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
FTM will only allow me to post 5 families at a time. If you would like for one of the above families to be posted , mail me and I will add the family to those posted below. All these are posted in NGS standard format, but can be posted in OUTLINE (a briefer) descendent form, as well.
However, 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.
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.
