I'd sure like to learn more about Christopher Hoomes. Is he connected to amy of the Hoomes, Homes or Holmes who are currently under discussion? I think Christopher was born about 1700, possibly in Culpepper County, VA. I believe his father was George Hoomes. I also believe he might have been married to (or had a relationship with Elizabeth Freeman). They might have parented the following Hoomes children: Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, George, Mary and Frances. Christopher also had a child out of wedlock with Margaret (Margery) Sherrill about 1742. The child was named William Sherrill. I will appreciate your help. Don Sherrill - Phoenix
