Thanks to Lyndon Hart,III, Library of Virginia, for his gracious help to me with these families. I have the following family genealogies to post:
Pugh, Norfleet, Thompson,Urquhart,Griffin, Alston, Williams, Clark, Smallwood, Fenner, Nelson, Griffin, Whitmell, Harrell, Hill, Mears, Sargeant, Doggett
This site, FAMILY TREE MAKER, inexplicably no longer allows uploading/posting of recently acquired/updated information on the families. Their 'support' disappeared after June 2011. Therefore, I likely have more information on your family than you might find in the information below. If you would like any of the above family genealogies sent to you, (Urquhart book or any of the reports below, or any reports on the above named families), e-mail me and I will send you the most current information I have.
I do have ALL these family genealogies on the Rootsweb site (click on 3rd line of "RELATED LINKS" section below). Simply type in a name (surname,given) and you can view a pedigree/descendent tree (or the same info in a text format) or you can choose to view a descendent/ascendent chart. This site will not provide names of any living people, however.
Please advise me of any mistakes I have made in these genealogies. I will appreciate any additional information you might have to add to these families.
There is more information on some of these families on the "Historic Woodville" home page, shown below on the "RELATED LINKS" section.
