I am descended from Nicholas Sewall, First Secretary of Maryland in the last half of the 17th Century.

(Somehow my message didn't post) My mother was Mary Emily Frances HORSEY of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She was a descendant of Stephen HORSEY (I) org. of the Eastern Shore of Virginia (1620). I still have cousins in Marion Station, Maryland. Great site!

Our family roots are VERY DEEP in the EASTERN SHORE. I remember some of the stories my parents use to tell of our ancestors; the EASTERN SHORE; the MANORS that were built and still stand today. Since visiting the EASTERN SHORE with my sisters and seeing the stately homes that our ancestors built along with the rich history that goes with the EASTERN SHORE, I now know where HOME truly is........this is a great website and has been most helpful and informative with our search for the missing link of our part of the REVELL genealogy. Keep up the great work.

Hunton family first apears in Lancaster County, VA, circa 1700. Some remained there, and my ancestor, William Hunton, settled in Fauquier County. Looking for information on links in Lancaster County and adjoining counties. Also interested in links with famlies Ball, Brent, Pope.

Hi, My family is from Nassawadox Virginia. I am interested in any old ariel photos of the area, especially any of Brownsville, the family home. If you know of where I might be able to obtain any please let me know. Thank you.

Hey!! Hello, I am searching the names of relatives who might have Native Indian blood, if anyone has a link or may know please email me, thanks, Sheila Carr names: Edwards, Marsh, Evans, Williams, Hurst these people from Eastern Shore Va.

Henry Martin and Linda Abel, researchers of the Groton family tree, put me in touch with your web site. Both yours and theirs are truly impressive. My principal ancestors from the Eastern Shore were Groton, Garrisons and Kellams. I would appreciate being included in general messages or mailings. My mail address is: James P. Groton 37 Lakeview Ave. NE Atlanta, GA 30305

My mother's side of the family (Hildreth&Rayne) Have been traced back many many generations. My father's side of the famly (Picken) goes nofurther than my father and myself. I believe my grandmother (Beatrice Rue Gladding) was from eastern shore of Va. as was her husband (Richmond Picken) I am interested in learning more about them.

I am looking for information on Hill Drummond Stayton born 1770 in Delaware. He is the son of Hill Stayton and Ruth Neill. I believe Hill Staton is the son of Thomas Staton and Elizabeth Drummond of Accomack, Virginia. Any information will be appreciated. Thank you, Eleanor Damek

Great site. I tried to join last month, but never got a reply so guess the message went astray. I'll try again.

Looking for information on Nathan Carr possibly from Accomac to Delaware and The Staton family of Rockbridge Co, VA

I have signed the guest book first, so I haven't had a chance to check it out, but I received word there is a lot of information on the Staton line, and I am eager to see what is listed.

The page is interesting because I am seeking information about my Eastern Shore ancesters also. Daniel Carmines Sr 1750 lived in York County before he died 1803, John William Evans 1840 maybe from Onancock came to Elizabeth City County, died some time after 1872 married to Mary Wyatt had for children Thomas J Evans born Apr 27 1866 was first, Mary S Evans born Jan 20 1869 second, and my grand father John William Evans Jr was born Sep 2 1871 the fourth child was Rosa Lee Evans born Jun 27, 1872.

Thanks to you I found another person doing research on the BARCO family from your comment archives. There are not many BARCOs in the United States and most are related. So it was a pleasure to find another who is also interested in genealogy. Thanks for the assistance. The BARCOs started as Barecock (Thomas) and then changed their name to Barco in the mid 1700's. They settled in Pasquotank Co early 1700s. Anyone with interest in these names please contact me. Thanks

Neat site,just started searching my native american ancestry. hope to have enough info at a later date to be able to ask relevent questions and where to find some of my answers. jake

I think that this is an excellent site and one that I will revisit many times in my search for WEST family ancestors.

