Hello Arlene:
I don't have much information to offer you on William & Suzanner. James Brent was named guardian of Samuel & Issac (Mon)Creef during the March term of 1792. Lydia Creef was named as wife in the will of Thomas Moncreef dated 28 Feb. 1793. He left a son John, daughters Liddy & Jullen & wife Liddy. It was witnessed by John Brent, friend. Lydia's will of 26 Mar.1795 list daughters Esther Fletcher & Julia & Lydia (both under l6) son John (under 16). I think your William & Lydia's husband Thomas are related.
Thomas is found in NC as early as 1723. William is found listed on a Muster List under the command of John Woodhouse in 1758.
William is also listed in the tax table of Currituck Co. in 1779. Thomas, William & William Jr. are all listed as heads of households in Currituck Co. in 1790.
In the will of John Moncrief dated 22 June 1712 it mentions sons Thomas, William, John & George & a daughter Mary. Unfortunately the names are all common & people had a habit of using them over & over again without the benefit of distinguishing one from another.
I don't know if I have rambled on....or if I have given you something you did not have....at any rate, I'm glad you are researching the Creefs. Would love to hear from you and about the lineage of Samuel & Issac........ You can email me @jadfed5@aol.com ..........Looking forward to hear from you........Judy

Notes:

Robert Fletcher's (husb of Lydia) father (not named) and mother (Margaret) were from England. Ref: Our Heritage as it Flows from the West p8.

Died:
From Probate Administrators' Bonds 1685-1779: Peggy Fletcher, wid. of Robert, is requesting letters of admin. after delay of three years. http://www.ncgenweb.us/currituck/estates/earlyadminbonds.html

Robert married Margaret "Peggy" Key Bef 1728, Currituck County, North Carolina. Margaret was born Abt 1705, Montgomery, Trigg, Kentucky; died Abt 1795, Currituck County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]

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.
