The below gathering of family records and history is from notes, pieces, reading, and correspondence. Becky SMITH and I share links with the BANDY family which came from England to Virginia. The current history occurs in the beginnings in Virginia in the Botetourt County area. With my interest in the JAMES family research I found BANDY/JAMES marriage material which linked my BANDY/JOHNSON family in Washington State family history. Many roads lead to many answers and more questions. Perhaps someone can find some items in it which are helpful. It covers Virginia and Tennessee/ I hope to post it this evening or tomorrow. Regards, Linda Thank. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __________________ Linda M. Thank lthank@turboisp.com __________________