Very successful in my genealogy research

I've enjoyed your web site. I am a native of Cape Charles, VA--currently residing in Lake Mary, FL near Orlando. My family names are Godwin of Cape Charles and Brickhouse of Exmore (Hare Valley). You will see my grandfather's name (T.L. Godwin) on most of the sidewalks in Cape Charles. Also, our family business is Gray's Funeral Home in Cape Charles. This family business was founded in Cape Charles in 1895. Also, Brickhouse Drive in Exmore is named for my family who helped to develop the Hare Valley community.

Searching for origin of Thomas and Isabella Lanter, 1697, Middlesex Co., Virginia.

I am a long-time researcher of E-shore of VA having made many trip over the Tunnel-Bay Bridge to the area researching Kellam & Redden families. Enjoyed reading your web site. One suggestion might be when posting surnames is to put them in caps, otherwise reading message board is tedious. Thanks, Pat

Presently (7-25-98) I live in Wakulla County Florida and have 2 children - Eva Audrey Colona (6-21-94) and Benjamin Azariah (12-21-95). The children's mother is Jana Drab Colona born on 5-21-64 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Most of my early relatives are from the Eastern Shore so this is a great service.

I am enjoying your site. I am researching Hudson, Hutson, Hayman, and Suter families. Would appreciate any info you can share!

I have family in Virginia, but I really what to know the heraldy of the Milby name, which I understand originates from England. How can I research this further?

Thanks!

My ancestors date ack to the early 1700 their in Eastern Shore. My grandmothers family is tracable back to 1734. However I have spent better then three years now searching for the birth place of my great grandfather, his name was Spence William Smith. He died in 1906 and is buried there in Onancock. His birth is shown by the Mormon researchers as being in 1831, however they can't fine his place of birth. I would think that the death certificate would disclose his birth information. The Mormon researchs where denied information from the Bureau of Vital Statics in Richmond, for what reason I don't know. My search continues and if anyone reading this message has ideas on the subject, I would surely appreicated help, .....Thanks Bill, Anaheim Hills,CA

Looking for information on the John Sadler family from Amelia Co. John had one son that we know of named Alfred A. John married a Nancy Hubbard in 1809. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Site was very helpful in trying to identify the parents of George W. Thomas, my great-grandfather who I believe to be great-grandson of Joshua Thomas (Parson of the Island) and the son of John P. Thomas and Caroline Crockett. George was born 1859 and married Annetta (Nettie) Bennett on December 25, 1879. They lived in Somerset Co at Champ. George's middle name may be Washington or Wesley. He was raised by John West Tyler and Kate Tyler (a granddaughter of Joshua Thomas I think).

My first interest in Va has been ancestors of Norfolk Co(as far as I know for sure)) so wondering if this is a place for my search. One Savell family in NoCoVa early -mid 1700s who migrated Ky 1812-14. Am just beginning to explore your sight and decide if other families that I search are from that exact area. Marion Donaldson

I enjoy this site and it has been the most helpful I have found during my genealogical research. I will continue to check in often. Jeanne G. Taylor

Hi! Just found your site. Great Job! Just found out my granadmother was born in Accomack, Virginia. Looking to see if anyone else was searching the same names as I am. Bradford and Davis to date.

I have a summer home located in Saxis, Virginia and am very interested in learning more about the history of the town and surrounding area, your website has been most informative and I look forward to more interesting readings.

Just surfing thru and haven't explored your site yet.

I'm just getting started but this has wonderful possibilities!

Although I didn`t find the name that I was searching for,I think your format is great. I wish more States had one like yours. I am looking for the name Thomas, Walter Wesley,from Onancock,and any ancestors.

I like the things I have found so far. I am really intersted in this stuff. Thankyou. If there is anything else on Fitchett's I would like to see it.

This site is great. I enjoy getting a daily accuate weather report and the genealogy section was very informative.

So very interesting. I will check back to when I have more time.

