David, Don't recall if we have been in touch before but my Godby connection is through William's son John and his daughter Susannah who married into my Ragan line. I guess John would have been my GGG Grandfather on my paternal side. I am always willing to trade information with anyone interested. I'm curious, if I have had my DNA done through my Jones DNA site, can you compare it to Godby DNA?
