Could you add the documentation you are relying upon that shows both of these woman were spouses of Samuel Faircloth 1760 - 1807?

The ancestry.com file listed as a source is a private file so it is not possible to see the sources this Family Tree used to support these relationships.


Catherina (Holton) Faircloth

and

Achsah (Sessoms) Faircloth

were the spouses of Samuel Faircloth?

Also, how was determined that Raiford Faircloth (abt. 1774 - abt. 1848) was the son of Samuel Faircloth 1760 - 1807 and Achsah (Sessoms) Faircloth?

Why are there no other offspring listed for Samuel Faircloth?

It appears that the profile for Raiford Faircloth does not have a manager.
