> Now this group hailed from Surry/Sussex VA and moved from there to Warren NC according to researchers. Notice the Isham. Now this Isham is too old to be the Isham mentioned at your site as buying the Caswel Phelps property but....there is a William Felts
> SOMEHOW related to this bunch (who has a son Isham born abt 1790-95 according to researchers and he married a Susannah Oliver) who is with this bunch from Surry/Sussex.
> From the above mentioned deed with Isham as security to William's deed I would say that they are probably brothers. Isham appears to be the s/o Nathaniel from Surry/Sussex from the will . William is not mentioned but neither is Randolph but in his will he has a brother Isham........Although there could be several Ishams here since the wills are just 1 year apart.Nathaniel and Randolph could be brothers with a brother Isham .
> Don't know if this is relevant or not at this point, but........keep it in mind!!!
