Not a known daughter of Arthur Whitehead, Jr. and Mary Whitehead (Godwin) as their Sarah married RYAN, correct?

I can't find my source files. I have a friend working on it, you can remove the match if you want until i can find the source of the info.

Private User thank you. I just want to make sure I am not removing valid connections.

Does not belong in Sarah's About:

From ''Joseph Vick of Lower Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia and His Descendants, vol. I:
''
pp 19-21

Based on the estimated ages of their children , Robert married about 1712, probably in Isle ofWight County. Nothing is known about his wife, other than her given name, SARAH. Because ofthe close relationship her children had with the Strickland and Owen families, some family historians have speculated that she may have been a member o f one o f those families.

All of Sarah and Robert's children were born before he received his first headright on 16 June 1727. The grant was for 50 acres on the south side of the Nottoway River and the west side ofVick's branch. The land adjoined John Vick.I The land's location in an area settled by Joseph Vick and known sons of Joseph Vick, along with his age and the lack of immigration records, strongly suggests that Robert is also a son ofJoseph. It also suggests that, conforming to law, he occupied the land before he sought a headright.....

He wrote that will on 25 October 1735. It opens with the statement that
he was "very Sick of Body but of perfect Mind and Memory". This suggests
that he had health problems for some time before his death. He left a slave
boy, Harry [this is the earliest record ofa Vick owning slaves], and 50 acres
of land adjoining William Faircloth to his son Robert, Jr. Son Joseph
received "the plantation where John Harrod lives with the half of the Land
adjoining the same out of a Patent granted to me for One Hundred Acres".
Son Benjamin received "the other part of the same said Patent". To his
youngest son, Nathan, he gave the plantation "which [I] now live on" and
the slave boy, Sharper. If any of the sons should die, his portion was to fall
to the next heir; thus he confirmed the hierarchical structure of the birth
order. Benjamin and Nathan were not to receive their inheritances until
they reached sixteen. Robert also planned for the betterment of his family
and provided fifty shillings for each son's education. Son Benjamin
received an additional £ 11.

Robert's widow Sarah received the use ofthe Manor Plantation "during
her Natural Life except she should marry and then be Disinherited only a
Child's Part". The remainder ofthe estate was to be divided evenly among
the widow and "all my Sons and Daughters", suggesting that he had more
than one daughter. Daughter Mary was to receive only one shilling. Son
Robert and widow Sarah were to serve as co-executors. Robert signed his
will with his mark; his brother Richard and nephew Jacob Vick were
witnesses. 3 The will was probated on 26 January 1735/36 and an appraisal
of the estate was fIled by Arthur Whitehead, Henry Newsom, and Henry
Thomas on 28 February 1736.4

Robert's will names all his male heirs and his daughter Mary. However,
he uses the phrase "all my sons and daughters" which implies more than
one daughter. Martha has been placed here because her age fits, she lived
in the county, and because she cannot be connected with any other Vick
Family at this time or place. All children were born in Isle of Wight County:

Wife of Robert Vick, Sr. Sarah Strickland had been merged with Sarah Whitehead and brothers Richard and Robert had been merged and unmerged so there was no longer a profile for Sarah Strickland who married Robert. Only a wife Sarah for Richard.
I added Sarah Vick

Good. I could have sworn that there were two different Sarahs on each profile at one time. Weird. Thanks for catching.

They were merged after the brothers were merged. No one caught it when the brothers were unmerged

Well, dang. Are the kids seemingly straight now? I am all wading in the Floyd lines in Columbus and Robeson Counties. I have the book if any questions.

Yes. I worked on them til the brothers and their wives had the children noted.
