John Granbery [of] Virginia - Paperback

by Julian Hastings Granbery (Prepared by), Alice Granbery Walter (Prepared by)

This family history traces the origins and descendants of John Granbery (b. 1616) of Devonshire, England, who immigrated in 1644 to the now extinct county of Nansemond in far southeastern Virginia. Originally published in 1964, the work is based upon the files of the immigrant ancestor's descendant, Julian Hastings Granbery, and prepared for publication and augmented by his daughter, Alice Granbery Walter. John Granbery, Virginia, will appeal to two groups of researchers. In the first group are students of early Virginia history and genealogy in general and that of Nansemond County in particular. In the second group is any genealogist having an interest in one or more of the book's main families, who will profit by examining Granbery and Walter's extensive compilations and documentation of the following families: Granbery, Hastings, Randolph, Shannonhouse, Mhoon, Cowling, Killebrew, Frierson, and Langley.
