    Hi Kari

    My 5th greats were Weddingtons.  Benjamin Weddington 1734-1790 and his wife Martha Simpson Weddington of England and Va.  Let me know if you think there's a connection to your Weddingtons.

    Yes there's a connection.  Jacob 1777-1869 was my fourth great grandfather...the son of Benjamin and Martha.   I don't have anything on him going to Co or Ca.  I show in being born in Shenandoah County, VA and d. in Little Sandy, Elliot Ky.  His wife was Jane Presley.  He had two other wives also.  I did know about him being in the war.  When I get a chance I'll look to see what I have on him.  My line to him goes as follows:  Benjamin W. > Jacob 1777  > William Henry W >  William Claybern W. > Anna Fern Weddington > Maurice Claybern Snodgrass (my maternal grandfather).

    Jacob 1777 has a sister, Martha "Mattie" Weddington.  He married a Hatfield.  Her great grandson's Devil Anse Hatfield.  There's a cousin connection with Benjamin and Martha as the common ancestor.
