Edward is the earliest proven ancestor. He married
in Culpepper, Virginia about 1739 but probably was born about 1720 in
Maryland. He died at about 87 years old in Carter County, Virginia, in the
spring of 1807. He married about 1739 to Catherine Stumph. Nothing is known
of her life or death, but Edward married second to Catherine Stonecypher in
1757. Catherine must have also predeceased him, for Edward married again

to have been another Stonecypher, a niece of the second wife, and sister of
Mary Stonecypher Smithpeters.
