This family history is an ongoing work in progress. Many hours of work have gone into this project, thanks to the help of many family members and friends.

Without the help of folks like Glenda Bennett Duncan, Virginia Kolb, Jack Fowler, Max C. Bennett, Clifford Sands, Jim Mabe and Audrey Mabe, and Suzie, as well as numerous other friends, relatives and acquaintances, this site would be much smaller. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you feel I have erred in my information.

The are many surnames to be found in this report. For a complete listing look at the surname index and click on any that are familiar to you. Even though there are many names listed, the majority of the information is on the following families which at some point during their life time settled in Stokes County, NC. These families are
Bennett
Mabe/Mayabb/Maib
Freeman
Goad
Lovins/Lovings
Lankford
Carroll
Ziglar/Ziegler
Stephens
Throckmorton
Zimmerman

The Mabe family is traced to William Mabe from England, the Bennett family is traced to Benjamin Bennett who came to Stokes County from Virginia

The Ziglar/Ziegler family goes back to Johann Ziegler of Germany and the Carrolls to Andrew Jackson Carroll.

The Lankford family is still in it's infancy but is well under way thanks to a couple new gen buddies,who like myself are addicted.

My primary research relates to my families that are from Stokes County, NC. This is a work in progress and surely has some mistakes or errors. Be kind!
