On the marriage license between Philip Williams and Ann Vest, is the listed bondsman, Isaac Vest. An Isaac Vest old enough to stand as bondsman, (whatever that means), is not mentioned in the official Vest family website. If anyone could locate this Isaac Vest, it would greatly help solving the ever-present mysteries of the Williams Vest union. Another problem is whether their children were illegitimate or whether Ann ever gave birth to any of them with Philip. If they were born in the 1750s and only married in 1808, then they would have been having children at nearly 60! Not impossible, but unlikely. This gives rise to the next problem- in order for any of them to have been on the Guion-Miller Rolls, they would have had to have been born legitimately. Perhaps the legitimate offspring of illegitimate children were ok? The ones who appeared on the Rolls apparently were grandkids of Philip and Ann.

So many questions about this affair! The more that are asked, the more which pop up!
