| Notes |
- Elizabeth's date of birth is based on date of her first child's birth.
There is no record to indicate when Barnabas moved to Fairfax Co. Va.
or whether he and Elizabeth ever lived in Maryland. Richard Radcliff
(a relative of Valinda, wife of Barnabas' brother, Jacob) purchased
a parcel of land in Truro parish held jointly by Lewis, Barnabas and
Elizabeth on 02 Jan 1792 for fifty five pounds two shillings and
sixpence so her death was sometime after this date.
Sometime between 1793 and 1794, Barnabas moved to Union Co. S. C. It
is not known whether
Elizabeth was alive at the time or not. If not, he may have moved
there because Samuel had relatives already living there and his
brother, Jacob, had moved to Georgia. Elizabeth probably was in her
mid forties when she died. If Margaret was born c1795, Elizabeth
would have been near the extremes of motherhood unless she married
fairly young. She might have died in
childbirth.
It is reasonable to assume that Ann is definately Martha's daugher;
that Margaret (Peggy)
could have been born to her c1799 (Adams family names); and that Mary
(06 May 1797) might
conceivably have been Elizabeth's last child.
For purposes of charting, however, until such time as more definite
information comes forth, Elizabeth is assumed to have died in1795 and
Barnabas took Martha Adams as his second wife prior to the birth of
their first child which we assume is Margaret, c1795 (could be c1799)
or Mary, 06 May 1797.
