There is an apprenticeship record for a John AUBREY(ca 1780), shipwright of Neath, Glamorganshire, Wales that is often cited by members of the OBRAY family of Cache Valley. Someone in the family supposedly has the original. As there is a discrepancy in dates, several Obray researchers would like to see a copy of the
original to resolve the discrepancy. Would any of readers of this journal know the location of the original? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Lynne.Ingalls@comcast.net
Here are the names that I have and am trying to extend from: Sylvester
SAPPINGTON born abt 1763 in Clark County, Kentucky died abt 1853. He was married
to unknown in Illinois est 1795 that was born est 1775 also in Illinois. I know of only
one child named Margaret M SAPPINGTON born 28 Feb 1797 in Clark County,
Kentucky and died 26 Oct 1880 in Scott County, Illinois and buried in Winchester,
Scott County, Illinois. She married William S. HAMILTON 29 Sep 1812 in Clark
County, Kentucky. (All of her ordinance work is already done) William was born abt
1789 in Tennessee and died est 1843. I have only one child for them too named
Appalone HAMILTON born 1 Sep 1840 in Winchester, Scott County, Illinois and died
19 Nov 1908 in Hadley, Pike, Illinois. (William and Appalone's ordinance work is also
done) Appalone married Charles Dillard HAZELRIGG 3 Jan 1856 introducing Hazelrigg as my wife's mother's maiden name. William is my wife's 3GG- Father. I have
William's mother as Rachel and father only as est born 1765 in Tennessee. We are
trying to extend the SAPPINGTON line beyond the only two names (Sylvester and
Margaret) that we have and also the HAMILTON line beyond Appalone and William. I
have the Alexander HAMILTON book by Ron Chernow without any luck and have
searched the "Sappington's of America" reference only to find names related to
Nathanil SAPPINGTON but never mentioning the names I have. I hope I haven't given
too much detail here just to get started. If anyone has any information that would be
of help please contact me and my wife here at toml@clements.us
