Biography

Mary Michaux also known as Esther/Easter, born circa 1712/1713, is named in the Michaux Bible as a daughter of Abraham Michaux and Susanna Rochet: "Esther married Alexander Cunningham." [1]

Esther's father was born in Sedan France, in 1672, and died in Virginia in 1717. He was a member of the French Huguenots. [2]

Alexander Cunningham, Jr. was born circa 1715, in Virginia, a son of Alexander Cunningham and Lydia Audelberta Bell. Goochland, Virginia was founded in 1728 as the first county formed from Henrico shire, followed by Chesterfield County in 1749. Goochland originally included all of the land from Tuckahoe Creek, on both sides of the James River, west as far as the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was here that Esther and Alexander became the parents of as many as ten children: https://www.geni.com/people/Easter-Cunningham/334903694300005536

Michaux-20 and Michaux-70 appear to represent the same person because: Esther is in my family line. The upload GEDCOM upload report did not catch this, but both are the same. Since I don't own Michaux-20, can you complete the merge?
