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 #259 Jefferye(s)

Associated family surnames are part of the family tree climbing experience.  Multiple surnames come into play when facing certain brick walls.  For those of Welsh descent, it may even be that certain families come through a common great-grandfather meaning that they actually share the same Y-chromosome.  The Jeffery family of north Wales is such a case. 

This note book contains my research into this surname.  It began being spelled "Geoffrey" in the Norman Duke's battle against the French Kings. [starting before 1060 AD]  "Geoffrey of Anjou" seems to be the first to use this name.  The name moves to England, often connected to religious groups.   The spelling chances through various forms to Wales and the many counties of England.  The content included:

1)  Earliest archaeological evidence of Christian faith in England.
2) Tertullian
3) Salway
4) Emperor Constantine
5) Iro-Celtic Christianity
6) Marin of Tours
7) Ninian
8) Religious orders-
         Benedictines
         Cistercians
         Clunials
         Augustinians
         Premonstrations
         Carthcisians
9) Geoffrey - Norman / French
10) Geoffrey - England
11) Geoffrey - 1300
12) Jeffryes - Burke
13) Wales
14) Various English counties
15) London
16) Ireland
