The Team
The Colony of Virginia Team covers Virginians born before July 4, 1776. Click here for a page that focuses on the history and development of Virginia before the American Revolution. The United States Project focuses on profiles of people in America post-1776, although many of its sub-projects, such as the Virginia Project, previous to this project's revival covered pre-1776 also.
Members
Team Leader: Vacant. Please contact the project leader, Darlene Athey-Hill, if you are interested (must be a Wikitree Leader) in overseeing this Team as well as with any questions/issues or post on the project Google group.
Team Members:
- Alex Adkins-Langen -Colony of Virginia and Bio Builders Teams
- John Albertini My colonial ancestors were Ayers, Brown, Chew, Harris, Randall, Wynne in MD, PA, VA.
- Thom Anderson: For the Colonial period, most ancestors/cousins were in Virginia starting in Jamestown and later in the Northern Neck with many moving to Loudoun and Culpeper Counties by the start of the Revolution.
- William Anderson - Colonial Virginia families, particularly in New Kent and Hanover Counties. I am pre-1700 certified and am actively loading up detailed profiles for the seven sons of Robert Anderson I, then moving down their trees.
- Daniel Ange: Many of my family lines have either travelled through or been in Virginia since the Colonial period. A few surnames include the Kitchen, Adams, West, Minor, and Gunnell families of Northern Virginia on my paternal side and the Dabney, Peele, Fowler, Parsons, Crenshaw, and DePriest families on my maternal lines.
- Mary Baker - Researching my Tullos/Rodham ancestry believed to have originated in Maryland and Virginia.
- Anne Baker member of Colony of Virginia Team,impressed with the Wiki Tree structure of combining data under "one tree". It is a bit overwhelming to read
- Cyndee Bayer- member of Virginia Colony Team
- Rosemary (Birchett) Newman - about Rosemary
- Donnie Blackstone: About me...
- Toni Boone joining Colony of Virginia and Province of Maryland. My father's side are Boones and came over on The Dove and Ark.
- Chris Brady: Many of my ancestors came to Virginia originally. I have a keen interest in Amherst County and am willing to do lookups in the will/deed books I have for Amherst.
- Billie Keaffaber: About ...
- Linda (Brooks) Hoerner = about Linda
- Dusti (Brown) Ide ` about Dusti
- Beth Golden: I have early roots in colonial VA, with arrivals in the 1630s'-1640s, and settling primarily in Accomack-Northampton. Surnames include Croshaw, Graves, Holloway, Nuthall, Roper, and Sprigg. Other early VA surnames: Brown (still searching for direct paternal ancestor either in VA or MD pre-1776), Crews, Prather and Walker. Brothers' (surname Brown) peculiar 111 marker ydna match to Swearingen, Bolling, Kirkland and Walton.
- Loretta Buckner: One half of my ancestry is solidly from the Piedmont are of NC, via primarily PA, but some VA, prior to migrating pre-1776. I'm still fairly focused there (NC) in my research--as there are still some stones to unturn--but I do feel a special affinity for Virginia, having grown up in the region, for the most part. As much as an Army Brat can be from anywhere, Fairfax County was my home for more than half of my primary and secondary school days. 2023 Addendum: Turns out, lots of roots go back to Spotsylvania, Goochland and Caroline County - I'm also quite active now with USBH, helping to trace and document former enslaved and (sadly), lots of exposure through Crutchfield, Stapleton, Duerson, Craven, Buckner, Johnson, Alston... likely more, and this is VERY interesting work, for anyone who loves digging!
- Gloria Lee Buckles Reid- families are: Middleton, Harris, Barham, Thorpe, Judkins, Clark, Pierce, Mansfield, Raper, Kent, Reid, Lochridge, and others from Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. I have been researching these lines since 1983,
- Allice (Burns) Reynolds: ..
- Deb McCarter Most of my paternal side were in Virginia and North Carolina pre 1776. I have particular interest in collaborating to document the Burch/Lawrence intermarriage connections.
