Catherine Goodnight and John Davenport were married after Abraham's birth.

Marion Ganzel E-mail:	Mary McAfee and Thomas Gaunt > Mary (Polly) & Henry Eccles > Angelina Gaunt Eccles & Robert H. Blackwell > Joseph Robert Blackwell & Harriet Hamilton > Bessie Hamilton Blackwell & John Clarke Bennett > Marion Clark Bennett & Louis Charles Ganzel > Marion Clarke Bennett Ganzel	I am interested in the beginnings of the McAfee family in Scotland. As a result, I visited the isle of Colonsay (Inner Hebrides) where they originally lived. At that time (2003), there was only one McAfee still living there but I met a whole roomful of Mcafees visiting there. It looked like reunion but was totally unplanned. It just happened by luck! I also went to the Isle of Iona hoping to find the burial tomb of Malcolm McAfee, Highland Chief of Colonsay. He was the last one. I would also like to know more about Thomas Gaunt.

1.6 Robert McAfee Sr. (10 Jul 1745, Lancaster Co., PA - 10 May 1795, New Orleans, LA) and Anne McCoun (1 Aug 1746, Augusta Co., VA - 1794, Mercer Co., KY)

Linda Carroll E-mail:	Robert > Robert Breckinridge & Mary (Cardwell) McAfee > William & Eliza (Crockett) McAfee > Mary McAfee & John Clelland Woods > Nellie Woods	My brick wall is Nellie Woods. I have a front page newspaper article from the Lamar Democrat when Mary Mcafee/Woods died stating her daughter Nellie Woods was an artist living in Chicago, Illinois. I can not find any information about Nellie.
Jenny Tenlen E-mail: Website	Robert > Samuel & Mary (Cardwell) McAfee > William C. & Rebecca (Richards) McAfee > Clark Roberson & Alice (Freshour) McAfee > Laura & William Henry Sherbondy (my gr-grandparents)	Rebecca (Richards/Ritchie) McAfee, my 3rd-gr-grandmother, has been my greatest brick wall. On her marriage certificate, her miaden name is spelled "Richards". However, on her son John Ritchie McAfee's death certificate, her maiden name is spelled "Ritchie". She was born in Jun 1811 in KY (according to 1900 census). She and William were married 20 Jan 1831 in Clay Co., MO. She died 11 Sep 1888 in Elkhorn Twp., San Joaquin Co., CA and is buried at Woodbridge Cemetery. I have all of her probate records (100+ pages) that provides detailed information on descendants - but no clues on any possible siblings or parents. According to census records, her father was born in VA and mother in TN, but so far I have been unable to find them in any records (including the 1830 Clay Co., MO census.)
