Ahnentafel #891 - Mary Landis

Died: May 25, 1795 in Mercer Co., Kentucky

Buried: unknown

Married: 1) Michael Goodnight, Feb. 19, 1762 in Virginia or North Carolina
2) (--?--) Flanigan ca. 1787 in Kentucky

Biography:
The date that Michael Goodnight and his family first set foot in Mecklenburg County, Province of North Carolina is not known, but we do know that he was there on May 3, 1764, because on that date, he and his father-in-law Christopher Landys, purchased 190 acres for 65 pounds from James and Ruth McClain. The location was described as being on Three Mile Creek, being a branch of the Rocky River. Mecklenburg County was then two years old, having been cut off from Anson County in 1762. As was often the case, the deed was not recorded until the property was sold. Then, this deed was proved in the October term of Court 1774 by Martin Phifer, Esq. a subscribing witness thereto. 

For years, we searched and searched trying to identify the parents of Mary Landers/Landis