- Deborah (Burton) White- ancestral lines that come from the southern colonial period: Burton, Higgenbotham, Hickey, Ensminger, Wale, Stamps and Flinn. My husband's lineage includes the single original Jamestown settler, Capt. Robert Behethland. There are a lot of ancestors from Virginia, but also the Carolinas
- Debbie Nance ancestors in Maryland, Colony of Virginia, Province of North Carolina and Province of South Carolina
- Amy Blythe: I have heavy early & mid-colonial VA roots on my both sides. Paternal: Hargis, Duke, House/Howze, Greene, Powell, Layton, Fisher, Cooksey/Kearse, MeriwetheHair-1386r, Lewis, Rucker, White, Tinsley, Parks, Beasley, Yarbrough, Pope, Fort, McKinnee/McKinney, Godby/Godbee, Royall, Davenport, Ransone, Varner & Stephenson. Maternal: Price, Freeman, Hall, Galbraith/Galbreath, Baughman, Penn, Ziegler, Buckwalter, Shook, Waters, Lanier, Burch, Maclin, Sampson, Jordan, Washington, Westmoreland, Nipper, Harwell, Lindsey, Barksdale, Woodruff, Bevis, Barton, Turner, Moseley, Grantham, Ammons, West, Bates, Owens, Pate & Jones. Main counties of interest: are Isle of Wight (IOW), Brunswick, Surry, Prince Georges, Charles City, Spotsylvania, & Augusta. I am the lead researcher for the IOW VA Dukes (or ftDNA group 2) in the GEDmatch Duke/Dukes DNA Study. Across all Duke groups, we have recently begun to request profile protection on the earliest progenitors.
- Kevin Guy Campbell- I am researching the Campbell Families in all the states covered by the project.
- Denise Carter: My Carter ancestors arrived in Colonial Virginia in 1650/52 . They began with large plantations in Lancaster County and moved to Prince William, Loudoun, Clarke/Frederick and then to Fairfax County around 1890. Once my 4th GGF died in 1801, his large number of children primarily moved to 3 different counties in KY and to Bloomington, IN. From KY, many of the kids from subsequent generations settled in Texas and as far west as California. One daughter stayed in Loudoun County with her husband and children while my 3rd GGF, James Carter, moved a short distance from his family home in Loudoun County to Frederick/Clarke County, where he married and had a large family of his own. Besides Carter, prominent surnames in my family are Norman (Liberty County, GA, Macon, MO and Seattle, WA), Bosteyon/Boston, Crump, Clark, Estes, Gaines, Richards, Hospital, Pendleton, Mitchell, Rowland, Jacobs, Stacy, Wills, Breeze and Salter.
- Jim Christian- My Virginia decendents are from Christian's Creek, Aguata, VA. Gilbert Robert Christian (about 1677-1756) buried in Christian's Creek. I am also a member of the Quaker Project and am related to Samuel Smith (158-1839) born in Reidsville, Rockingham, NC.
- Teresa Clary Willis member of Colony of Virginia and Jamestown Colony Teams
- Larry Cunningham: Most of my ancestors are from Virginia.
- C Davis: I am interested in my Davis lineage. John D. Davis-born in Cumberland, VA, 1805; died- Buckingham, VA, 1860. Married Mary Jane Carter (Buckingham, VA 1811-1907 ). I have the Davis/King family Bible with photos that I would like to identify. I cannot find any additional info past John D Davis. Also, I am related to Meador, King, Watkins, Guerrant, DuToi, L'Orange, Ragland, Burks, Womack, Seamster, Ligon, Conner, & Crowder families of VA. Most of my family on both sides has VA roots (Southern Colonies). I am a member of DAR, and my aunt (who traveled many times to UK to do research-it was lost when she passed) was a member of the Huguenot Society and Valley Forge Society. I would like to trace back as far as possible. I would also like to meet relatives.
- Teresa Davis - about Teresa
- Laura DeSpain My ancestors arrived in Maryland, Virginia and, the Carolina's between the 1500s and the 1700s. My maternal line arrived or migrated to South Carolina before the 1700s from North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. My paternal family pioneered into Kentucky from North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland when it was still a part of Virginia in the late 1700s.

- Mike Eggleston Colony of Virginia and Data Doctors Teams.
- Laurie McKenna I’m not new to genealogy but I’m relatively new to WikiTree and still learning my way around. I’m hoping to learn a lot from this project and share what I can. This Virginia Team is where I have the most experience.
- Rick Fryrear -"Fryrear" , seems to have roots in pre-1700 Virginia, just possibly Isle of Wight / Nansemond area circa 1650 (I am tracing some pretty sketchy sources here). Also working with the USBH Virginia Team and am trying to pull together slave owner profiles by linking back to ancestors' records while trying to not create a bunch of orphan profiles. That so far has involved mid-1700s but I think that shortly I may need to include a few pre-1700.
- Lianne Gregory- have ancestors in Virginia, Kentucky and other southern colonies. Additionally, I have some "brick walls" that I would love to someday verifiably resolve
- Mary Gossage: Most of my ancestors came through Virginia and spent time in Loudoun County. Some stayed, some moved west. And some in PA, OH, MN with ancestors in Loundon County married people generations later whose ancestors had also been in Loudoun.
