Kimberly, we're currently rethinking the US Southern Colonies project.  When we've figured it out, we'll have a new announcement.

Hello,

I would like to join this project. I have many, many ancestors in the Southern States of Colonial America (primarily Virginia & the Carolinas). My ancestors are from the Prater/Prather, Green/Greene, Crawford, Hallum, Meriwether, Hargis, Bates, Hubbard, Parks, Tubbs, Rucker, & Wasson, to name a few.

---

Amy, as the opening post states, The US Southern Colonies project is being re-organized; we will open a new thread when we've figured it all out.

I encourage you to check out the Virginia and North Carolina projects.

I would like to join the Southern Colonists Project

---

Yes I would. Jillaine let me know that it was currently being reorganized. Unsure when I should apply again & it'll be ready. Amy

---

When we're able to get to it, we will post a new announcement. It may take awhile. Other priorities and pandemics are hindering our progress.

---

In the meantime, consider joining the Virginia and/or Maryland projects.

Answer 1

Yes I would like to join the Southern Colonies project.

Answer 2

I am finding many of my mother's relatives are from the eastern southern states. My mother and her siblings did not know exactly where they'd originated from and to find them located in the Virginia and Georgia areas must put us in this time frame. I hope that my improvements to my own family tree will support this effort.

Answer 3

I would please like to join the Southern Colonies project.

Answer 4

Yes, I would like to join. Most of my ancestry starts in Virginia and North Carolina.

Please sign in and respond to the question again so that I can find your profile to add the badge. Thanks!

Thank you for the notification. My ancestors were among the earliest Virginians and Louisianians. I also have ancestors from North Carolina all across the south as far as Texas.

Answer 5

The William Prentis family of Colonial Williamsburg, VA is a project of mine that should nicely dovetail into this topic.  I have just begun to add their profiles and hope to complete the iinitial profiles over the long weekend.  Thank you for adding me to the group!

Answer 6

Hello, I would like to be part of the Southern Colonies project. Working on the William Prentis family of Colonial Williamsburg.  A well documented family as individuals, but their genealogy has been piece meal, so looking to add a more complete tree here at Wikitree.  Thank you.

Answer 7

I would like to join the US Southern Colonies Project.  My ancestors  apparently came from County Tyrone, Ireland, sailed from Londonderry about the beginning of 1766 and arrived in Charles Town (now Charleston), South Carolina - almost certainly aboard the ship Falls, which arrived at Charleston on March 7, 1766.  My earliest-known ancestor, Thomas Murphy, received a Royal grant for 350 acres of land just south of the British fort at the settlement called Ninety-six in today's Greenwood County.  At the conclusion of the Revolutionary War Thomas and part of his family moved to Duncan Creek near the town of Clinton, SC.  Descendants moved to northwestern Alabama, southern Tennessee and northeastern Mississippi in the 1820's during the great "Alabama Fever" migration.  I am trying to determine where my ancestors lived prior to coming to America and would like to hear from others with similar family backgrounds.

Answer 8

Yes, I would like to join in on this project. I have ancestors who started in Virginia and then moved west into Kentucky and finally Missouri.

Answer 9

Hello. I would like to join the US Southern Colonies Project, and have been researching families in colonial Virginia (especially in the Middle Peninsula) for 30 years.

Answer 10

I would like to join the Southern Colonies project to learn more about migration patterns and backtrack my Pelham line.

Answer 11

My paternal line (McCready) dates back to 1724 in Somerset County, Maryland, but we just can't seem to push back beyond that. The first known ancestor was Alexander McCready, and he purchases a plot of land from the Matthews family in Rehobeth, Maryland in 1724. He is mentioned in birth records for his children in Coventry Parish, and then his will was probated in 1745. There is some conflicting information about his place of birth, some accounts suggesting Virginia and others Ireland. Any help is much appreciated.

Almost every line on my father's side of the family traces back to colonial Maryland, most to the 17th century.

Answer 12

I'd be interested in assisting the US Southern Colonies Project; I've got ancestors by the boatload in colonial Virginia and North Carolina!

Answer 13

Would like to join please . Been researching Family history, The Carolinas, Tenn, Texas

Answer 14

I didn't know I had any Southern ancestors until this week I keep running into the template while sourcing ancestors.
