Family:James Sudduth and Elizabeth Travers (1)

There are some researchers that believe that James Sudduth's first wife was not Elizabeth Travers, daughter of Rawleigh Travers (abt. 1658-bef 1725) and Hannah Ball (1683-1748). That Elizabeth Travers supposedly married John Cooke abt. 1721 (John Cooke died in 1732), so it would have been impossible for that Elizabeth Travers to have married James Sudduth in 1723 and had children between 1724-1730 with him. More research is necessary to determine her true parentage.
