Your query seems somewhat vague. Have you done enough research to know where each family was at a certain date and at a certain place? Lumping them altogether with no clues is confusing to the reader. Dates and places are MOST important in establishing linkages. If you are time-limited, you might consider engaging the services of TLC Genealogy. They will do a surname search for $5.00 a surname. They use the records they themselves have compiled as well as the films held by the Library of Virginia. www.tlcgenealogy.com Also, have you used the online search facilities of the Library of Virginia, particularly the land patents (or grants in the case of Northern Neck Virginia). http://image.vtls.com/collections/cc_archive.html#gene Happy hunting.
