You no doubt have researched this more than I. I found him at the new LDS site, but the submitter has Wm. James Basham/Sarah Mary as Obediah's parents vs. Malcolm Basham's web site where Wm. Basham, Sr/Elizabeth Unknown are listed as Obediah's parents. I would like to know the real truth too. We're going to Bedford, VA this month. Francis (Frank) Basham, Obediah & Celia's youngest son, is my wife's gr-gr-grandfather. I haven't seen this msg. board before, so was surprised to see Obediah Basham (b. 7 April 1760, VA) listed...........Larry
