Lft.LUCINDA(LYDIA) Rgt.MARTHA
Daughters of Lemuel and Eveline Willis
LYDIA is the mother of MATILDA FEE
child in picture with her is still living. "Miss Hattie" is now 98 years old
MARTHA is the mother of JOHN RAY(see Ray page)
MARTHA b...April 9,1835 married.....Adam RayRAY Page
Their son John Ray married Minerva Fee(see above)
LUCINDA(Lydia)born 1848...had a daughter Matilda by Richard StrotherJr.
They never married as he was killed shortly afterward.
She later married Henry O. Stanley and had several children by him.
Her Daughter Matilda married Rueben Fee (see above)
And Matilda and Rueben had a daughter Minerva Fee who married John Ray
In other words Minerva and John were second cousins by Martha and Lucinda(Lydia)
and also second cousins by Mary Ray(John's aunt) who married Aaron Fee
and had Rueben who was Minerva's father.(John Ray and Rueben Fee were 1st cousins)
This has been a most confusing effort for me as you can imagine.The only
thing that really saved me was the fact that so many of the children
lived to an old age and helped me alot.

STROTHER
This Strother line begins as most do with the arrival of William Strother
(William,"The Immigrant" as some call him)to Va.The Strother history prior to
can be found here Tim Kemp, so it
will not be included here..just the direct
linage from Va. on down.
The names of the unknowns are probably all available
and I will supply them as I get them

FRANCIS..............married......unknown
B.circa 1760-1765

He served in the military in Ga.
He went to St. Helena Parish La. perhaps around 1804
and married a 2nd time to
Sarah(Salley).
They married July 1820 and he died soon after.
Francis and unknown had several children:RICHARD,WILLIAM,NANCY
RICHARD SR. was in the War of 1812 as a private.
They had several children: RICHARD JR, JAMES,RHODA,WILLIAM,
JOHN A,
and FRANCIS"FRANK".
RICHARD JR............married about 1805....unknown
B.1806......................................b...?.
D.after 1850................................d...?
RICHARD JR. is in Rapides Parish La. by 1845 according to
land
records.In 1850 census he had either his mother or
stepmother Salley/Sarah living with him also..she was born
circa 1787 in SC. There is no mention of wife but other children
are in household
As to his death date I am not certain
He had in the house with him sons Alexander,Lerory and Richard.
There was also a young woman named "Patsy"/Martha who is
apparently Alexander's wife as she is buried beside him
and 2 small children..probably Alex. and Patsy's
I understand Patsy
was a Coker..
RICHARD Jr. son RICHARD :
RICHARD I.... never married
b.1843..........d.about 1868
He was the father of MATILDA WILLIS FEE see above
by LYDIA(LUCINDA)WILLIS
There is the grave of either
Richard I or his father Richard Jr.
in
a cemetary near here,the date of death appears to be 1868
I am not sure which one it is..and since I have no
DOD for Richard Jr. I am not sure..although I think that
most likely is Richard I..it is very hard to read
*NOTE:THERE IS SOME DISCREPENCY AS TO WHO MARRIED A
SARAH FAIRCHILD..since many of them married Sarahs/Salley
at some point..I am not certain as of this time
Any corrections,additional info, or inquiries are welcome.
I have quite a bit more info on most of these.
