This is the place to list those names that keep leading to a solid brick wall.  You may never know when someone might just have that one little tidbit of information that will break those walls down.

Here are my dead end names, or those that have me stonewalled if you will, LOL.

Liza Lee, prior to 1825, Married to a Johnathon Wright I believe they had been in Missouri or Illinois at some point.  One of their children was Sarah Caroline Wright 8 Jan 1825, who Married James M Jeffries

George Moore 1808, and Elizabeth Frame 1813 in Gays River Nova Scotia.  I think Frame is from Scotland, and George was born in England, but I'm not sure where.

Reuben Tipton, Prior to 1850, He was the father of Mary Elizabeth Tipton of Filmore Co Missouri.  She married Johnathon Oliver Jeffries 1850 -1936.

Mary Isobel McPhee, 1844 - 1877 ,of Nova Scotia, born in Scotland.  Married to Samuel Moore of Gays River Nova Scotia.  I have no idea who her parents were.

Thomas Pitt 1816 -1822, and wife Mary Ann Spencer 1839 -1924 were married in New Brunswick Canada.  I am not sure who their parents are, or exactly where they came from.  I've been leaning toward the Pitts starting out in England, going to America, then up to Canada, then back to America.  Letters and other records indicate this, but it's far from certain and definitely not factual.

I've made some fantastic progress on other names in y tree, but these so far are dead ends.   I always laugh at Mother, because she is certain we are related distantly to Robert E. Lee, based on nothing but a vague mention of it by one of her great grandmothers.
