| Are you a descendant of one of Virginia's immigrants? Do you enjoy researching your family, but sometimes wish the information would fall into your lap? Or maybe you are tired of paying big prices for many different books, cds, and other sources which contain only a page or two, sometimes no more than a line or two, about the family you are researching. Then this product is for you!
"Virginia's Descendants" compiles information on Virginia immigrants from many different sources into one file, using the Family Tree Maker, Version 11 genealogy program. We do not compile mere lists of names and dates, but include all the interesting material we locate on the immigrant and his descendants. The information we gather includes court cases; residences; employment; education; deeds; descriptions of homes; physical traits; personalities; transcriptions of wills; personal correspondence; and even contemporary reports of gossip circulating about individuals during their lifetimes. And we offer this colorful genealogy file to the descendants of Virginia immigrants for a fraction of what it would cost them to obtain the material on their own.
William Overton emigrated from his native England to Virginia before November 24, 1670, on which date he married his English sweetheart upon the vessel, still anchored at Yorktown, on which she arrived with her nurse. The Overtons were adherents of Cromwell, and the Waters were Royalists. The Royalists nearly caught William, but Elizabeth's nurse hid him, then persuaded her nephew, a ship's captain, to bring him to Virginia. On the captain's next trip to Virginia, he brought Elizabeth and her nurse. After marrying, they settled at New Kent County and had issue.
