- William Ripley Campbell (born in New York?) was married to Silence Demons. Does anybody have any data on this marriage.
- Thomas Huckaby (b. 1745 in Virginia) was married to Keziah (Kesiah). Kesiah's maiden name is not know for certain. Many list her as Keziah Nuckolls (various spellings), while others list Keziah Self or Keziah Yancey. Does anybody have any primary data sources to clarify the confusion?
I work on two other databases:
B.L.C.S. Families
Bornemann, Lindner, Coy and Saxon (Pittsburg, Pennsylvania area around 1900), which includes the Fodor, Federlein, Acklin, Dorner, Gehring, Pack, Rodler, Houck, Helmer, Hohmann, Johnson, Kording, Kreutzer; Hartl, Schaub, Smith, Keith, Glasser, Weiss, and other families. These families are geographically concentrated in Pennsylvania and Florida.
G.P.M.H. Families
Gowin, Peace, Miller, Hamby, Blagg, Estes, Noziska, Butler, Woods, and many others. The bulk of the information for these families has been collected by Nadine Evans (grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother or otherwise an aunt or cousin or other relative to 'everybody' in the database). These families are located mostly in California, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
