Wife's General Notes
======================================================================
     Gina, although I can't document this, I think your Tabitha was
probably the daughter of Rowland Tankersley and Clarissa Wade, whose
family had apparently moved from South Carolina to Tennessee between
1810 and 1820. Rowland and Clarissa are said to have had a daughter
Tabitha who was born about 1793, and Rowland also had an older sister
named Tabitha. (I also wonder whether the Ronald Burford in your
lineage could actually have been Rowland Burford.)
     Contrary to the widely accepted (but incorrect) version of the
Tankersley lineage, which claims that Rowland was the son of an
earlier Rowland Tankersley, Tabitha's father Rowland was the son of
Richard Tankersley and his wife Winnifred. This is the same Richard
Tankersley who is identified in the traditional lineage as the
husband of Elizabeth Fountain. The original source (an 1893 genealogy
by Charles W. Tankersley) claims that Richard died in 1748, but in
fact I've been able to trace his journey through Virginia and into
upper South Carolina, where he was still alive as late as 1797.
     As I said, I can't prove it, but it might be worth further
research.

My Notes
If there is no SOURCE, I have no PROOF.

Larry gave me Philip's name and I have searched as much as possible on
the 'Net. I have not yet tried to prove Tabitha's parentage. I was
surprised to find Philip's second marriage. No other researcher has
ever told me of it.
