Subject: Some corrections on family of Jesse Adams MOORMAN and Elizabeth Buckner STITH
To:
Hi Jess -
My name is Judith Ann (Presnell) Canant. I am a direct descendant in the
STITH, MOORMAN, ADAMS, BOLLING, COCKE, HALL, etc. families. I have been
working on these lines for a long time. Right now I am doing some
considerable work on the COCKE family, and have found some interesting things
and connections so far. (I don't know when that will be completed if ever ;-)
Here are some corrections to the family of Jesse Adams MOORMAN and
Elizabeth Buckner STITH. I am a direct descendant, and have done some
considerable research on this family. I thought you might like to have the
corrections to add to your site. I will add the sources under the outline.
