Faith ???

Bef 1703 - Bef 1771  (~ 68 years)

• Name	Faith ???  [1]
  Birth	Bef 1703	Surry County, Virginia   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	Bef 1771	Sussex County, Virginia   [1]
  Notes	Mark Freeman indicates that her maiden name : "might be Howell, Harrison, and Burwell...among others. McLemore, Harrison and Burwell names are linked through marriage, and include ancestors of the Presidents Benjamin Harrison and William Henry Harrison. Faith Magee/McGee is also suggested as a possibility in "B. F. McLemore" James L. McLemore, III, in a posting to http://boards.ancestry.com/ notes that her maiden name is "possibly Edmonds, probably not Briggs or Magee." In his book, James explained that "one of her oldest grandchildren was named Howell, a family name or surname used frequently in the Edmunds and Briggs families as a given name; both of these families were related to Thomas Blunt (oldest son of Henry Briggs's first wife Mary, and father-in-law of Howell Edmunds) with whom, as already stated, the early McLemore family had had a close connection." (James L. McLemore, III, p. 55). Jim White, another researcher, states that her maiden name was Briggs. Faith's renunciation of John's will gave her a widow's life right in the homeplace, but she apparently died by 1771 when we find the last Virginia reference to Joel, the sale of his father's homeplace. The deed for transfer, dated March 6, 1771, and recorded March 21, 1771, was from Joel McLemore (without a spouse joining in) of "Coleton County" (Craven County?), South Carolina, to Adam FOY of Sussex. This deed (Sussex Deed Book D, p. 317) was witnessed by Burwell McLemore, among others. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 59).
