"This genealogy does not attempt to trace our heritage beyond the sea, but when possible will include the land of origin and meaning of the names. Trace your ancestors seven generation s and you will find 256 people with 127 different surnames, unless the lines have crossed. Of course, we do not have all our state side ancestors listed nor all of the descendants of any of the earlier ones. It seems that the majority of those we have traced came through Ireland from Scotland, with almost all names being English in origin. Some of our ancestors were in Virginia as early as the seventeenth century. Others came to South Carolina as early as 1732. From these two states they migrated to Texas."