- John Griscom Jr. about John
- DeSales Harrison III - I'd like join the Jamestown team and the Colony of Virginia Team. Looks like we (might) have an ancestor or two in that area
- Michael J Hatfield-Several of my ancestors and their siblings lived in Virginia during the colonial era. They either arrived from another colony or came through Jamestown. They are veterans of various pre-Revolution Indian wars and/or The Revolutionary War. Families: Alley, Arthur, Cormany, Hatfield, Murray, Smidt/Smith & Talbot.
- Steve Hatchett Rejoining Southern Colonies,
- James F Haynes - Haynes family, first emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634. The Lee, Craig, Reid, and Sharp families, who were pre-1776 residents of the Province of Virginia.
- Malcolm Hoare: About me...
- Lawrence Hodapp: About half of my mother's 3rd–great–grandparents were born in Virginia. One of my more interesting Southern ancestors is Col. Robert "Potato Hole" Woodson, whose mother reportedly hid him in a potato hole during the 1644 attack in which his father was killed.
- Yolaine Hudson - Paternal side came to America during the colonial period in the 1600's and resided in VA and MD for the most part until NC came available, then many migrated to KY, etc....our early colonists- Archer, Bailey, Ball, Baugh, Bolling, Burris, Butt, Byrd, Chambers, Chewning, Chiles, Colclough, Croshaw, Durham, Farrar, Field, Holloway, Holt, Hudson, Jefferson, Moore, Tandy, and West
- Lea (Isaacs) Cooley Most all of my paternal ancestors are originally from the Colony of Virginia. Many arrived in the 1500 - 1600s and pioneered areas in both Virginia and later West Virginia in the counties of Wayne and Cabell. Many of my Isaacs line left Winchester, Frederick, Virginia to settle in North Carolina and some later settled between Wayne County, West Virginia and neighboring Kentucky. Some of my paternal family surnames include Isaacs, Watts, McComas, Hale, Osburn, Adkins, Clay, Davis, Peyton, and Ferguson. Many of my maternal ancestors also arrived at the Colony of Virginia and pioneered into the Carolinas, TN, and Kentucky while my maternal Swiss-German Sigler/Zeigler ancestors arrived in South Carolina in the 1600s and settled in Louisiana (Greater New Orleans and Southwest/Coastal Mississippi). I am also on the Jamestown Team.

- Tammy Kirkpatrick: Several of my ancestors trace back to Colonial Virginia, including some who are confirmed in the Jamestown Society. I have been working to confirm information and source the Townes family of Virginia. Other family names I have from Virginia are Allen, Archer, Boykin, Epperson, Field, Hix, Hudson, Huffman, Jones. I'm sure I left someone out!
- Honi Kleine: I am an obsessive learner with great interest in Early American History. My own family's history is deeply rooted in Colonial Virginia, more recently in those Stith, Smith, Webster, and Vaughan families, to name a few, who left civilization and organized government to do their part in populating the State of Kentucky. Not me, I'm a Hoosier, born and raised.

- LaMyra Morton: I have many lines that go back to the Virginia colony. Some of my early Virginia surnames are Arnold, Bell, Garton, Angell, DePriest, Easley, Parker, Coffelt and Ryan. Trying to get profiles as accurate and well sourced as possible. Will need to go back and add the stickers.
- Renee Newman- Many of my ancestors were in Virginia in the seventeenth century and most went into North Carolin early to mid eighteenth century. A few were at Jamestown and many were in Charles City County, Surry, Brunswich, Sussex, Albemarle, Amherst, Henrico, Nelson, Goochland. My main surname interests in Virginia are Jean, Jane, Davis, Joplin, Farrar, Brantley, and Braswell.
- Robby Nesbitt - interested in Provinces of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Colony of Virginia as that is where there are the most connections.

- Mary Koester - I am working to prove that my Hobbs ancestors came through Washington and Lee Counties during the 1700's from Maryland. As of now, I am at a brick wall for proof in 1801 Tennessee. I am also working on the Oxford family in North Carolina. Other surnames include Herrin, Taylor, and Holloway. I am looking forward to doing some work in this project.
- Melissa Reed ancestors have been scattered throughout the southern colonies since 1600s. Most ended up settling in South Carolina and Georgia
- John Rudd - I am the descendant of many ancestors who lived in Virginia during the 17th and 18th centuries. My direct paternal ancestor John Rudd immigrated to the Colony of Virginia from England in 1698 as an indentured servant, and later became a tobacco planter and land owner in Henrico County.
