Parentage

From Ussery Website of Cindy H. Casey:

William Ussery and Sally (Sarah) Williams

It is unclear when William Ussery was born or who his parents were, but he died around 1809 in Lunenburg Co., VA. On Dec. 21, 1797 he married Sally Williams in Lunenburg Co., VA.

Note [not from Ussery site listed above]: from records in Lunenburg County, Virginia, it appears fairly apparent that William Ussery was the brother of Nancy Ussery, who married John C. Christopher. William is mentioned in several Lunenburg County records and deeds with John Christopher (as shown below).
