Roger,
I'm sure we are talking about the same family, different Cyrus Sanders.The first Cyrus you mention (son of James Saunders and Sarah Gunnell, also had a son named Cyrus G. Saunders with one of three possible wives who is tentatively identified as Elizabeth Crane.He also has been associated with Penelope Adams and Mary Johnston.This 2nd Cyrus (son of Cyrus) is the one whom I believe married Margaret Saunders.Together, they had issue of Presley Asbury, John, and a 3rd Cyrus Saunders (making 4 known to this family by my reasoning, if we inclue the Cyrus issued from Henry Saunders and Patience Oxley).
There is a page on the web dedicated to William Foulkes (husband of Margaret Saunders) that has his autobiography stating Margaret's maiden name is Saunders.It does not talk any more about her however, so I remain skeptical of her roots.
It has been very challenging to put this together, but there has been enough information for me to piece it together this way.Email me directly if you wish to see how I have this whole thing organized.I'll be the first to say I question it all, but based on what others have posted, this is how I've reasoned it all out.
Have a great Christmas season.
Richard
