Joseph LeQuires wife
I have been trying to confirm who Joseph LeQuire was married to.Some say it was a Watkins or a Green.But there is a researcher here in Rutherford Co., who has her down as a Jenny Smith, who was the daughter of Minor Wynn Smith and Jane Kennedy, Minor lived in, what is now upper Cleveland Co., (formed in 1840).
My gggrandmother was Narcussis LeQuire who married Daniel Melton, who was living in this same area in 1840.Their oldest child was named John Smith Melton, possibly named after Narcussis's grandfather John LeQuire and her grandfather Minor Smith.Also Joseph had a child by the name of Minor LeQuire and a Grandson by the name of Joseph Smith LeQuire.Looks like the name Smith and Minor is carried down in the LeQuire family.Although this is no proof.
The problem about the researcher is that she could not confirm where she got the information.
Minor Smith died about 1843 and left no will, there were about 11 children in the family not all have been named.
I will continue to look into this.
