in Chatham Co, NC.
Joseph SCURLOCK fell on hard times, sold his slaves (except for 6) and wondered off into TN with his children and then on down into MS and AL.NO one knows where he is buried.I have found MOST of his children but no information about whether Nancy Ann went with him.Maybe not.He moves about 1826...and of course the census is not much help.
Joseph and his father in law by his first wife were involved in the TN Land Fraud...so I wonder if she stayed behind????
But thanks for the will...that at least tells me she does fit with George and ties the other kids together that I had.
Appreciate it very much.
Helen
