It’s the English in us. You probably have a very fair complexion, lots of freckles, and burn horribly. LOL! I still have freckles, even after all these years of trying to stay out of the sun.
I’ll try to look through my family history to see if we have any of your kin named.
I have a very interesting book, published in the 1940s, which features many of the homes of Virginia, particularly the ones of patriots located on the James River. (Ours is now a ruin.) Do you know the name of your ancestor’s home/estate? If so, I will look for it. Unfortunately, the index does not list the original owners, but the description of the property usually does.
I resemble that remark! :-)
I don’t think so......
I have quite a number of lines that came from along the James River. As soon as my wife can find my password that will get me to the family tree, I’ll share some names here. :-)
