I love honoring my ancestors by preserving their lineage and history in these various lineage societies:

Jamestowne Society

I have been a member of the Jamestowne Society since 2016. I sincerely thank my cousin Sandy Boyd for assisting me with documentation for my application. We both are members under our ancestor Thomas Dew (c. 1600 – c. 1681), who was the 7th Speaker of the House of Burgesses.

My earliest Jamestown ancestor is Captain Thomas Graves.

National Society Daughters of the American Colonists

My Daughters of the American Colonists ancestor is John Cotton, my 8th great grandfather.

Daughters of the American Revolution
