Patricia's CornerUpdated September 5, 2000 | I am descended from Leonard Basil Withrow, and Gladys Beatrice Gail Vanhoy.I have searched the Vanhoys back to Staten Island, New York to John Vanhoy and Rachel Cromwell.I have not found where John came into this country from England, nor his parentage.I have heard that the Vanhoy family name goes back into the 1500's in France and was originally Vanois.But as yet, no verification have I found. Leonard Withrow's parents were Richard Watts Withrow and Mattie Lilly Wells.She was possible related to the Lilly line.The Withrow's came from West Virginia around Raleigh and Putnam Counties.The Vanhoy's came from North Carolina with connections to southern Virginia and as far north as Delaware. I have it on pretty good authority that Richard Gray Withrow, my great grandfather, was a descendant of Joel Withrow and back to Robert Withrow born in Ulster, Northern Ireland in 1692.I have not been able to verify it yet through birth records. I am currently searching the following name:Brown, Farrington, Joyce, Lilly, Pilcher, Ross, Tharrington, Waggoner, Wells, Withrow. I am concentrating at the moment in the 1880's timeframe looking for birth records.Any help is greatly appreciated. |
