Nancy & her husband Thomas Price were living in Buncombe Co on 9 Apr 1828. Permelia was living in Buncombe Co on 9 Apr 1828. Perhaps her husband Mr. Short had died before that time.

Bettye Heinrich 2005 - Only the children beginning with #9 were those of Ezekiel Waldrop and his unknown wife. No one has ever come forth with any documentation that will prove the name of Ezekiel's wife. He lived in Newberry Dist SC until at least 1811 as he appears on the church records there. There is nothing to show that he ever lived in the other places that you named.
