Attempting to find information on one ELIZABETH McCONKEY who was married to John Burgess at his death in 1775 in Orange Co., NC. They evidently had no children and left their estate to three individuals whose relationship to the couple or each is other is unknown: Lyda Breeze, Susannah Stone, and Benjamin Williams. There was a Samuel McCONKEY who served as appraiser of the JB estate in 1775, and was in the newly formed Caswell Co., NC (formed from Orange) in 1777 and again in 1782.

There was a land grant given very early (like, 1750) in Granville Co., NC to a Mary McCONKEY, but any relationship to Elizabeth is unknown.

There was also a Samuel McCONKEY in Augusta Co., VA in the 1760's, but it does not seem likely that this would be the SM who appears in Orange Co., NC due to the continued appearance of a SM Jr. in Augusta into the 1780's.

Any help appreciated.
