Cousin Will,

I show Stephen Farley (b. Jun. 18, 1762 Va.; d. Jul. 5, 1838 Tenn.) m.
Mary Mitchell on Dec. 27, 1787, Amelia Co., Va.

I don't show your William B. Rice but do have a connection, through
marriage, to William B. Rice, husband of Rebecca Ellington (another
cousin e.g. related lines: Tucker, Evans, Ellington, Baldwin, Bolling,
Boyd, Harkness, Carmichael, Lester). They were married abt. Aug. 13,
1781, Bedford Co., Va. Marriage bond (Aug. 13, 1781) shows her name
spelled "Rebeckah" and William Newsom as surety. NSDAR Spouses of DAR
Patriots Index (copyright 1986) shows, page 230: ELLINGTON, REBECCA =
WILLIAM B. RICE.

Col. Absolum (Isham) Farmer married Sarah Hull Dismukes (my 2nd
cousin); their daughter, Judith Elizabeth Farmer married Turner Gray
Morgan. Trying to determine Judith's connection to Judith Moore
Farmer, who married John Farley (b. Oct. 14, 1751 Va.; d. Jan. 9, 1816,
Tenn.) on Jun. 13, 1779, Chesterfield Co., Va. Their son, Pleasant C.
Farley, b. Oct. 4, 1781, Amelia Co., Va.; d. Apr. 11, 1851. Need help
in getting further info. on Pleasant Farley. Other Farley cousins who
live in Amelia are also in the search. Note that I show Judith's given
name as "Moore" but I also have a note in my files that the given name
"Moon" is also shown in some records.