Being a Dowty this really gives me information I never knew

before. Thanks so much.

Interested in contacting anyone who has knowledge of the Riley Family of Accomack Co., VA (i.e., descendents of Thomas Riley, the Immigrant (1619-1696).

The computer is new to me and I can use all the help I can get.

I really enjoy learning of this area and my family roots that come from there. I wish someday I could see it all for myself. Researching: JENKINS

I am from Chincoteague and I am looking for any information about my grandfather, George A. Cherricks. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

you need to get some more people's history, a more diverse span of people instead of just your family members.

Hi, I have enjoyed viewing the site since a dear friend from Virginia told me about it. Have just started viewing it and have enjoyed what i have seen so far. I was stationed on Cape Charles Lighthouse for a number of years (Old Plantation Flats Light) And met some very dear friends that lived there. So we have always kept in touch pretty much over the years. It would be nice to find something about the lighthouse on the Web. If you know of such a site please would you advise me if it's not too much trouble. Lots of history in Virginia.

Thank You

Sincerely, E.J. Charest 1 High Pine Ave. Nashua, NH. 03063

My brother and my father both live on the Eastern Shore. My wife and I are visiting from California. For the longest time I couldn't figure out what possesed my brother to move here. But every time I come here I realize why. I don't think that there is any place quite like this left in the entire United States. Everything is so built up everywhere else. This area's natural beauty is well preserved. It's very peaceful here. It's a long trip from California but I hope to come back someday. Regards, L.Paschall P.S. If you go to Little Italy restaurant in Exmore, ask Franco about his special aprin.

If anyone out there has anything regarding him just holler. Enjoy your browsing the site even tho Matthew is still hiding.

Just back for another visit. I have copy of inventory of Edmond Bebbe dated 1696 & will of John Bibbe dated 1720 plus other documents of persons in or born in Northampton Co. Are you interested in these for your web site? Can have them scanned if you are. I love your web site. Nita Pearce

I am a descendant of James Bonewell I (1620-1667) and Sarah (Hickman) Dorman (Abt 1630-1659) of Accomack County. Reading the names in the posted messages is like going to a family reunion.

I am looking for members of my family Scott-Fitchet-Morris

Great site! Just posted a comment the other day, but only my name and email address appeared. What happened. The name I am looking for information on is MICHAEL MCKEIL (MCKEEL, MCKELL, MACKEAL(E), MCKIEL).

I'm new to this, but like what I see here. I'm descendant of James Taylor d. ca 1769 & maybe several James Taylors before him. Also from Boggs, Burton, Gaskins, Broadwaters, etc. Currently seeking parents/siblings of Meshack Gaskins (12 Sep 1894 - 13 Apr 1852) m. ca 31 Jan 1831, Elizabeth (Lucas) Bowen, wid. Was he son of William? Keep up the good work!

Hi, Just found GHOTES and I'm hopeful that by connecting with contributors I can add to the generations that I've already accumulated through family bibles, and trips to Accomac Co. courthouse. My father James Thomas Turlington was born near Melfa, and moved to Baltimore during the depression years. His father Arthur rented a house and farmed property owned by a Dr. Mapp. I have photos of the strawberry farm they worked back in the 1920's in front of the house. The house is still standing. My great grandfather William Thomas owned property west of the present Eugene Turlington's farm. That property is the location of graves of my great grandparents and of Nathaniel son of John and Nancy Turlington my great great grandparents. Courthouse records show Asa Turlington was the father of John giving me a path to my great great great parents. I haven't been able to find records relating Asa to his parents.

Marriages down through the generations connect me to the Bayley, East, Beloate, Sturgis, Mears, and Johnson family names with some of the Turlington daughters marrying into the Killmon.

