Family Genealogy of Ancestors of Herbert Blaylock and Nellie Privette


For 250 years or more, our family
lived in the hills of southwestern Virginia. 
Scotch-Irish, German, and some British sprinkled in, these bloodlines all came together and created us--billies from the hills of Virginia.

Religious freedom and economic opportunity were the primary driving forces behind the spirit of these pioneers who helped shape our country. 

Our German ancestors mostly came through Pennsylvania and were Lutheran.  Our Scotch-Irish came from eastern Virginia and were Presbyterian.  Baptist and other denominations took hold with the evangelical movement.
