Lyn P. Baird's Notes:

By my count there are 100 Poythress-born persons in Mr. Batte's world. Of these 100, 71 persons are both referenced in the cards and located on Chart A; 28 persons are only in the cards; one person appears to be only on the chart.

On the chart Mr. Batte uses a relational scheme of the form "nnn nnn …"where n is a numeral. For example, the code for Susanna Peachy Poythressis "211 13", indicating the third child of the first child of the first child of the first child of the second child of the immigrant, Captain Francis Poythress.

On the cards Mr. Batte uses a scheme of the form"(@-n) @@@ @@@ …" where @ is a letter, n is a number and (@-n) is the code of the immigrant. For example, "(P-1)" is Captain Francis Poythress and "(P-1) BFA" is Thomas Poythress of Martin Brandon, first child of the sixth child of the second child of Captain Poythress. Using this scheme one can recognize that "BF" is the parent of "BFA" and "BFA A" is the child of "BFA". Sometimes birth order is followed, sometimes order of citation in a will or some other scheme is followed (apparently in cases where birth order is not known). It should be noted that typically, BUT NOT ALWAYS, the ORDER and the PLACEMENT of the numeric codes and the alpha codes agree. Agnes Poythress exemplifies disagreement of order ("BHA A" = "281 8"); Elizabeth Poythress exemplifies disagreement of placement ("BFA A" = 211 11").

Some further notes follow:

In the LVA card numbering scheme, the card number is actually the number of the SIDE of the card. So there are 205 total sides of cards. A given person occupies between one and four sides of cards. The card number in the spreadsheet is the FIRST side on which the person is found. One should look at this side and sides following sequentially to review all possible notations about the person.

Some persons cited in the cards do not each have a card of their own,as for example Tabitha Poythress ("285" or "BHX").

For persons either not having a card of their own or having a card but no relational code, I fabricated a code. For example, Elizabeth Poythress, known to be daughter of "(P-1) BAA A" is coded "(P-1) BAA AX". Where the relationship to the immigrant cannot be determined from the cards, the earliest in the line gets a "pseudo-immigrant" designation. For example, Francis "of Amelia", parent not stated, is coded "(P-1d)"and his daughter Mary Peterson Poythress is coded "(P-1d) Y".

Every effort has been made to keep the contents of the spreadsheet purely that of the cards. Information from other sources, EVEN INFORMATION ON THE CHART BUT NOT ON THE CARDS (notably dates), has been excluded intentionally

Dates are early and late dates found on the cards, sometimes BUT NOTALWAYS birth and death dates. The cards have some citations of "before"and "after" which have not been carried to the spreadsheet. Mr. Batte seems to use "PT" (prior to?) for "before" and ST (subsequent to?) for"after".6)

For two reasons I encourage you to import and begin utilizing this information soon. First, I need your help in finding my errors. Second, I believe Mr. Batte's data holds real promise for helping us navigate the pre-Revolutionary family and the further use and analysis of this will require the efforts of many of us working together to accomplish. Happy researching! Best regards, Lyn P. Baird
