She was my great4-grandmother and lived on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, at the "Evergreen" plantation in Accomack County after her second marriage to her fourth cousin, Thomas Hatton Kellam, Sr. (1790-1841), where they are buried. A native of Northampton Co., VA, she was descended from many of the founding families of Virginia's Eastern Shore, the Norfolk/ Virginia Beach area, and the Northern Neck of Virginia, and three of her immigrant ancestors have been documented back to royalty, Margaret Nelson Teackle, Thomas Stratton, and Richard Wright. This portrait was passed down to her great-great-granddaughter, Evelyne Cox Sherbondy (1910-2002) of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA, who graciously loaned it to me to copy.
