Also from Peggy Shaffer:

Sons: John Diamond, Steward Diamond.
Grandson David Harrell.
Granddaus: Marget D. Webb & Rhoda Webb - one beadestead Bed and furniture and one Heifer Yearling to be lodged in hands of their Uncle Thomas Webb in Guilford County. Whereas my daus Sarah Webb & Rachel Harrel both dec'd had at their marriage their full dowry it is my will that their husbands Fred D. Webb & Stephen Harrel have no more than Five Shillings.
Exr: Brother Jeremiah Pritchett.
Wit: Alexander Nichels. H. Thompson.

Again this was copied from a typed book. Again someone said the actual will has Dred, not Fred Webb

End Peggy Shaffer quotes.

I don't remember where I saw that Dorcas's maiden name was Danney.

That Robert C Rankin there. He was born 1791, and was a brother of Nancy Agnes Rankin, mother of William Schoolfield, husband of Rhoda Webb (not Thomas's sister).