Here's hoping some GHOTES geaneologist can help me with my quest. Tom Turlington

Very thrilled to have found GHOTES and am eager for time to explore the web pages. My maternal grandmother was a Bloxom and I can supply data of the decendants of Edward C Bloxom (18 Nov 1818-21 Nov 1844), whom I believe was the son of Major S Bloxom. Am relatively new to this on-line communication - this is fun stuff! Stef

Was hoping to track down a genealogy email group of Virginians. Wish you had links to that information.

I Love this site!! Very well done. I am researching the Kellam name, mainly trying to find information about a John C. Kellam, born about 1840, son of Edward & Ann__? He was married to Elizabeth Fletcher.

Am researching my Palmer (Palmore) lines that go back into early Virginia, about 1623.....I understand that Thomas Palmer was in House of Burgess and would like to verify this through records.

Great site! I'm the other granddaughter of Mary Grace Gladden Kilmon and Edwin Seal Kilmon. And sister of Jean Parks. Enjoyed the story about Griffin Stith by our cousin Wayne Stith. Haven't checked out everything but like it so far!

I love this sight and plan to visit often. I just found the E-mail address to one of my relatives and have written him already. I am the granddaughter of Mary Grace Gladden Kilmon and Edwin Seal Kilmon. If any more of my relative out there want to write please do so.

No comment now

I am a descendant, on my Father's side, of the West, Custis, and Sherley family's of family's of Virginia, and would welcome any interesting stories. Thanks!

Found this site just by accident. My father, Kendall Kellam, was born and raised in North Hampton County. He will be very surprised to learn about this site.

found this from FAMILY TREE MAKER WEB PAGE. Plan on using it often. Just started my family search of my father's side.

Hi,

My maternal grandmother was born in Eastville, but my mother, who is now 82 years old, has never visited Eastville. Her mother's day gift is a trip to Eastville. She hopes to find an elderly cousin who lives in Eastville. Do you have any information on the African-American families of Eastville? My great-grandmother was named Missouri Wilkerson. Her husband was named Major Wilson. Two of my great aunts lived in Eastville until their deaths a few years ago.

At any rate, even if you don't have information on them, your web site is wonderful. It's an education for me also as I knew next to nothing about the Viriginia Eastern Shore. Keep up the good work!

Barbara Howard

I am trying to locate my family tree from the area of Chesterfield, SC. My great grandfather was possibly half-indian Frank Marsh.

I have relatives from the Eastern Shore. In fact I'm related jack Burn (my uncle). As I am interested in geneology, I do find this interesting.

I am so happy to have found your site. I am a descendant of the Custis family of the Eastern Shore. The trouble is I have been unable to find my direct connection. My great-grandfather John R. Custis was born in Accomack Co. ca 1790, I know this from his War of 1812 papers. I cannot find his parents ??? Can anyone help. After that war he moved to Lawrence Co. AL, where he married and had 4 children. In the process of my research I have collected much data on the Custis' and especially on William Stran Custis who married Virginia Potter. He moved to Louisiana and served in the Civil War from that state. Would love to connect with anyone working on this line ?? Thanks again for the GREAT WEB SITE !!

Happy to see this on the Wed!!!!!!

Nice site, well organized. Looking for Cones from the 16 and 1700s. I think they came into Isle of Wight County and drifted into NC by the early 1700s. I didn't find any new leads here. Oh well, the search continues.

My name is Glinda Corbin, I am a descendent of Frank and Ethel (nee Timmons) Corbin of Worcester County, Maryland. I am trying to trace my roots. My fathers parents were Ernest and Nettie (nee Taylor) Corbin or Salisbury. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what I would do without this site. I must have 'kissin' cousins buried all alongside the roads there. It's nice to know that someone is looking up all this information. I'm now looking for a connection from my first cousin Rachel Bradford Bell (I read her bible). also looking for Martins,and most..I'll always get back here, that is, if my computer doesn't crash!....Jim

Thanks so much for a wonderful web site. I am just getting started checking into my family history and this was a great introduction.

Nice visiting your site. I am glad I found it.

