Subject: Researching Creed, Johnson, Beckwith, Hudgins/Hutchins, Drake, Hines > Griffin, Gross, Parnell, Hunt, Burton, Wrenn, Hamlin, Jennings > > John Fox > Winston Salem, NC John, I am often struck by the familiarity of your family names and like names, seemingly collateral families of my own. Please offer any information you might have on the BECKWITH family in early Surry Co, VA. A likely distant ancestor in Surry Co., VA, William HAWKES/HUX witnessed the will of John COLLIER in 1732. John was likely married to Grace LUCAS reportedly the daughter of William LUCAS and Grace BECKWITH. Are you familiar with the inter-relatedness of the COLLIER, LUCAS, HUX, HAWKINS, BECKWITH, BRIGGS, FLOOD and REEKES families of this period? Thank you, Robert L. Hawks Bozeman, MT
