Hi Jim,
Thanks again!I updated the info on my site's tree to eliminate James and Hannah Babson, and put up a few other things that I had found in Chalkey (on the tree only). For example, James the first (son of David?) was probably born in County Tyrone, Ireland, which is where several members of the family gave testimony having seen their sister Rebecca Archer married.
If James was the son of James and Hannah it would have meant that they came from Ireland, settled in Maine, and decided to settle in Virginia.Nah, I just don't think so.Too much moving around in an era of bad roads and slow transportation.
It's more likely that they came from Ireland, possibly settled in PA and then decided to move to Augusta County (which borders PA).So I think you're on to something there.
Unfortunately, I don't think DNA testing would prove brother vs. brother, as the Sally Hemmings and Thomas Jefferson DNA test proved.It can prove siblings but not which one, apparently.
I'm still trying to find Thomas' grandfather's death date, I had it somewhere in Chalkey, but apparently didn't record what volume or page.I'll find it over time.Thanks again though for your research, and like you, I don't believe the Maine line is Thomas' Augusta County line.
Linda.
