Publisher's Synopsis
"My research has focused on the early generations: the little-known names and families of the Middle Ages, documented by county and dialect into the Early Modern and Modern periods of England and the Colonial Period of Virginia to the 20th century. . . . A few of the earliest traceable families of Devon are presented including two notable ones of Devon, London, New Haven Colony and County Wexford, Ireland. Finally, two collateral lines of descendants of Colonial immigrant William Hatchell are discussed and traced through four generations of. the post-Revolutionary War era from Virginia." -- p. xv.
