I will look in the next PG book that runs from 1733-1792 if you want for Mason and Tally.
I did learn something just today from making a new chart that apparently there was a close relationship between the Chappells and the Wykes.Thomas Chappell married a Hannah Hunnicutt who is probably the sister of Robert Hunnicutt who married the only dau. of Peter Wyke and Huldah Ladd.Now to make the connection to the Laniers. Not sure yet what this means however except these families lived in close proximity do one another.
To answer your question regarding the Wyke, Wyche and Weeks families.I am fairly certain that Henry Wyche and Peter Wyke are not related even though they arrive about the same time and lived in the same areas.There seems to be hard evidence regarding Henry's origins but not so with Peter.In the first Rent Roll of 1704 there is a Huldy Wick owning 600a.This would seem to be the wife of Peter, Hulday Wyke, but why it is in her name is a question unless of course Peter was passed and that remains a question.In 1711 there is a deed transaction which mentions the plantation of Thomas Weekes.Is this a son of Peter and if so was this land part of the 1482a/600a that was granted to Lanier and Wyke?Every indication is that the Thomas' plantation is not part of the patent but Thomas still could have been Peter's son but there is no evidence for or against.
So,.....not sure what you have exactly but before you send anything we should determine if it is applicable.Basically,in England the name Weeks was spelled every way imaginable and some that were not.Wyke and Wyche were some of the spellings and even in some families the names were spelled differently in legal docs.If you have intermarriage between the Lanier and Wyke/Weeks families I am very interested, but the marriage should probably be before 1720. Are there any marriages between the Chappels and the Laniers before 1720?
I am happy to correspond by e-mail if that makes it easier, no problem.
