Dear Gaye,
I am contacting you about this profile: Sarah/Sallie Elizabeth Stanley
You wrote: "My great-great-great grandmother was Sarah/Sally Pridgen, born in Greene Co. about 1790-1800" but Martha Pridgen (Ruffin)-- who is down as her mother-- died circa April 1781. Do you know what the discrepancy is?
Sincerely,
Carl William Aude
Gaye wote:
At this point in time, I don't know if I can re-create my thinking.
My great grandfather was a Pridgen, who left home and changed his name. He never said anything about his family. It is all very mysterious.
