      See if you can follow this: Susan Steele - married to Thomas Fuqua - is my direct ancestress, and I have done some research into her family. Their son, John Bell Fuqua, married Sophia Pathena Carter Mays/Mayo Anderson (my gggrndmthr). It was her third marriage (she was widowd twice before she turned 18), his first. Her father, Walter O Carter - widowed twice himself, married for the third time between 1850-1860. His third wife was Anne(a) Steele Bryant Vandeville - mentioned in this letter. That meant John Bell Fuqua's Aunt Anna (his mother susan's sister) became his step-mother-in-law...small world, isn't it?

      BTW, Walter O (aka W.O.) Carter's FIRST wife - Sophia's mother - was Nancy Agnes Blair, descended from the John-Thomas-Hugh Blair emigrees from Ireland the previous century
