Thank you Mary.
We are definitely travelling in the same circles!
I am related to John Newland of Cripple Creek Va who married Savina Waggoner, daughter of Henry Waggoner, Sr. of the same area. Henry settled into Sullivan Co after receiving a land grant for fighting in the Revolution for North Carolina..he is #1222 on Major Nathaniel Green's " An Estimate of the lands for which Grants have been issued to the Officers and Soldiers in the Continental Line of this state or their Assign pursuant to the Act of the Assemby." in 1784.
Roger Topp is on this same list #1050, in 1782 Sullivan Co. Rodger Topp also received in 1783 grants #222, #384, #396, all in Davidson Co. The idea that Rodger died about the same time would be co-incidental, in that the application for the land would have been made before his untimely death, perhaps.
Henry Turney is #1146 Sullivan C0 1782 and #38 Davidson Co 1783.
Peter Turney is #2696 Hawkins Co. 1788.
I am also related to the Lutheran Minister Group.....Dr. Rev. James M. Wagner (buried in Miller's Church, great grandson of Henry Waggoner Sr.) married Mary Emeline Brown...her brother was Rev.Abel J.Brown.
A.J. Brown was first married to Julia Teeter who died, then Emily Teeter....they are the daughters of JacobTeeter and Sophia Speece
A.J. Brown preached the funeral service for Rev. Adam Miller, Sr. who was born 1760 PA
Jacob Teeter and Catherine Teeter were brother and sister, children of John Teeter and Eve Turney. Catherine Teeter married John Miller, who was the son of the above Rev. Adam Miller. So A.J. Brown was conducting the service for his wife's uncle
Rev. Adam, Miller Jr.'s first wife died, and he married Susan Carpenter (Roberts?).Their daughter, Susan Fannie Gertrude Miller b 1858 married Adolphus Cansler, son of Synthia Brown & John Cansler. Synthia was another sister of Abel J. Brown.
See what I mean?
Regards
Margaret
