Hi I would like to join the Southern Colonies project. One of my ancestors came over to Colonial Virginia in 1650 and settled in Westmoreland. My branch of the family stayed in the UK and moved to Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and the West Midlands. In Colonial Virginia the surname changed to Hore, Hord and Hoard. Their descendants moved to Middlesex, Essex, Caroline, Stafford, PWC., NC., Halifax, Charlotte, West Augusta, Kentucky etc. Paternal y-DNA has been confirmed with many descendants of the Hord family of Virginia. Mary Hord formerly Carber aka Dickinson profile is already part of the Southern Colonies project (Carber-5), she married Ambrose Hord grandson of John Hoare/Hore who came to Virginia in 1650.

I'd like to join the US Southern colonies project and add the badge to my profile. I'm interested in the Southern Colonies because of my Abercrombie connection as well as stories of my early Dowdey ancestors. Most of my ancestors show up in Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia

I would like to join the Southern Colonies Project.  I am a descendant of Samuel Flake and I have further information that potentially shows he was not born in North Carolina but immigrated there in 1720.  Everywhere I look shows his birth is North Carolina, but no one can trace his father.  I believe that is because he wasn't born there.  He is probably related to Robert Flake, but I don't know exactly how.

This project is closed for the time being, it may be revitalized at a future date.  You might consider Southern Pioneers priject.

Answer 7

Hello Paula,

I have traced a family line back to Virginia, which has led me into researching a lot about the descendents of the William Moseley who arrived in Virginia in 1649, from Rotterdam, but born in England. I think this is the branch I will connect to, so backtracking from there, but even if I don't, what is the point of researching all this if I don't share the info with anyone else who may be interested? So I certified pre-1700 and that led me to your project. May I join? Would you kindly recommend any sub-projects you think I should look into collaborating on? Thank you.
