As requested, the surnames in which I'm interested - some direct and some collateral - are: Gordon Hairston Harden/Hardin Hereford Norman Penn Reamy/Ramy/Ramey Redd Staples Stovall Waller Although my most recent direct ancestry, great great grandparents Harden Hairston and Margaret Elizabeth Hereford Staples, left Patrick County in the mid 1800s all these families were part of the initial formation of Henry and Patrick Counties and the intermarriage is something again to behold.
