For your information: In the St. Petersburg Times (Florida), today was an article about Stephen Collins Foster who wrote many songs. Among his songs was "Old Folks At Home", which was sometimes called "Sewannee River". The paper showed a copy of the original song, which is kept in Pennsylvania. Since the author had made a photocopy of the original song, it showed where the Peedee River had been struck through, and Sewanee River had been inserted. Since the PeeDee River divides Anson County, N.C., and Richmond County, N.C., it made me wonder if that Stephen Collins Foster was related to the ones who married into the Dabbs family. There are also Collins that lived in the area where I grew up, and are distantly related to me through the Hasty/Hastey and my Liles families. This is just something that I thought was interesting. Since I am finding more and more Quakers in my family, I was curious if this Foster family was related to Fosters, and the Quakers moved around quite a bit, which might be how Stephen came in contact with the Great PeeDee River. Just a thought!
Hope all are doing well with their research. I am still stuck with no documentation that Josiah Dabbs could be David Sidney Dabbs father.
