Page 132 - Foy

Part of this complication arises from the wording in the will of EMANUEL
SIMMONS dated December 29, 1806 and “proved” in February 1807. In giving
property to certain relatives the will states in part:

.....To daughter, Elizabeth Munford, certain livestock and $100.00 and use
of certain negroes.

Later, it states:

I give and bequeath unto my grand children (sons) and daughters of
FREDERICK FOY two hundred dollars in money to them, their heirs and
assigns or survivors in case of death in non age,

Again, this is one of those situations we just can not solve from records but have
to use logic and theory. The best theory involves FREDERICK FOY, SR and
ELIZABETH SIMMONS MUNFORD FOY both being married at least twice
so that ELIZABETH FOY and EDWARD MUNFORD were step siblings or half
siblings.

This is just another one of those situations you run into when there are no family
records and you have to depend on public records and theory.

The children of FREDERICK FOY, SR are, as best we can determine:

FREDERICK FOY, JR
THOMAS FOY
POLLY FOY
FRANCES FOY
ELIZABETH FOY
JOHN FOY
MARIA FOY

Now, as you can see, if this volume was dedicated to tracing ALL the FOY
ancestors in our family tree, we would already have hundreds of names in just
three or four generations; almost an impossible task. Just trying to sort out all
the direct ancestors of the Cisco Clan seems impossible.
