Brenda, May this will help you?

Thomas J. Alley, (Thomas Anthony10, Thomas Anthony9, Thomas8, Thomas7, Francis6, Jerome5, Roger4, William3, William2, John1) b. abt. 1741, Henrico Co., VA d. May 28, 1834, Scott Co., VA, m. Susannah Howerton, 1776, 1) Rachel Smallwood, December 3, 1816, Montgomery Co., VA

Susannah Howerton, b. abt. 1754, d. 1846, daughter of John Howerton

Children with Susannah Howerton:
1. Thomas Alley, b. Cal. 1757/59, d. 1866, m. Nancy Ann ?, children: Kitty, Anderson, James, Susannah B., Francis, John, and Isom or Isham (births unknown)
2. Elizabeth Alley, b. Cal. 1767, m. Joseph Compton February 27, 1785
3. Mary Alley, b. bef. 1775, m. William Christian, November 17, 1792
4. Carey Alley, b. Cal. 1762/64, m. Mary Short, February 9, 1795
5. Nancy Alley, b. unknown, d. aft. 1828
6. Sarah Alley, b. unknown, m. Keith ?

Some of the dates above can't be right, but all the information I have found gives these dates. My best guess is that Susannah Howerton was born before 1754, but I have no proof. Hope it helps though.
