Reply #95: on my mother's side [View All]

some of my ancestors came over on the Primrose, after the Mayflower. My father's family lived in the Ohio area in the early 18th century. Zane Grey wrote the book "Betty Zane", that mentions a frontiersman who is supposed to be one of my father's ancestors. Since my father left when I was about three, I don't know too much about his side except for that, and that my great-grandmother was native american and her father was a leader to one of the tribes. I do know my great grandfather's name was Joseph, because the few times I talked to my father he told me that in each generation a male child is named after him. My mother can't remember which one. Family on my mother's side has fought for this country since the beginning and unfortunately, some fought on opposite sides of the Civil War. Ancestors came from Culpepper VA to Ohio. Any similarities PWR??