Really enjoyed browsing through these pages. Found several names that I have found near the Bibby family on the Eastern Shore but nothing so far on the Bibby's themselves. Will keep trying. Everything is very intersting but of course I am a history buff.

Thank you for taking your time to do this so everyone may enjoy it if they so choose.

interesting site. some are slow to load with the graphics but it is worth the wait

Great Web page. Foun d someone else looking for the same info,,now we can achieve much working together.

My father's family is from the eastern shore of Virginia. He and my mom spend about half the year in their home not far from Franktown. I have lived in Texas all of my life but have spent several summers on the shore and it is home in my heart. I am looking for information on both sides of my fathers family. My grandmother was Hilda Fox Arnold and my grandfather was Herbert Manning Arnold. On the Fox side I have some information about them, the Phillips, the Joynes and the Winders. My grandfather's mother was an Ashby. I have the Arnold Family Bible and would be willing to share information. I also have several questions. I look forward to hearing from some of you.

I have an interest in the family history. I understand a Henry Towles came to Towles Point Virginia in 1632 from Wales. I understand that his descendents lived in Cumberland County for about 150 years before they moved to Bourbon County Kentucky. A Starling Towles was influential in the Kentucky Historical Society in the 1930's and 1940's and recorded much of this.

I have just found this web site. I'm sure it will be helpful.

This is great, have been researching the Bibby family of Accomack & Northampton. Believe we descend from William via Edmond III then on to Stokes Co. N.C.I

My mother, Joan Campbell, and I are here for a first time to search here. We are Robbins/Robins/Robyns family who came from England to the Eastern Shore. Our ancestors include Josiah Robbins (b. abt 1720, d. 1785 Worcester Co., MD) and Mary Brittingham (b. abt 1740). Mary's ggf is William Brittingham (b. 1640 in England, came to Accomack, died 1709.)

Looking for any information on the roots of the Moses Family from Northampton County.

I am interested in the following surnames who were supposedly in the region of Virginia on the Eastern Shore. The names are as follows: 1. John Sherrer (Sherrod) 2. Lucretia Weathersby (or Weathersbee) 3. Llewellyn 4. Robert Waylan Mayo 5. Shands 6. Townsend

I appreciate the sources for info on your website

Just found the Ghotes,and will check it out, have been looking for the first family of Isdells on the Eastern Shore.

cool! i'd be interested to hear from any relatives!

Do you ever have any meetings or get-to-gethers?

Do you ever have any meetings or get-to-gethers?

I very much appreciated finding the Ghotes Pages. I have a couple of specific and fairly urgent needs and would appreciate any help that I can get. In 1955 in Northampton County, Virginia there was an unrecorded birth that I need to document. The child was born to migrant worker parents and the baby was delivered by a midwife MOLLIE KATES, now alleged to be deceased. I'm interested in leads to 1) relatives of Mollie Kates, 2) anyone who is familiar with the midwifing process at that time including hopefully the forms of alternative record keeping systems that may have been used by midwives, and 3) anyone with information concerning migrant workers in Northampton County including crops, worker destinations prior to and after Northhampton, farm and other employers, and particularly any sources who might have been operating migrant camps or farms circa 1955. I'm sorry I have no contributions to make to Ghote at the moment. I represent an American citizen who is facing deportation unless he can prove his birth on the Eastern Shore. Your help and attention are most welcome.

Looking for relatives of Henry MOON, William MOON, from kingston ontario...Harry(Henry) HYSLOP from Owen Sound and Scotland. Laso BRADLEY, from Resolven, Wales. INteresting site.

I am from Pocomoke City and my family (mother and father) parents, grandparents etc. are from Accomac, Va and Greenbackville. I have been searching for weeks about information on the Copes (Specifically Thomas Copes), Marshall and Logan. In doing my family tree a lot of my surnames I found in your tree. I don't believe there is a connection. Anyway it was great to read about the history of the Shore and be able to relate to the places mentioned.

