Other Events:

• Will: 19 Jun 1792, Currituck County, North Carolina; Peggy Fletcher will recorded Feb. 10, 1795. Mentioned: Granddaus Easther Fletcher, Sally Fletcher, Betsey Fletcher, grandson Robert Fletcher, friend/exec: Hollowell Williams. Wit: Mary Williams, Salley Williams.

Notes:

Thomas Fletcher 1711-1771 was identified early as the husband of Margaret, however it now appears to be incorrect. Margaret was from Currituck County NC and so far is not connected to Massachsetts.

A Sep 1759 reference to the Currituck Probate Court mentions: Peggy Fletcher, widow of Robert, is requesting letters of admin. after delay of three years. So if this is our Peggy, then she was married to ROBERT, nit Thomas.
