Daughters of Abraham Norfleet (1774-1827)
My great-great grandmother is buried in Kemper County, MS.Her tombstone shows that her name was "Mary NAUFLETT VanDevender".She was born in Virginia in approximately 1815 and died in 1890 in Mississippi.She was the wife of William Achors VanDevender, and they migrated from Virginia to Mississippi in the 1830s.I believe that the name on her tombstone is simply a misspelling of the name "Norfleet", as the couple named their second child Priscilla NORFLEET VanDevender.I am trying to determine whether Mary Nauflett/Norfleet VanDevender was a daughter of Abraham Norfleet, who lived in Nansemond County, VA in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Abraham Norfleet's children included the following:
James Benson Norfleet (1812)
James Peters Norfleet (1814)
Mary Norfleet (1815 or 1816)
Martha Norfleet (1817 or 1818)
Wilson Norfleet (1819)
Abraham Norfleet (1821)
Susanna Norfleet (1823)
The genealogy of the sons seems to be well-documented, and I've learned that James Peters Norfleet indeed migrated to Holly Sprngs, Mississippi.But I've been unable to learn ANYTHING about Mary, Martha, and Susanna.Does anyone know what happened to these three girls?More specifically, has anyone ever heard that Mary Norfleet might have married a VanDevender?Thank you!
