Subject: first wife of Renney Belue ... Sarah?

Please excuse my cross posting this information but it is hard to know where
different Belue and Belyeu researchers are located.

I believe I have come across a likely candidate for the first wife of Renney
Belue b. abt 1738 of Union Co, SC. Renney is the originator of the many
Belue lines. Most researchers believe the Ann mentioned in his will is a late
wife and not the mother of his children. The Sarah Belue who witnessed the
deed shown below (1767) along with Renney is very likely his wife at that time.
Note that Renney had a daughter named Sarah born about the time of signing
of this deed. I suppose it is possible that the Sarah who signed with him
was not his earliest wife.

Finding Renny and Sarah in Anson Co, NC where the Belyeu lines originated is
also interesting from the point of view that the Belue and Belyeu lines may
have had a common origin.

The deed record:
