Fifth Generation

I now live in Virginia so I thought it would be interesting to note who of my ancestors also lived in Virginia. Many early American settlers arrived to the Americas through Virginia so many start off in Virginia before moving south to settle newer colonies there. So far I only have those of my mother’s line listed.

My mother’s great-grandparents were: William Etheridge, Callie Carter, Parthenia Lomax, William Burns, John Johnson, Annie Isbell, William Warren, and Willie Inez McDonald. I will try to share more information about them at some point. Some of them were still alive when my mother was young. My granparents are also still alive and can share many stories about them.

Here are her Virginia ancestors that we have found so far. This list is mainly to help me when I do my searching to make sure I get the correct county records, etc. Most of my mother’s family moved to North Carolina or the new state of Tennessee. One of her ancestors, (the Beans) were among the first settlers in Tennessee.
