I am tracing my line to Benjamin Lawrence (Lawrence-539), proven/established American Revolution Patriot. I can prove he was married to Rachel Weems and they had children including a daughter, Margaret Lawrence Deal (Deale) [Lawrence-644]. Also established is that Margaret Lawrence Deal (Deale) married Alexander Deal (Deale) [1782 - 1844] and they had children. My line comes from their daughter, Sarah Ann Deal (Deal-131) who married James Ridgway.
I can link myself to Sarah, I just can't plug the hole to prove she was the daughter of Margaret Lawrence Deal (Deale) and Alexander Deal (Deale). Alexander and Margaret's daughter, Margaret Julia Deale Binion, is listed in a Binion family Bible as a daughter. Alexander and Margaret also also had other children including a son, Balus, who died in 1893 and his obit pubished in the Macon Beacon Newspaper (Miss.) names his parents with last name Deale. It gives the number of brothers and sisters, but not their names.
Any help filling in this last hole would be awesome! Thank you.
