Joshua ROUNTREE
Zilphia DURDEN

Husband: Joshua ROUNTREE — said to be identical twin of George
Birth: 1783, NC
Death: 1851, Emanual Co., GA
Occupation: farmer
Father possibly: John ROUNDTREE
Mother possibly: Nancy MANNING

Some sources give Joshua these parents:
Father: George ROUNTREE (c1758-1830)
Mother: Delila __?__
And some say Delila was the above John's wife. I have no idea what is correct, here, so caveat emptor!

Marriage said to be: 1801, Montgomery Co., GA
Was this marriage date concocted to support that John is their son?
Given Joshua's age, 1801 would have been a very early marriage for him (at age 18).

Wife: Zilphia / Zelphia / Zilpha / Zelpha DURDEN
Birth: 16 Nov 1784 or 1786, Granville Co., NC
Death: aft. 1870, Emanuel Co., GA
Occupation: homemaker
Father: Jacob DURDINO, Sr. (1755-1845)
Mother: Mary Ann HILLIARD (1765-1846)

Children:

Based on the 1820 census, our subjects have no children born before 1810, which supports that the 1801 marriage date is too early.
. Mary "Polly' ROUNTREE, b. 4 Dec 1804; d. 3 Oct 1851
. John ROUNTREE, b. 24 Jul 1809