My ggf and ggm were from the Eastern shore, so I surfed on in to try and find them. There last name was Bensten - Edward Benjamin & Martha Jane Buckhannon. Edward's parents were Capt. Theodore J. Bensten and Mary V. If anyone can help with any other info on these people, please email -- Bonnie Smith - bts@visi.net or Ruthanne Bensten Ray - ruthanne@visi.net

You are doing a fine job. It was interesting to see all the people listed. I am going to try to do something like this for the Dorchester County Genealogical Magazine.

I'm delighted to have found your splendid site. What a clever name. I am descended from the original John Wise who came to the Shore from Devon. I would like to fill in the many links between John and my father, Edward Revel Wise. I will greatly appreciate any help offered. Thanks for going online.

I was born on April 30, 1948 at Nassawadox, Virginia and graduated from Cape Charles High School in 1966. Live in Fairfax, Virginia. Love the Eastern Shore.

I was surprised when i found this site. i found some information on several family names. It was most helpful. Will come back. I want to know more about the chat room. Please let me know where i can join in sometime.

I like your layout, but not much of my lines. Your easy toget around in, I wish others were the same. I've several dozen surnames the orignate in American in VA/Md or course starting with Pocahontas, Rolphes, Randolphs, Pruitt, Chastains, Peters, Parkers, Stokes,Smiths,Hoges/Hogues, McClure, Hutson, Curlee, Atkins(Adkins), Short, Randal, bolling, Isham, etc

It is Sunday afternoon and I just took some time to aurf around and typed in my family name of Revell. I do not think, from what I saw here that I am related to any Revells of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. My grandfather was from Lead, South Dakota, and I think born in Iowa or Nebraska. I have never done, nor had the time to do any geneology research...but have, like most everyone, always wondered about my roots. Since my work is about ancient history--Roman, in particular, I do have an interest in stories about where people come from. Thank you for the work I know it took to compile the Revell list...I did find it quite interesting. Peace.

Too new to make any comments.

Moved from Nassawadox in 1972 to Australia good to see you on the net

Dear Ghotes, I had a problem with aol this week when Ghotes-Digest # 51 was sent. I was in the process of reading it and decided to download so I could read the rest. I received a message from aol it couldn't be downloaded at thaT TIME.

Looking for connection between Richard Warrington and prior generations. Richard Warrington is in 1850 Census of Worcester Co. Maryland as 84 years of age. Born in Maryland circa 1766. A very knowledgeable member of Ghoats suggests the Richard Warrington ancesters I search for are not of the early Warrington Eastern Shore arrivals but appears to be the son of a minister named Alexander Warrington who arrived in Maryland in 1740/1750. Does anyone have additional clues I can follow?

my sister gave me the address for the decendants of James Wessells. looking it over i realized i have no idea what it all means!! i have limited information about my family and would like to know more. your guest book was at the end of the list soooo.......... i don't know where this will lead but i'm working on it thanks virginia schroeder

very interesting I found information on one of my ancestor's, Edmund Scarburgh.

Very informative as I have been interested in Tangier Island and its history. Understand it was settled by a John Crockett in the 1600s.

I believe I still have some relatives there.

As I just happened upon your web site, I need to look at my research before I return. I know that a branch of my family hails from the tidewater Virginia area. Surname is Upson, but beyond that, I have to check..

My Third & fourth gGrandfathers were from Snow Hill Worchester CO MD Parker LUCAS (1776-1831) and Whittington BOWEN, SR (1741-?1814). My 2nd gGrandfather, Solomon LUCAS was (?1802-1851), & married to Elizabeth Merrell B (?1805-??) in Accomack CO. VA 1820 Can anyone visiting this site give me any information on these families? Thank you. Joann

I am interested in your GHOTES page because my grandfather(Severn E. Jacob) originated from Va.His family had been residents of Northampton Co. for a long time when he left there in 1849. He didn't marry until he was 50 years old, hence he could be my grandfather and born in 1834. I would dearly love to find out his father's name, if anyone has records that would help me in my search I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you. HPace

Thanks. I have found a wealth of info on the Baker family in the Staton Family history. My mother's family is from the Eastern Shore. The Surnames are Baker, Somers, Byrd, Savage, Bloxom and Mears.

