Subject: [CONWAY] Edwin Conway, Sr and Jr, and Eltonhead and Carter Families
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:29:21 -0800 (PST)

I have posted before that my 9th great grandparents are Edwin Conway,
Sr and Martha Eltonhead. I descend from their daughter Eltonhead Conway
that married Henry Thacker, Sr.

Upon more investigation and finding more records I want to post two
corrections as to my previous postings.

i. The death date of Edwin Conway, SR. is 1660/61 instead of Sep 1678 like
Hayden had in the Glassell book.

(Source:
Va Col. Abstracts--Lancaster County. p. 11) Lancaster Court Session 14
March 1660/61. Minute Bk. p. 141. Com. of Administration on the Est.
of Mr. Edwin Connoway dec' to Henry Corbyn.

Alice Eltonhead, sister to my 9th great grandmother Martha Eltonhead,
married Henry Corbin. Another sister, Eleanor
Eltonhead married Col. John
Carter.

The
other record I want to correct is found in the" Prayer Book of Thomas
Carter"

This is the birth of Edward Carter:

Birth:
Edward ye eldest Sonne of Tho. and Kath Carter was born y 9 April 1671
of Sunday at 8 0'clock in ye Morn and was bap on Sunday the 30
M. John Carter, M. Edwin Conaway, and M. Edw.: Dale, Gdfather and M. Diana
Dale and M. Lettys Corbyn, Gdmother.

The
Edwin Conway that is Godfather of Edward Carter is Edwin Conway, JR
the son of Edwin Conway, SR and Martha Eltonhead, not Edwin SR.

Lettye (Letitica) Corbyn later married Richard Lee.

Diana Dale is Diana Skipwith who married Edward Dale.

My
previous postings are made under mdillow31 until my email address was
changed. Hope this is a benefit to anyone else.descending from these families
