First Wife of Edney Tapscott
I am still searching for the mother of Henry Tapscott of Cumberland County, VA and Caswell County, NC. He was the eldest son of Edney Tapscott who was married to Judith Purcell and Mary Shapleigh Waugh. Henry did not name a daughter Judith, and he seems to have isolated himself from the other members of his Tapscott family. He very quickly sold the land left to him by his father, Edney and moved to Caswell County. The given name of Judith has not been passed down by any of Henry's descendants.
