Not sure if Nancy is a direct decendant. However I have seen her name in my research..for the time being, I'm trying to stay on a direct line back. But too many choices to review. Thanks

According to my book " Charles Kilgore of Kings Mt." the Matilda you are talking about is not the mother of James. Her name was Malinda Matilda. The Matilda you are talking about was first married to Aaron Roberts April 30,1842.

Still trying to work out if Matilda Kilgore was the mother of James Erwin (who married Nancy Kilgore). I have just found out the follwing about her 3rd husband - Daniel Adams born 07-16-1799 died 01-09-1885

If James went by Irving a lot that perhaps both spelling would be correct with a little note in the note section of the family tree thus making the information reflect part of who he was.

Well I was too but when I started finding documents on him they said Irwin sometime so on my family tree I put both.

I am sure that James middle name was spelled Erwin, because he is buried in the Pomeroyton Cemetery in Menifee county,
He is my Great Grandfather, I always decorate his and Nancy's grave every year on Memorial Day, All my family are buried in…

I would suggest trying Rootsweb World Connect their are all family trees. Another suggestion is try to post a message on Ancestry or Rootsweb to see if someone might have some information for you.
Mary Preston commented on Farhan Rehman's group 'Genealogists Who Twitter'
I am a descendant of Robert "King" Carter of Virginia. I am not a descendant of Warren rather I am a descendant of Issac Allerton and Brewster. My connection to the Mayflower's Allerton and Brewster is through the Dandridges and Lees

- The Nelson's came from Red Bay Alabama and settled, one brother, in
Granbury Texas. My Grandfathers name was William Alsey and my Dad's name was thurman Wilbur. My great grandfather came from RedBay with a free slave--Mango--who eventually returned to Alabama. My great grandfather has a Confederate marker on his grave and was a founding Mason member in Granbury, Texas.
