Sally’s 4-great Grandparents:
Maximillian Minshew ca 1726 – 1789 | his parents
& ca 1759 Mary Bond ca 1734 – ca 1792 | her parents
of Gates County, North Carolina
This is my working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!
Maximillian Minshew and Mary Bond were married ca 1759.
Maxey was the son of Richard Minshew ca 1702 – 1778 and his wife Hannah Blanchard?.
Mary was the daughter of Richard Bond Sr. who died in Gates County in 1793.
Children of Maximillian Minshew and first wife[Elizabeth?]:
1. Zachariah (Zachary) Minshew
(deeded his land to his brother Bond Nov 12, 1792)
| somewhere years back I came across something that put in my mind that Maxey Minshew had by a first wife ?Elizabeth twins Zach and Zanra; and the mother died soon after. Maxey then married Mary Bond daughter of the Richard who died in 1793 in Gates County. Also this Zanra grew up and married Abselom Blanshard and after her death Abselom married her half sister Mary Minshew. Since this is questionable in my mind at present I will place it here in a box since I can find no support for it at present. ?2. Zanra Minshew died before 1785 married Absolom Blanshard died by Feb 1785 son of Benjamin Blanchard and wife Sarah Hinton |
