WHAT DOES ESPOUSAL MEAN? maybe engagement.

FURTHER:
--- Letters of administration were granted to James Aycock for the estate of his
deceased father William Aycock on 11 May 1766 in Orange Co., NC, bond 300
pounds. An inventory of the estate was presented. In the Orange County court
minutes for Aug 1766, James Aycock, administrator of the estate of William
Aycock, made a return on account. One item in the inventory: "Mr. Henry Pope
to Wm. Aycock about 1757 for a mare in Virginia money." At the estate sale,
James Aycock purchased one bed and furniture, one cow and yearling, one cow
and calf, one saddle and bridle, one old Church Bible, and some articles of
clothing.

None of this family showed up in Wilkes County GA until the late 1770's.

NOW - can anyone help me with dates of Richard/Rebecca Pace children? (no matter who they are married to.)
