RN #267 Group Sheets: 22 May 1650

People, places, and purpose are my three "P's".  When all three items come together at one point [4th P...:-)], they represent a common bond that will often break through a brick wall.  For my own family it was 22 May 1650.  This notebook contains my work on these three "P's".

A number of associated family groups [various other surnames than JONES] arrived Virginia on the same date, and recorded their land grants at the same time.  My JONES family flopped right down in the middle of these folks, and for many generations seemed connected.  Placing these folks in a "cluster analysis" it became evident that they were a group of "in-laws" who were "outlawed"  during the same time period!  What a deal!

The above figure shows some of these families as they came untangled among the branches.  The "Underwood" family seems to be the center of focus, and continues to be a family associated group for many generations to come.  All the folks who made a land grant 22 May 1650 along the Rappahanock River are included in this notebook.

RN # 262 Political Connections

This notebook contains my work on one major issue that seemed to come into play frequently in my family.  "Political Connections" I have label the theme, but it mostly contains the families that were associated with my own family tree. 

Welsh line of Henry Tudor (Henry VII)
Howards
Trevor
Penant (Pennant)
Bennett
Hamer (Hamor)
Smyth

RN # 261 Surname: Tables and Graphs

Separating associated family surnames can also bring a number of brick walls.  This notebook contains a group of related family surnames that needed to be identified during many of my tree climbing experiences.  After time, a series of summary tables and graphs were generated to try and keep things organized.  The surnames included:

Francis Dade (alias Maj. John Smith) will 24 June 1663
     connects Townshend, Baldwin, Williams, Jones

William Underwood 1650 Va.
     connects Booth, Fauntleroy, Williamson, Mosely, Slaughter, Taylor

Moore Fantleroy 1650 Va.
     connects Nosworthy, Lawson, Hoskins, Moone, Lee

James Williamson 1650 Va.
    connects Underwood, Jones

Humphrey Booth 1650 Va.
    connects Upton, Fantleroy, Underwood

William Mosely 1650 Va.
    connects Underwood, Fleming, Washington

See RN # 195 for other family surnames connected during this period of time.

RN #245 Regression Analysis - Related Surnames (Vol. I)

(Old) Rappahannock County, Virginia deed/will abstracts, and the order book abstracts from 1656 to 1692 give a record of my early JONES family in Virginia.  The associated brick walls are numerous trying to climb the many branches.  This notebook contains my attempts by a method I call "Regression Analysis".   That is, starting with a date, and going in "regression" (backward in time) in a detailed account, placing associated family surnames in order of their occurrence.  An example is given below:

The Catlett family had a large role in connecting my JONES family to the county of Kent.  The figure above shows one page from the analysis for this surname.  William Catlett, John Smyth, and Ralph Rowzee are connected in a record of 18 Sept. 1690.  Going back in time (regression) each record that contains the surname "Catlett" is placed in order.  Associated surnames are then analyzed.

This notebook (Vol. I) contains the following surnames:

1. Jones, 2. Slaughter, 3. Lightfoot, 4. Taliaferro, 5. Catlett, 6. Thornton, 7. Lee, 8, Townsend, 9. Underwood, 10. Mosley, 11. Booth, 12. Hawkins, 13. Lucas, 14. Upton, 15. Williamson, 16. Nicholas/Nicholls, 17. Whitman, 18. Battaile, 19. Williams, and 20. Jefferys.

RN #214 Our Family's Genealogy by Surname

Associated surnames that are directly related by Y-DNA are very common among those from Welsh descent.  After 50 some years of tree climbing, I have come to recognize that my JONES surname is more related to those of other particular surnames of Welsh descent, rather than the many, many others of the JONES surname.  The following notebook contains the associated surnames (family groups) that are shared by the same common descent.  An example is shown for the surname Lloid (Lloyd) which come through the same family tree Tudor Trevor (JC-1) - Dingd (JD-3) and on down the branches.

This line is to David Lloyd (JV-95) to Jenkin Lloyd (JW-39) to Edward Lloyd (JX-22) who married Ursula Salesbury(JX-23) of Lleweny.  The documentation from Dwnn is shown in the next figure from Dwnn [Vol.II, p.23 ]

The associated surnames (family trees):

     Ednyred Fychan (JI-25)
     Broughton
     Lloyd
     Moiston
     Trevor
     Edwards
     Hanmer
     Pulston
     Salsbri (Salusbury)
     Pennant
     Dymock
     Jeffreys
     Eyton
