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.

| The purpose of
this site is to file the genealogical findings on the ancestors of Herbert
Blaylock and Nellie Privette. The
site includes charts, photos, documents. However, we do have
documents, such as census records, burial records, etc. that are not
available through this website. If you need copies of these, please
let us know. If you didn't make it to
the family reunion in Bristol, TN this year, you can still see a
little bit of what it was like. Click
here to view photos. (If you have photos you will share so
we can all see, please send them my email address above and I will put
them on here.) |
