OUR SOUTHERN ANCESTORS

Welcome to my web pages. The motivation for
this web page is to share and discuss the vast amount of information I have
amassed on the Sorrells of Madison and Walton Counties, Georgia, Sorrells
of the South, Cash and the Francis Wright families of Amherst County,
Virginia and on other ancestors of mine.. I also wanted to preserve these
records for my children and grandchildren and to make these records easily
accessible.
The Francis Wright family, the
Whitehead family, the Bohannons, the Skeltons, McAshans, Jolly families and
others have been researched since the book was finished. It is not meant
to be all inclusive of the descendants I have found. I suggest that
you see that book also if you want more details on this or selected other
southern Sorrells or Cash lines. The book is out of print, but is
in about 75 libraries throughout the country, and possibly available by
interlibrary loan.
The main couples and descendants
of each Sorrells generation have been linked for you to access them easily from
the descendants index, also many of the other families are indexed. Each couple or child has been given a number
to facilitate finding him or her. The numbers are sequential and simply
counting forward or backwards will lead you to the person with a particular
number. This facilitates cross references throughout the text when
mentioning that person elsewhere.
Parenthesis with the first names and
superior generation numbers of the ancestors from whom he descends are given
beside the descendant's name in the biography.
I have put brackets in the text
to document the sources I used. This lets the researcher know where he
may look for further details. I have worked with diligence, but as
always, errors will inevitably surface in a work of family history, which is,
by nature, a secondary source. It is always best to look at
the original or primary source for the answer when conflicts arise.
