How about that! Our relatives probably knew each other.
Of course, my family wandered off the reservation by coming to Texas. Both sides of my family came down here long ago. I’m a 7th generation Texan on my father’s side.
I expect they did. If your ancestors settled on the James River, as mine did, they would have been just down the river from each other.
As long as my ancestors were first sons, they stayed in Virginia, but in the early 1800’s they came to Texas. We are not really sure when, but my GGgrandfather was buried near Jefferson in the mid-1800s. I have the exact dates in a book put together from research my great-aunt did.
We might be kin!
