Hi Jim, not my family but I am interested in the George family as Parnack George [died in Fauquier Co VA] of Nicholas George line out of Lancaster Co VA, was a neighbor and friend of my Rev War soldier, William White Jr. born Jan 10, 1755 in Prince William Co VA, but it called it Fauquier Co VA in his RW pension application filed in 1832 LCT. A portion of Pr Wm Co became Fauquier Co in 1759, 4 years after his birth. ***** Lancaster Co VA Will Abstracts, 1690-1709 by late Sam and Ruth Sparacio. page 78 An inventory of ye estate of Thom.

They require the same proof that Jamestown Society requires but only charge $40.00 for membership versus Jamestown's $300.00. Certificates are nice to pass down but $300 is too much for this one in my opinion. I hope you find something new in all this typing. Ginny Keefer nee White
