Nancy,
Here are a few comments on this lengthly compilation of yours. It is great.
Carlos Church should read CURLES. I have been told Sometimes referred to as "The Curles" as it in bend of James River.
Martha (Peck) Lancaster married Simmons PEEK/PEEKE not Peck
66. IV should read ANSELM Lancaster not Anselin (From Bible)I have a large pink conch shell carved with "LANCASTER 1830" that has been handed down in the family. The only significant thing that happened in the family that year was the birth of Anselm who may have done the carving.
Samuel Christopher Lancaster, my great grandfather born 1865 died 4 Mar 1941 Portland, Multnomah Co. OR not in Jackson, TN
Henrietta Rhuhannah Lancaster wife of John Edmond Ruley died 17 Dec 1953 not in 1920. It was her husband who died 19 Dec 1920
Marie Ella Potts (my great grandmother) gave herself the name Marie as a teenager as being a fancier form of her name Mary Ella. This according to her grandaughter Elaine McMinn Mortimore. In their Bible she just lists herself as Ella Potts Lancaster. She always was called Ella.
She was born near Holly Springs, Marshall Co. MS not Tippah Co. The area where she was born was Potts Camp which lies on the border of Marshall and Benton counties. Marie Ella Potts Lancaster died 1 Jan 1854 Holmes Beach, Anna Maria Island, Manatee Co., FL

Her sister Elizabeth Chistina should read CHRISTINE (Bible and personal letters). She went by Christine. never married - a nurse - took care of her Uncle John Lynch Lancaster in his later years in Dallas, TX. You have typo for him as Dalla. Christine died 17 Dec 1984 Fort Meyers, Lee Co. FL
