Research:

I've been finding several descendent lists on the internet (generally Ancestry.com) for Elizabeth Zane (b. abt 1738) and Thomas Rakestraw Jr. (b. 1718 d. 20 Jul 1774).

I also see common references between the Biographical History of Foster Rexstrew and information probably coming from 300 Years of Bortons in North America  - namely Delilah (Starling) Rexstrew/Rakestraw and Joseph (perhaps Job??, d. 1847/1848) and Mary (Foster) Rexstrew.

Is there a connect here?  

For my mapping, taking Joshua Rakestraw and 1st marriage to Delilah Starling and working backwards through the Roger Dellinger Tree.  Everything's unverified as of this date.
