William m. Fanny WILSON.  The Jacob b.1755 folks claim him.  I tend to agree because his children can be found in the Nicholas – Braxton Co. area.  This is where Jacob lived.  Others report that he is a Culpeper Co. CHAPMAN.  I have asked them for proof and, to date, no one has offered any. 

 

Sorry, John & Jane researchers that have included him in your trees.  I agree with the Jacob folks.  He is theirs.  I will give you something though.  The Ludy (actually Lucy) Ann BOWMAN listed below (from the Jacob researchers) almost certainly is yours.   I am including her here too because someone might have proof.  Stranger things have happened.
