"Ok, I am going to go out on a limb and say we have come to the conclusion that the best EDUCATED GUESS is that Jeremiah, son of WmSr and Sarah, is the father of Obediah. We believe it is intirely possible that Agness Angella is his mother. We know pretty well, Obediah got hold of some of Wm Sr's land. We are guessing how that happened. I am trying to write about the first 3 generations as fast as I can and I am counting on all of you to put in your opinions. I will give you all the records that we have for: Old New Kent, Hanover, Cumberland, Bedford, Franklin, and where some of the 3rd generation went. I will tell you the 2nt generation ONLY comprises Wm Jr and Jeremiah. We think all of us come from these two brothers."