- L Sauls I have traced many of my ancestors to Virginia and North Carolina. Surnames of interest are Sauls, Higginbotham, Callen, and Younger.
- Carl Seibert: About me...My wife has deep roots going back to early Jamestown. Mainly in the Barnes family tree.
- Lynn Sexton
- Jim Shook II
- Kenneth Smith - Virginia and Carolina teams to research my ancestors. Thank you for consideration
- M Smith= interested in the Scotch Irish of central and frontier Virginia and migration to Kentucky and Missouri.
- Sue Ellen (Smith) Knifley- Many of my ancestors migrated to Kentucky from Virginia not long after the Revolutionary War. At least one line goes back to Jamestown. I look forward to learning more about them through this project.
- Max Snead, Jr.: Greetings to all! I am very happy to be participating! The surnames of my known paternal Virginia ancestors and the number of generations between the first ancestor by that name and me are: Arrington (2), Barte (4), Clark(e) (3), Coleman (5), Cralle (4), Crowder (3), Estes (4), Golding (6), Hatter (4), Jones (5), Leake (6), Oglesby (6), Opie (6), Rosser (5), Rowsey (5), Smith (5), Sne*d (1), Wood (5) and Woodrum (6). The 6th generation people are my 4X great grandparents who became parents generally in the thirty years beginning in 1760 (for a few, it was earlier and for a few more, it was later). Three Sne*ds- Thomas, William and John - arrived in the colony in 1619. Samuel arrived between 1633 and 1635. DNA testing suggests that Samuel and one of the first three are the progenitors of two Haplo-subgroups that moved west from the Chesapeake, often living in the same vicinity with common given names and leading to confused ancestral assignments. I am hoping to make the connection between my most remote known grandparent -- John b. abt. 1738, d. 1802 in Amherst County, married Sarah Woodrum of Goochland on 6 April 1763, with whom they were parents of Benjamin, Claiborne, Elizabeth, Elisha, Randolph, Alice and Hannah -- and one of the two haplogroup progenitors. I would also like to assemble accurate family trees for the two groups up to the time of the Revolutionary War. The various published Sne*d genealogies do not recognize the presence of two lineages before that time. I am 79 years old and live in Denver, Colorado. I have studied Virginia history but still have a lot to learn. I look forward to helping others with their family searches, certain that I will learn.
- Ken Spratlin: Currently compiling and properly sourcing all records for Spratlin(g) surname in Virginia pre-1800. Many removed to NC, SC, and GA, and then west.
- Andrea Pack: I am working on the beginning of Augusta County Justices and its first court I live in WV and most of our families of Pack and Lilly etc came in early start of our country beginning in the 1600s.
- Mary Stanley Magnuson - limited South Carolina connections - but have at least 4 Jamestown Ancestors and all of Virginia, North Carolina and some in Maryland.
- T Stanton: Currently sorting out the first generations of Corker, Jordan and allied families. Many ancestral lines in Virginia from Jamestown onward.
- Don Stephenson ~ About Don
- Alice Stephens Thomsen -begin with the Virginia Colony. It is where some of my brick walls use to be. and then the family moved inland as well as north and south.
- Kern Brogan: About
- Mark Trevithick - maternal relatives dating back to the Revolutionary War. Early on they lived in the Virginia Colony, but over time migrated to Tennessee, Arkansas, and finally Texas. My family of interest is Gentry who emigrated to Virginia during the Revolutionary War. They were two British soldiers who stayed in Virginia after the war and built farms and families. I have two books on and by Gentrys going back to that time that covers their genealogy.
- Sonya Trotter - Ancestors in Virginia Colony, Province of South Carolina (1712- 1776)
- Ada Vieceli Mother's paternal relatives came from Wales to Colonial Virginia to Kentucky. I would like to learn more not only about my family but the history around these migrations
- Rebecca Tucker Morris - interested in Colony of Virginia Team
- Glenn Tuley: My branch of the Tuley family only documents back to 1808 in Kentucky. By DNA we match with the Tuley family living in Virginia in the 1680's.
- Anonymous (Turner) Foster- Many of my ancestors lived in North and South Carolina prior to the Revolutionary War, and some lived in Virginia, including my earliest known ancestor in America, Robert Easley, who settled in Henrico Co VA through William Byrd and the headright system in 1675.
- Bill Vincent: All of my ancestor families migrated to Kentucky. Most of them came from Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas.
