Notes about entries:

*Many of the surnames in out tree have several spellings, especially for our immigrant forefathers. I have reverted the entries to the most commonly used spellings found in documenting records.  examples : Kesner/Kessner/Casnor, Cecil/Cissell, Cooke/Cook, Vowells/Voles are just a few. I have tried to note on the earliest ancestor of each line the many varied spellings used for the same family line and the original name used before immigration.

*Many leaves on the tree are still just names, have patience! This is a huge work in progress as I and others attempt to thoroughly document each person on the tree.

*All photos are copyright materials used with permission other than ones expressly marked taken by myself. Please do NOT reuse these photos without direct permission from those who contributed them. Each photo has a credit and contact information of the contributor should you like a copy for your own records. Thank You.

*I have tried my best to be thorough with sources for each entry with documentation. Some entries are gleaned from the research of others found online, I have documented where available both the person who added the research and the sources they used as well as where the information was found so that future generations can use this information to confirm or reach thier own conclusions as to the accuracy of the research. Unfortunately with things moving so fast on the internet, some information may move or no longer be available online.

* Please Note that some families did have Slaves. I have done my best to research what became of these people but information is scarce. For now I have attached them to the families of the persons who were their known holders with their last name and the title Slave. This does not denote a blood relationship but only a way to quickly search the indexes for these persons as I have no other means to attach them to their own families. Those that I have been able to document with their own family are noted as such and those that are known to have a blood kinship are noted accordingly. I hope to fill out these families as information becomes available to make the information useful for those searching for their own heritage from these persons.
