Hello Donna !
You and I are working on the same William Leverett line. You have *made* my day ! <(^-^)>

This line does not connect to my Stephen of Anderson - yet : ) I have been working for years (off and on) in an attempt to prove William, father of Rebecca, is the oldest brother of Stephen (b1765 Lunenburg, VA d 1853 Anderson, SC). Obviously, this William is my brickwall also.

I look forward to your comments when you have time.
Charlotte

Donna, I have no personal documentation to support this. Some genealogy research in military records for Georgia leads me to believe this could very well have been a Citizens' bounty land grant.
