I think this may be a duplicate of an e-mail I did send it was in my unsent. I believe
you replied. ( I am researching my 3g grandmother Lucinda Priest Thrailkill b VA May 25
1794 VA. It has been said she was 1/8 American Indian. Recently I acquired info
linking her father as John Priestb 1748 resided Culpeper Co VA 1778-1810, mother
Catherine Farrall b about 1755, John Priest's father was William Priest b abt 1725 d
abt 1792. William resided in Culpeper Co Va 1782-1792. Would you keep me in mind doing
your research in case you see any of these names. I have not been able to find anything
regarding American Indian heritage. You are the 1st person I have found also looking in
VA.) Thank You, Carrie Hogue
