There are two sets of grandparents for her. Does anyone know and have evidence for choosing her grandparents?

What I know.

John Thrasher was born the 15th of May 1736 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co, Md and Frederick Co, Md. John Thrasher served as a private in Captain Alexander Beall’s company during the French and Indian War. John Thasher deserted before the final victory. John Thrasher married Elizabeth Ankrom in 1760 in Frederick Co, Md. Elizabeth was born the 29th of March 1748 in Frederick Co, Md the daughter of Richard Arcrum and Elizabeth Fee. Elizabeth and John Thrasher had ten childen.

Further snooping.

George Fee married Elizabeth Jump about 1701.
Children: George 1701, Thomas 1710, Elizabeth 1715, William 1724, Mary, and Rebecca.

Elizabeth Fee married Richard Ankrom about 1747
Children: Richard Jr 1747, Elizabeth Jr 1748, Jacob, Mary, Aaron, John, and William.

Elizabeth Ankrom married John Thrasher about 1763 and had ten kids.

Two sources show Elizabeth born after William (1724)

Find a grave has Elizabeth Fee Ankrom born in 1730 with George Fee and Elizabeth Jump as parents.
Children: William (before 1745), John 1745, Richard 1747, Elizabeth (Thrasher) 1748, Mary, Jacob, and Aaron.

1730 seems a bit late, but 1715 seems a bit early. 1715 came from a private genealogy.

Interesting: Maryland marriage record shows that Richard Ankrom (1727) married Elizabeth Fee (1730) in 1750, which means it would have to come after four kids. Here his parents are David Ankrom and Mary Louise Burke.

Great, I'll study all this plus see if anyone else weighs in before we make a decision. Thank you!

BTW: Maryland marriage record has Thomas Fee and Mary Hook marrying in 1733, three years after the latest Elizabeth Fee Ankrom was born. Seems like too many people are having kids before marriage in this drama.

Maybe this is it: Elizabeth Fee was born in 1730 to the widow Elizabeth (Jump) Fee and adopted by Thomas Fee and Mary (Hook) Fee after they were married in 1733. This is from a private genealogy.

Sounds like it needs some thinking before I make a choice.