- Bill Voit my maternal ancestors resided in Virginia and Maryland

- Karen (Weitz) Wood
- Michael Whitehurst-
- J West - many ancestral lines beginning in Virginia
- Todd Whitesides - Member of Province of Maryland and Colony of Virginia
- Joan Benton Whitsett: I have many ancestors who started in VA, but destroyed records often interfere with me getting info I need. I come from the families of Cate, Harlow, Hall, Jay, Lawrence, Wyatt, Wright. I also follow these families for my in-laws (thus my grandchildren): Presnall, Creech, and even Jane Cheraw Indian.
- Crystal White - I have a lot of family branches that were in Colonial America, and the majority of those seem to have come through Virginia. Some of the names (both definite and still-unconfirmed) include White, Snodgrass, Taylor, Carr, Lewis, Trotter, Herring, and more.
- Allen (Woodard) Jensen I was adopted in 1960 and discovered my biological family in 2014. My paternal ancestors came from Virginia through North Carolina to North Georgia. My maternal line I have only traced back to North Carolina. I have done extensive DNA testing as well and have used that to help confirm my research. I retired in 2019 and am looking forward to learning from the team. My main focus at present is my link to Virginia to Peter Woodward II (1736-1781)

Tasks
Ongoing List of Things To Do
- Help answer questions on G2G that are tagged with Virginia.
- Work on fixing profiles we manage in the:
- database errors report.
- Also work on fixing PPP / Project Management DBE report for Wikitree-24
- Once that list is done, move on to Virginia errors in general.
- Work on profiles in the Virginia Project Maintenance Categories that need attention.
- Need space pages created and developed for Virginia counties and linked to this page. Would you like to lead a county project? Please "Adopt-a-County" here.
- If you have any Virginia resources that you are willing to do lookups, please add them to the Virginia Resources Page.
- If you live in Virginia, please consider adding your name to the Virginia Research Assistance page (see Offering Your Assistance).
- Every once in a while, do one of these and update the date it was last reviewed here:
- Scan Category: Virginia to make sure no people have been added to it. If any are found, move them to a subcategory, such as for being resident of a county. Last checked May 1, 2021
- Help develop the Native Americans Project with information about Virginia state tribes.
- Work on profiles for Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors - see more on the Jamestown Team's page.
- Here you can search for your own ancestors - including those who are American Immigrants and those that are categorized in WikiTree as Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors. Check to see if any of your ancestors found through the search are "new to you" and if their profiles could use some attention.

Cheers, Liz
Thank you very much for your consideration
Unfortunately for a patronym like Stevenson and particularly mine, which shows no immigration records back in the UK, I have had to rely on genetic haplogroups to distinguish among all the Stimsons, Steinsons, Stephensons and Stevensons (and all the other misspellings) that came to VA. While I have tested extensively through FTDNA (700 allele), Ancestry and others I often find that many family names have not, which is disappointing, especially in regard to the absence of records on either side of the Atlantic. My paternal haplogroup is I-M253-FT105120.
To this end I ask all who can, please add their genetic fingerprints to their Wikitree Southern Colonies ancestor profile, and if they do not have such, please take or have a relative take the test. I believe it would help immeasurably in finding new connections in the future.
Poythress Abernathy Clary Morris Lynch Jones Fleshood (Fleischhutt: German) Wright Baird (1615) Wysong Hancock Wynne Harwell Wyche I'm looking forward to learning and working with you all
After years of using Ancestry, I"m loving WikiTree for its collaboration and single person approach. Looking forward to working with you all.
The DNA evidence is pointing to Charles's grandparents as Charles Steward b: 25 Feb 1657 and Grace b: 1672 and ggrandparents John Steward b:1610 and Elizabeth (born in England) through Y-DNA of descendants. Looking for sources, I have found a few sets of differing parents for Mary Proctor, so I am hoping that sharper minds than mine can come to a conclusion as to who her parents might actually be. I have found her family to lead back to Jamestown. The following may be her family: Father George Proctor b: 1667, his father George Ambrose Proctor, b: bef 1658 (and wife Ann), his father George Proctor, b:1621, and his father John Gray Proctor, Ancient Planter, b:1583 (and wife Allis Graye). Stewart-2717's mother doesn't seem to have actually existed. I can find no record of her anywhere except on WT. I put some of the DNA information in Charles's and Johannah's biography pages. Please help me correct this page! Thank you.
Diane has agreed with Michael to not add any more to this family until more research is done. I am hoping someone from the Virginia or Jamestown teams will offer to look at what has been done with this profile and the descendants to help try and sort out the family (as well as look for reliable sources). If you will help, please let the team know. Thank you!
