Re: Nappa Tandy's wife and parents

I have not visited this site for quite a while, but I have some changes to make to my former post of more than a year ago.At the time, I had only data that was shared with me by a cousin. I have had an opportunity to do only a small amount of research on this line but I have come to the conclusion that Rebecca's maiden name is unknown and have removed the name Nappa as her maiden name from my database. I am guessing that this name was added by someone because of Henry Nappa Tandy's middle name.It is anunusual name and because of the frequent practice of giving a son (or daughter) the maiden name of their mother as a given name, I am thinking that this is where it may have come from. More research is needed here.Also, my records show Henry as being born in Dublin, Ireland. I have no sources for this and have also since removed it from my database.
