Information on David Faulconer

From "Faulconer Genealogy", by William S. Scroggins, Taylor Mill, KY:

Mary, the wife of David Faulconer, appears to have been Mary Byrom, daughter of Peter Byrom and Mary Nightingale. On 09 February 1705/6 Mary Byrom, wife of Peter Byrom, formerly Mary Nightingale, was executrix of John Nightingale. Peter Byrom died before 16 February 1719 when his will was proved, leaving his estate to his wife Mary, son John and daughters Frances, Sarah, Elinor, Elizabeth and Mary. His executors were wife Mary and William Greenhill. After the death of Peter Byrom, his widow Mary married Garrett Fitzsimmons and the two of them shared the administration of Peter Byrom’s estate in 1724, with William Greenhill as security. Mary Nightingale Byrom Fitzsimmons (Phitsimmons), left land to her daughters Mary Faulconer (Faulkner) and Frances Meadors, when she died in 1756. David Faulconer and Mary Byrom were the parents of Nicholas Faulconer who married Martha Greenhill and lived in Cumberland County, Virginia. In 1777 Martha Greenhill Faulconer released her right of dower to 100 acres of land that formerly belonged to Mary Byrom. Martha Greenhill who married Nicholas Faulconer was a sister of Ambrose Greenhill, who made a bequest to her in his Essex County will which was dated 12 April 1790.
