Birth: The birth year 1735 on FindAGrave is "circa". There is no picture of the tombstone so am using 1732 instead.

Jonathan married HANKS, Mary Elizabeth ✓ in 1760 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA. Mary (daughter of HANKS, Luke ✓ II and DALE, Elizabeth) was born in 1741 in Pittsylvania County, Colony of Virginia, Colonial America; died in 1815 in Abbeville District, South Carolina, USA.

Notes:

After the death of her second husband, William Pearman, Mary moved to the Abbeville District of South Carolina by 1806.

Apparently she moved to SC with her son, Weldon Pearman, as he is shown on the 1860 US Census living in Abbeville, SC.

Notes:

Surname alternate: STEVENS

Other Events and Attributes:

• Probate: Abbeville County, Province of South Carolina, Colonial America

Notes:

The will (original) and typed version are for Luke HANKS III. See https://geneticlincoln.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-LUKE-HANKS-II-Elizabeth-Dale.pdf

The death date is what confirms this is for Luke III and not Luke II.

HANKS II left his children orphans as shown by apprentice ship records of Abraham HANKS born 1743.

Order Book 7, p 170, June Court, 1717, Richmond, Virginia: "Ordered that the Sheriff summons to next court: Luke Hanks, John Hanks, (and thirteen others) to answer presentment of the Grand Jury ... for not going to church for one-month past."

Luke married DALE, Elizabeth. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Colonial America
• Baptism: 18 Feb 1693, Stonington, New London County, Connecticut Colony, Colonial America

Notes:

Lots of information on STEPHENS including people who arrived before Richard in the Connecticut Church Record Abstracts.

Obviously, he cannot have been married to both since divorce in Puritans was unheard of. So which one is the correct one for Richard?

Birth: Going with the date that has two sources.
Baptism: Heritage Consulting has the year 1692; I prefer 1693 in the church records.
Death: The New England marriages source has death year as 1753 re his marriage to Hannah HALD/HEALD. The millennium file has more data but we cannot see the original document.

Luke married Elizabeth. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The two marriage records have different spellings of her given name.

The Land Grant is probably to his SON. In 1782, this Abraham Dale would have been 92 years old.

Abraham married SOUTHERN, Winifred in 1714 in Colony of Virginia, Colonial America. Winifred was born in 1693 in Colony of Virginia, Colonial America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
