Notes:
John Packs Parentage:
There are two possibilities. James and Martha Pack or Elizabeth Pack (Unknown Father). James and Elizabeth were siblings. Either of these siblings could be his parents:
This is based on the following:
From Jerry Olinger
In regards to James Pack being his father, let me say that I am not fully convinced of that. John Pack does show on the 1840 census of Patrick County, Virginia living next door to James Pack. On the 1830 census of Patrick County, Virginia there are two males living with James Pack, one of which is the right age to be John Pack. I can't answer the question of why James did not mention these two males in his Will when he died in 1853. I can say with assurance that John Pack had to be the son of either James Pack or his sister, Elizabeth Pack, that had several children during the early 1800's in Patrick County. John Pack and Harden Pack did marry Delong sisters in Floyd County, Virginia. Both John Pack and Harden Pack were living in Tazewell County, Virginia in 1850. If John Pack was the son of Elizabeth Pack, I am not sure who his father was. It appears that some of the children of Elizabeth Pack probably belonged to John Cole of Patrick County.
From Jane Warrick
HARDEN PACK was m. to Maria Delong on 20 Jan 1842 and the marriage bond said HARDEN'S mother was "Elizabeth." Harden then married Nancy E. Dean in 1851 in Tazewell Co., VA.
Now GREEN OR GREENVILLE PACK married Nancy Hooker in 1823 ih Patrick Co. VA. Some say GREENVILLE PACK then married Susan Parr 31 May 1850 in Tazewell Co., VA. (This may have been the same GREENVILLE, but I don't know if it was or not - have no proof.) Then GREENVILLE PACK married Rebecca Duncan on 13 Sep 1863 in Patrick Co., VA. I have two (2) Marriage Certificates for this marriage - one from the Commonwealth of VA in Richmond which says GREENVILLE'S parents were J and N PACK. The other marriage certificate is from Patrick Co., VA and it indicates his mother was "Elizabeth Pack." No father was named.
Also, there is a marriage record of Walter S. Stephenson to POLLY PACK in Tazewell Co., VA in 1855 showing Polly Pack's mother as "Elizabeth Pack." (It lists John Cole as her father????)
Now here are three records showing Elizabeth Pack as the Mother. Was she also the mother of my JOHN PACK???
John and Hardin Pack were definitely brothers, based on a witness statement in a chancery record for the divorce of one of John Packs son's, William. In the record William claims his wife was sleeping with one Adam Pack. Witness's claim Adam Pack is a first cousin of William Pack. Adam is the son of Hardin, making William and Adam first cousins.
Now, I don't know if Hardin and John were half brother's which could be the case.
