... In 1879 I received a letter from Mrs. Caroline E. Eubank, the wife of my cousin, Captain Elias Newman Eubank, then living in Lynchburg, ...
Mrs. Eubank, in her letter to me above quoted, says :
"In John Bickley I recognize the person who married the widow of Charles Ellis, and died in 1793, and was buried at Red Hill. I also identify him as my own maternal grandfather - the line running thus :
Jane Lasley, my mother, was the daughter of John Lasley and Fanny Bickley.
Fanny Bickley was the daughter of John Bickley and Mary Hurt." ...