I am very glad that I was given this website. I have started to research the history of my family, the Wallops. What information I have gathered is from the elderly members of my family and from records at the Accomack County courthouse. I am hoping this site will provide me with additional resources to continue my research.

Kennis

Thank You for an informative and interesting site.

Nice & Easy!

Great page! I spent the summer of 1997 on the Eastern Shore recording the gardens at Eyre Hall. I was pleased to see the picture up on your page. I throughly enjoyed my time there and meeting the warm and interesting people of the Eastern Shore. Thanks!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this site! The names I am researching are BRATTON, MEREDITH, HUGHES, CHILDRESS, PERKINS.

I'm looking forward to using your resources in my genealogy search. And also in my attempt to prove to my father-in-law that the internet is an excellent source of information.

This is a great site. Thanks to all those who have put it together and maintain it. Here are just a few surnames on my father's side: Beall, Benton (Bentonne), Zehring, Sprinkle, Townsend, Chambers, Higgins, Kennedy and Case. Any matches welcome.

Someone told me about your Home Page and I think its great but was disappointed when I did not find some one researching my surname of PARRAMORE. I am looking for information on all PARRAMORE who lived in Accomack Co. and the names of those who maried into the family. John PARRAMORE who came to America in 1622 and ended up living in Accomack Co is my 7th generation grandfather. I hope some one who is interested in the family will see this and contact me. Addie P. Howell

Looks like an interesting www site. Hope to spend some time in here sometime soon! eve

Nice page but what is it about?

Very good! I want to return when I have more time,

Really enjoyed your site. I am researching the surname Savage. I was just made aware that this family was one of the early settlers of the eastern shore of VA.

Website is great! Has really helped with my research.

We are both from the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Have just taken a quick look at this site. It looks great! We hope to start researching the Bulls and the Barnes soon.

Searching Doughty's/Dowty; Anyone w/ info on parents, etc. of Peter Doughty, (children, Hezekiah, Elisha and Sarah), please contact. We know Peter was dead in 1772 and wrote his will on 18 Nov 1766 (Northampton Co). Perhaps Roland was his father, however there were many Peter Doughty's/Dowty's back then and not all from our line. Thanks. Super website!

Great to see the Eastern Shore and its venerable families being recognized. About twenty years ago, I started researching my family concentrating on the EWELLS. (The Ewells in Princess Anne County, VA, etc., are of the same branch as those on the Eastern Shore & of MD). I also have some information on ANNIS, BARNES, TAYLOR, and many other names.

Great side. Hope to do research on Thornton (Chincoteague)

I trace my ancestry back to early coastal Virginia with the name Nuckles (originally Nuckolls) and one reference states that the first Nuckolls was a member of the Jamestown colony. Does anyone know of a listing of the members of the Jamestown colony?

I have just started compiling the family tree which my great-aunt Henrietta Fitchett Jacob began in the 1970's. She traced our family to John Parramore (1605 - 1676) and to Joshua Fitchett (d.1710). I found the Ghote's web page on my first search of the Internet. I was very excited to find the transcripts of the wills of a few ancesters already! Thanks to everyone who was involved in putting these pages together.

Great web site, from a nice place in America

A cousin told me about your group and I decided to check it out. It's a great resource! Last week I was discussing Christmas memories with my mother and she recalled Rochester Cake her grandmother used to make...we were wondering if we could find the recipe somewhere and here it was! The question section would be easier to use if the names were somehow alphabetized. I look forward to using your site more. My parents are natives of the Shore and I'm interested in finding the ancestors of Revell Kellam (1813-1889).

