I believe we have the wrong Richard. The one I am looking for married a Sarah. He was son of a Thomas. Who was the son of Richard, which one I don't know.
In the abstracts of wills, there was a William Sowell who was the executor of the estate of Sarah, whom I believe died in 1756 in Bertie County, NC. There was a Dempsey Sowell, Thomas Sowell and William Sowell who were buyers of her estate. I am trying to find out if Dempsey is a son, since he was a buyer in her Estate. I believe this Dempsey Sowell is my ancestor, as there are many Dempsey's in my family. I was told that Richard Sowell was born 1728 and died about 1751. That he married Sarah. William is a proven son, but Dempsey and Thomas are not. The Richard you mentioned who had sons Richard and Aaron is another Richard all together.
I do appreciate you taking time to answer my posting.
