I am interested in my Davis lineage. John D. Davis-born in Cumberland, VA, 1805; died- Buckingham, VA, 1860. Married Mary Jane Carter (Buckingham, VA 1811-1907 ). I have the Davis/King family Bible with photos that I would like to identify. I cannot find any additional info past John D Davis. Also, I am related to Meador, King, Watkins, Guerrant, DuToi, L'Orange, Ragland, Burks, Womack, Seamster, Ligon, Conner, & Crowder families of VA. Most of my family on both sides has VA roots (Southern Colonies). I am a member of DAR, and my aunt (who traveled many times to UK to do research-it was lost when she passed) was a member of the Huguenot Society and Valley Forge Society. I would like to trace back as far as possible. I would also like to meet relatives. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Template:Daniel Guerrant Template:Pierre Guerrant Template:Daniel Guerin Template:Marie L'Orange Template:Pierre DuTois
The biography for C Davis was born and grew up in Richmond, Virginia. Most all of my family roots can be traced in Virginia. I am very interested in history and genealogy.
- I am very interested in the Huguenot migration and settlement. I live near Manikintowne (now Manakin), Virginia, and plan to use their library once it it open again (after the Covid Virus). My aunt was an active member of the Huguenot Society and I am planning to join ASAP. My Huguenot family names are Guerrant, Trabue, L'Orange, and DuTois, to name a few. I have traced them to France. I am very interest in this lineage and history. I would very much like to be a part of the project and assist in the research. (I have had difficulty trying to post this question to the proper web site area.)
- I am very interested in the southern colonies, particularly Virginia. Most all of my ancestors on both sides are from the Colony of Virginia. I am researching colonial America/Jamestown.
- I have found paperwork linking me to an ancestor at Valley Forge.
- I am a member of DAR.

I totally enjoy researching my ancestory and working on this project. Unfortunately, I have had several huge family committments that have kept me away from my computer for a while. I hope to be able to focus once again on this project and continue to do genealogy work. I am a member of several organizations such as DAR. I am planning to join several more in the near future. I have done very little research in the past 6 months, however. I am hoping to resume very soon. Thank you for being a leader and for your support and endeavors. Carolyn Davis Russ
Would you be able to work on these??
Mary
Found this one you adopted, Carolyn, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Marshall-6407 that is a contribution for SoCOL, and one you can work on. Also this one needs sources https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fox-2416 Would you be able to work on these??
Yes! Thank you very much! I would like to work on the Marshall lineage. I should be able to resume my research in the very near future.
I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
Mary~ Project Coordinator, Membership, US Southern Colonies
However I went through your contributions and found two profiles which looked like Southern Colonies to me..... They are Watkins-2547 and Johns-3389. Have an active six months.

I heard from you three months ago when you joined Southern Colonies and the Jamestown team. You were working on direct lines.
Please notify me of Southern Colonies and Jamestown activity or you can post a message on my page here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Richardson-7161 (If you do not know which team you are on, then contact me for clarification)
Thanks for your help.
Mary Richardson ~ Project Coordinator, Membership
Jamestown is complicated since it sort of started 1606 and ceased by 1625 when the Virginia Company was no longer instrumental in sending people to America.. After that it became Virginia Province, then the state of Virginia.
Here is the Jamestown page. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Jamestown,_Virginia_Colony It has links to its other pages. If you ever need help in proving an ancestor of Jamestown, I am the team leader. In fact most of the Jamestown page I put together.
So I think You are related to my mom, therefore I think you might be interested in joining the Huguenot Project on GEDmatch. Moms parents were famous- Earl A. Weaver-Pless and Wilma Davilla Snell from Winchester, Franklun County, Tenn . They were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall if Fame. Mom grandpa was John Ten Shillings Bell Shasteen Shasteen. I am part of a 50 person Shasteen project on Gedmatch. I wondered if you might be interested in joining the reserach group? If so, please follow the links below. Thanks, .
