Notes

From http://www.vagenweb.org/shenandoah/thrifttressms.html

”There are records of several Nathaniel Friths living in Virginia prior to1677, all who married Elizabeths. The first, whom I shall designate as Nathaniel I, was born about 1598 and his wife Elizabeth, was born about 1602[6]. As Virginia was not colonized until 1607 their place of birth had to be England. I have no record of their coming to America, although the timing is such that Nathaniel I could have been the son of Richard who was with John Smith's company and he married a daughter of another member of that Company.”
”With the numerous Nathaniels, their wives Elizabeth and the Williams andthe paucity of records it is impossible to make any genealogical chart prior to 1700 except on highly speculative suppositions. Therefore, I will start with Nathaniel Thrift, his wife Elizabeth and their nine children living in Old Rappahanock County.”
