Thank you for the input, it was very helpful.
SEE the following at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=leganlines&id=I0408http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=leganlines&id=I0408
"My husband & I found him
(Charles Legan) listed on the 1787 taxes with Page Coleman who paid Charles' taxes.
Perhaps George Legan (b. 1788) might have had a mother named Coleman, then again maybe Charles and Mary "Polly" Admire were married by a minister after George was conceived and born.
They were married July 15, 1789 in Woodford Co., KY.
In 1787 Page & Charles were living in Amelia Co., VA.
In 1788 Page Coleman paid Charles' taxes in Fayette Co., KY and
in 1789 Charles Legan and Page Coleman paid their taxes in July, side by side, on the same day. On this day Charles & Polly were already married.
There is other proof that Charles and Page were close . . ." -- Betty Ann Legan Smith, March, 1998.
Lots of detail in "Woven Threads of Charles Liggan and George Admire and Related Lines", compiled by Loretta June Shackelford Wright, 1998, pp. 204-281, especially pp. 204-212.{{NOTE: I have not seen the book --- it is mentioned in the database}}
on The rootsweb database Charles is refered to as "Charles Liggon" and "Charles Legan".
If you have not seen this database, check it out.It has references. --- BUT a lot of it is from other researchers that gave conflicting info --- BUT the conflicting data is listed, and left to the reader to decide what is correct.
I feel sure that this "Charles Liggon/Legan", is a descendant of Col. Thomas Ligon --- sure would like to know how.
I am also in the process of getting ALL the census records for ALL Ligons (any spelling).I already have "Legans" past 1860.I have NOT been able to connect ALL of the census records.
I am chasing all Ligons, or Liggons, or Legans, or other spellings.I have found some Ligons that are Johnny come lately's --- not a descendant of Col. Thomas Ligon.
How are you connected to the Legans/Ligons?
Let me know what your intersts are.Please reply to my email address.
Regards and Thanks,
Doug
