QUESTION: The best known group of ancestors for Americans is the
Mayflower about the first immigrants to the first English settlement at
Jamestown?
ANSWER: There were about 104 colonists on the first three ships to land
at Jamestown. But only one of them had descendants. Many of the immigrants who
came in the first few years died of disease, starvation or Indian arrows. Of the
900 persons who had come to Virginia, only 150 were alive at the end of 1609.
And in the terrible "starving time" of that winter, more than half of them died.

An Elmore family reunion for descendants of Henry Rufus Elmore and Susan Rebecca
Henry was held June 25, 1995 at Bethesda Methodist Church outside Gastonia,
Gaston Co., NC. Approximately 150 attended.
submitted by: Kelly L. Elmore, Jr.
Mr. Elmore would also like us to credit his cousin. Sally Elmore, for compiling
much of the data he submitted for his BRANCH #5, shown in vol. 14, ps. 22-32.
The BRANCHES section of FEATHERSTON FINDINGS presents an opportunity for all of
those interested in our heritage to record our direct descent. These BRANCHES
are not confined to the spelling of Featherston, but may also include
Featherstone, Featherstun, etc. If you have not yet sent in your BRANCH, please
do so as soon as possible. I encourage you to take advantage of this FREE
SERVICE.
These BRANCHES will be published in the order in which they are received or at
my discretion. Every effort will be made to transcribe material exactly as it is
submitted. However, if errors occur in this transcription process, please let me
know, so I can make corrections in a future volume. If, while typing your
lineage for publication, there is a doubt as to the spelling of your surname,
the spelling of Featherston will be used. These BRANCHES may be added to or
corrected in future volumes.
Therefore, it is not necessary to wait until you have completed your research
before submitting your lineage for publication. Although we all may have best
intentions of permanently recording our findings, too often the family historian
passes away or becomes too ill to continue research work and those years of
research are lost forever.
By publishing your BRANCH and research material in FEATHERSTON FINDINGS you not
only protect your family information, but help future researchers find their
elusive family heritage. You may submit your lineage in the form found in this
section or you may submit the information on Family Group Sheets. It is not so
important how you submit your lineage, but that you do submit it. Please cite
your sources whenever possible. If you find you are fortunate enough to connect
with an established branch already in print, please let me know. The branches
will be merged in a future volume, the earlier branch number will be maintained,
and later number be eliminated. Perhaps we may eventually find a common ancestor
and become one large family!
