Jim's last email struck a chord, and since it's the season of sharing . . . about 5 yrs ago, I went to the Heritage Society Library in Marshall and started copying the hand-drawn charts done years ago by the late Triplett Russell, friend and fellow researcher to the illustrious John Gott. As an effort to get some research and communication going on this list, I'm going to start posting the families Mr. Russell charted out. Working full-time and having 2 small children, I only made it through "C" so far. So, beginning with ABBETT, here's some information on Fauquier families that you could only find at the Heritage Society in Marshall, at least as far as I know: Numbers preceding names are generation numbers.
