THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY PIONEER ANCESTORS!

I started following my genealogy first by listening to my parents and 
grandparents not knowing I should be taking notes for future reference and 
that now I would be having to rely on memory alot. I was told of family 
members who had gone before me, shown pictures , taken to reunions, family 
churches, family cemetary plots,and now am able to look back and thank my 
family for teaching me the fundamentals of Genealogy research. I didn't know 
what a Ahnentafel was then. Pedigree was a term I used for my registered dogs. 
But I did know who my ancestors were and that Colonial Jamestown and 
Williamsburg Va ,Maryland and Pennsylvania played a big part in who I am.
Colonial Virginia then North Carolina Counties of Anson and Rowan / Davie were 
where my family settled as pioneer settlers both before and after they fought 
in the Revolution . Good hard working American's of European -English-Scots-
Irish-Normans-Germans -Dutch-some French origins with a Few Native Americans 
connected. This is a story about Pioneer Settlers - Homesteaders- who traveled 
to North Carolina in Conestoga Wagons along Trading (Paths) Routes first 
traveled by Native Americans North and South along What we now know as the 
East Coast of the United States. Some stayed and settled the Carolinas 1750-
1790 while others moved the Wagons west to Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, 
Indiana, and Oregon or South West to Arizonia.  Others Moved South to 
Mississippi.
