Leanne M (Volunteer Curator - Australia) 🇦🇺 I’m doing some sourcing and name locking in the area. Quite a mess you uncovered.
Tommaso Valarani Your tree work Around James Leavitt is good. Would you mind double checking the repair ?
There is still an issue with Sarah Brown - she is born in 1750, her mother Delilah (Gipson) Riley was born in 1798.
Her two husbands appear to be the same person but have different death dates James Brown, of Wilkes County and James Brown, of Wilkes County
