Note*

Richard Posey. My Grandmother Rachel Posey's father lived to be 116years old. He was married to Obedience when he had my grandmother,Rachel however I have to believe this was a second marriage. He fatheredchildren over a span of 45 years and no woman I have ever known wouldhave survived barring 22 children in 45 years. If she had her firstchild at 12 she would have been 57 years old when the last was born. Shedied some 42 years after her last child was born. Who knows maybe shedid live to be 99+ Anyway I have the same problem with Richard Poseythat I have with Nathaniel Cottle. So when I get tired of looking at thePosey wall maybe I will try Carter again. So many WALLS!! The above account was E-mailed from Helen Lee (Cottle) Carter on Thu. 03Aug. 2000, cpymy1@@mon-cre.net.
