https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/m/o/r/Quincy-B-Morris-iii/WEBSITE-000... “ According to Margaret Reese who did the research on this family has been unable to find who Thomas married but he died a widower in Albemarle County in 1758 and left the following children that are on his family sheet.”

Editor's note: Mr. Richardson gave me his wife's name as Agnes Gannaway, however I have not yet seen adequate proof that his first wife was Agnes Gannaway. Indeed perhaps he only had the wife Mary as found in Goochland records. …

Besides the connection through Thomas, what caught my eye immediately, was my connection to John Gannaway & John Gannaway II or Jr. as witnesses to Thomas' 10/25/1757 will. John I is my 6th great grandfather; John II is my 5th G grandfather. We carry the Gannaway line from Jacapo di Genoa & Leonora di Medici in 1544 to my grandmother, Mary Pearl (Gannaway) Black. …

It would appear that Agnus (Gannaway) Anderson could be an elder sister (by four years) of John Gannaway, Sr., and the daughter [SIC: sister] of Marmaduke & Henrietta (Campmartin) Gannaway of London.
