Hello Shelby - Those results came from my yDNA test and the men I matched. They had the information. I guess the Mullins line will remain a mystery any further back than Nathaniel Mullins born 1786. Some say Mullins was originally a French name and the spelling was changed in England. Some of my early Stewarts in Virginia were gamblers. I've seen some documents. One of them was a slave catcher around Henrico Co. and was feared by everyone per some old documents. They farmed tobacco as well.

Thank you, Shelby. I don't know where Stewart, Stuart, Steward came from. Some say it is one of the royal families of Scotland. My earliest Stewart was the immigrant Charles Stewart born 1610 London, an anglecized Scot. He was in VA at Henrico Shire, in 1636.

Gracie, Are you on facebook? I have posted my "water" pictures on my page. Anita

Hi Rick; The name Burgess, comes from an old English word meaning Townsman (Burg) In the medeval ages, it meant 'free citizen', a notch above serfdom. The first American Congress was called the House Of Burgess', meaning a group of Burgers,(Townsmen) Some American citys are named for this source : Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Clarksburg, Williamsburg, etc. Cuz, Shelby

Thanks, Bonnie; Other trade names were : Baker,Cook,Miller. The name ,Fowler, comes from the caretaker of the King's birds. Some had seafood names, such as Bass, Salmon,Trout. Some names were of royalty, such as Duke,Earl,Duchess,.Queen. Shelby

Hello Shelby - And all of the son names - Williamson, Robertson, etc. Where did Burgess come from? Must be something to do with the law as in the VA House of Burgesses.

Here in northeast Ohio we have a Wooly bear festival. And it happens to be today. By the end of today they will tell us what the whooly bear says about winter. We won't be going to this festival, we have to deal with my daughters car which died last night. Jane H. - Lorain OH

Shelby, I have come across two in the past few weeks. One was all brown and the othere one only had a small piece of black on one end. I guess we are in for a mild winter. I hope so. We had our first snow last year before Halloween.
