Hello Perlie, hope this finds you years later.We need to swap data, both in public and in private!Our main line is the Randolph, and we have Creed Sr. and our Elvira:
"Elvira Elizabeth Randolph b. Feb. 28, 1812 in TN mar. Creed S. Engledow, Sr.(con ofCreed, Jr. and Sarah Payne)The lived in Nacagdoches County, Texas in 1835 and apparently lived in Missouri a short time before returning to East Texas".
From the limited information available, there appears to be a difference of opinion on the parents of Creed Sr. - either C. Creed & Sarah Payne OR John & Elizabeth Simpson.
1.Especially since it's your direct line, any PROOF of the parents, one way or the other?Given that one daughter is commonly listed as Sarah Payne Engledow, it would appear to be "common sense" for the parents to be C. Creed & Sarah Payne.
2.Any known source of the unusual given name of Creed?This is our main interest.Some earlier ancestor?
3.Could you take us down JUST a couple of generations from Creed Sr & Sarah Randolph.
In return, please visit our website for a rather complete set of the Randolph - would suggest you type in "elvira engledow" in the serach on the Home Page:
