These DOWNINGS are not mine. I just saw the info and thought other DOWNINGS might be interested. I did not really go through yhem. If you can't find the books, I can make copies for $10.00,which I will donate to the American Cancer Society.

I have long wondered if those VA Downings were ancestors of our Francis and William, because in 1624 another Francis Downing sailed from England to VA, and is supposed to be our ancestor. We have been unable to trace any of his family, yet he is said to have had a family and his descendents settled in that northern neck of VA. Interesting, that. Wish we had more to go on. Are there any Francis' mentioned in those early generations of William's? > Sue Hodnett > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Clyde Downing > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 1:45 PM > Subject: [DOWNING] Virginia Downings > > > While researching at the Auburn,Washington Public Library today I happened > upon a 5 or 6 volume on Virginia Genealogies.
