Peter Foy (1745 - 1782)

I believe that Peter FOY was the son of Thomas FOY Sr. & Rebecca POTEET, who lived in Baltimore County MD, from before 18 January 1726 (when their son John FOY was Christened/Baptised at St. John's [Anglican] Parish--until after November 1748, when Thomas FOY Sr. sold their land and moved to NC. In 1749 Thomas FOY became a licensed Inn-keeper in Craven County NC. Thomas FOY Sr. was succeeded by his son John as a NC Inn-keeper, and another son, Thomas FOY Jr. also was an Inn-keeper in NC. Other members of my FOY Family are not yet convinced that Peter FOY was a son of Thomas & Rebecca, and I am continuing to research this. However, I am fairly confident of the accuracy of the lines up to Peter Foy & Hamital MOORE. However, the family of Rebecca POTEET/POTEAT/PETITE/PATEET (etc.) is very well documented in Baltimore County, MD.
