Jeff,

The information you post doesn't match what I have on my wife's JAMES
ancestors, but it's so close in names, place and time, that I thought
I'd send it along in case you can see something helpful -- or be able
to extend or correct mine.

The birthplaces of most of those below is Northumberland Co, VA. Where
it is known, most of the places of death are either Northumberland or
Hampshire Co, VA (now WV).
