John Burgwyn, Carolinian; John Jones, Virginian; Their Ancestors And Descendants

By: Burgwyn Jones, Walter

Book Overview

Behind every old Southern name lies a story of arrival, survival, and legacy. Family history shapes us all. In "John Burgwyn, Carolinian; John Jones, Virginian; Their Ancestors and Descendants", Walter Burgwyn Jones opens a rare window onto the intertwined Burgwyn-Jones family history and the wider web of North Carolina and Virginia families that helped to build early America. Tracing colonial American ancestors through the colonial and antebellum South, he gathers names, marriages, migrations, and recollections into a vivid narrative of kinship that will resonate with anyone curious about southern family genealogy or the deeper currents of American genealogical history. More than a private family record, this volume stands as a meticulous family history reference and a rich genealogy research resource. Jones situates the Burgwyns, Joneses, and their allied houses among old Southern families whose Virginia and Carolina lineages reach back to the first generations of settlement, revealing how personal fortunes rose and fell alongside the young republic. Historians of the colonial and antebellum South, southern ancestry researchers, and general readers alike will value its careful reconstruction of lives otherwise scattered in parish books, court papers, and fading memory, and its place as an early American genealogy classic. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This handsome heritage edition offers readers, researchers, and classic-literature collectors an enduring gateway into a remarkable chapter of American family history.
