Discussion

Was William Cheatwood/Chitwood married first to Jean's sister, Mary Flournoy Woolrigde, AlSO listed in some genealogies as William's wife?

From https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/535672/was-mary-flournoy-woolridge-lat...

That Francis Flournoy names Edmond Wooldridge as a witness to his will suggests a connection to that family. See also this genealogy whose claims would have to be substantiated that a. Mary Flournoy was married to Wooldridge first and then Francis Flournoy https://www.geni.com/people/Edward-Wooldridge/60000000020916...

Only after Mary's death, however, would Francis then have married Jean_______named in his will. If all the dates hold up and can be proven, a lot would be explained and a connection to William Baugh and Jane Hatcher, via their Baugh/Flournoy daughter would be established.