I am searching for records on the Job Pearsall, Henry Begley and Samuel Newberry families

Hi! Surfs up in December!! It's been fun cruising the wed while visiting my folks.

What a treat to go into a site and find it so well organized. Barbara, you have an excellent piece of work here. Your membership and concerned others should really be thankful to have this at their fingertips, with a chat room nonetheless. I am really impressed.

I am researching the surnames of my ancestors (Black Americans) that were primarily from Accomak and Lancaster Cos., VA. I am especially interested in the following surnames: Corbin, Castor, Godwin, and Justice. I have plenty of information, but I need to fill in the blanks. I am also willing to share all that I have.

Thanks, Pat Reese 1738 Saint Paul Street Philadelphia PA 19140

Thrilled to find this site. I was born and reared on the Eastern Shore with my Dad's side of the family coming from Accomack County. I've been doing initial research within the family and am starting to seek other sources. Glad to find you all.

I'm a member ofThe Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society and I didn't realize this homepage existed until a friend told me about it. I haven't any comments yet, other than that, because I just got here.

Finally back on track after extensive remodeling of house. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone at the convention in September. Hope we can do it again in 2000.

Thankful to have discovered the GROTES web site and feel that it will be a great help in my genealogy research

This is the best site I have seen, thus far. A wonderful resource and I am proud to have joined the list of GHOTES.

Interesting to see such a large gathering of STANTs. I have been doing genealogy on the STANTs off and on for many years. I come from the Eastern Shore of Delaware. Family split in early 1800s part going to Virginia and part to the Mid West. Perhaps at some point, I fit into your history of the STANTs. Interesting possibility.

George Stant

Thanks again John

I'm new on the net . I have been looking for years for information on the Mapp familf that settled on Eastern Shore around 1652 so it sure is nice to see this site on the net, as my mother and dad divorce when i was five ,that was fourty five ago. I know nothing about my dad's side of the family. I now live in texas so it is hard for me to search for information as there isn't many books around here to search for your family. I still have family that live in Virginia but having to go live with another family at age five there isn't as much of a relationship with them as i would like, also they don,t seem to be as interested in the family name as i am. Hope i'am not boring anyone, Thank: David Mapp

A most impressive web site. You have really done an amazing job here! I have it bookmarked and will return soon as what you have here will take more than one visit. My web site is at, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3348/ Researching, Salmon, Burnett, Mason, Carwile and Hudson.

Well done web page - no crazy colors and backgrounds - worth bookmarking.

I am looking for information on Purnell Bradford b. abt 1760 in Worcester County MD. He married Edith Robinson. I believe his father came from Virginia. I believe his father lived on a farm next to one owned by William Purnell, and I also believe his father married a daughter of William Purnell. Any information, even if bad news, would be most helpful. Thank You. Joe Bradford, Justin Texas.

Hi, just visited your sight,and I must say that I really enjoyed my visit. There is definately loads of information. I am researching GRAHAM. Most of them I think were probably from the IL area, but it is really unknown to me at this time. The earliest one that I have gotten, (from family resourses) is a Burrill Graham, Sr. Born late 1760's or early 1770's. Died between 1840 and 1850. His wife Rebecca (unknown maiden name), was born around 1779. There are 5 known boys, and 3 girls. The boys are Reuben, Nelson, Burrill (Jr) John, and Lewis. The girls names are unknown. This is all the information on him that I was given, so ... I hope someone can help me. I have just started my research, so...(well I'm sure you remember when you all just started)... it is a little overwhelming, but just like potatoe chips, you just can't settle for just one....Nice meeting you,and hope to hear from someone soon. Other surnames: PARTELOW, MAYS, NEAL, BOSWELL, LEONARD, COX, WALLS, WRIGHT...that is just a start for me for now. Thanks Again...Debbie (ppdr5@netnitco.net)
