Research Notes

In the Chancery Cause, Obadiah Faulkner BY ETC v. EXR OF Jacob Faulkner, case 1842-012, image 82, is a summon dated 1838. It lists Thomas Faulkner Jr., Samuel G. Watts and Catherine his wife, Richard Boyd and Dianna, his wife, Harriet Faulkner, Robert Faulkner Adm. of Jacob Faulkner, Thomas Faulkner, John Faulkner and James Faulkner. The bill is against them by “Jacob Faulkner an infant under the age, of 21 years who sues by Thomas Faulkner his father and next friend.”

I believe that Harriet Faulkner, daughter of Thomas was married to Jacob Faulkner the son of James Faulkner and Martha Jordan.
