Descendants of John (Sr.) Sheffield

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN (SR.)¹ SHEFFIELD was born Abt. 1727, and died 1796 in Moore Co., North Carolina. He married HANNAH (JOHANNA) SMITH/MELTON.

Notes for HANNAH (JOHANNA) SMITH/MELTON:
Hannah is very likely Johanna Smith. In daughter Mary Sheffield Dunn's DAR files in the library in Anson Co., N.C., they list Mary's parents as John Sheffield and Johanna Smith. It is likely that she was the sister to Everett Smith, who signed John Sheffield Sr.'s will, and whose daughter Priscilla married Hannah's son Adam Sheffield.
There have been researchers who have thought she have been a Melton. No definitive proof either way.
Hannah was said to have lived to age 106.
