Nita,
If you've have checked Lula (Hankins) Hunter's transcript of the Archibald Thompson Diary at http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/archibald/http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/archibald/ ,page 19,b (see copy pasted below) you have seen that Archibald recorded only Mary, b. 1769 (later married a Lester?); Betty "Elizabeth, 1771, m. Abijah Whitt, allegedly the son of the Rev. Richard Whitt and Susanna Skaggs, and Jonathan, 1773, as children of John III and Susanna Unknown. He also has a Joseph, b. 1788, as a son of Mary, the dau. born in 1769.
I don't understand why he would not have listed all the children, as it's clear there is evidence of an Edmund and Bradley, and now your William. Also was there another Joseph born to John III and Susanna?
We've been unable to get proof of Bradley's birth;Edmund's and Elizabeth's marriages are on record, and I believe your William's line is given in the Tazewell history book.
I talked to Gary Elswick, a long-time Elswick researcher a few times and he told me he that although he has no documented proof for Bradley as s/o John III and Susanna Unknown,he has enough support, land transcation and such,to tie Bradley to his mother, Susanna.
Do you have any help to document any of the other children. Lots of us Elswicks are looking.
I descend from Mary, b. 1741, sister of John III.
Thanks,
Jemima
