I had a message from a descendant of Alcinda Tapscott, who married Thomas Snead. Alcinda is a descendant of Nancy Ann who married William Tapscott (son of Capt. Henry), but is probably a child of an earlier marriage. The message stated that Alcinda and Thomas had come from Scotland to Culpeper County Virginia. It is just possible, but I really need proof. Alcinda and Thomas did not marry until they were in Kentucky. There is still much that is mysterious about this family. William apparently married three times, but we know nothing about his first wife, Frances Washington, and little about his last wife Nancy Ann, who may have married a Graham and may have come from Scotland. I may not be able to clear this up before my 2nd edition is printed. Any help would be appreciated.
