English Family Connections
this is a place to share our family history and information
"English, just like the language" is what we say when people look at us oddly and ask, "How do you spell that?" The English clan is a very large one, at least in generations past. Are your Englishes connected to mine? They might be, if:
-
Their roots begin in Virginia, by 1700.
-
They settled in Bedford and/or Franklin County, Virginia.
-
If there is ongoing debate over the maiden name of John English's wife, Mary, whom he married by 1706.
-
If the branches of your tree lead you to Stephen English, who married Dinah Haynes, we might be cousins.
-
If a more recent generation led your search to Michigan, Ohio, or Florida, we might be more closely related.

To protect the privacy of individuals who are still among the living, the family tree contained herein is password protected. If you think we have a connection, contact me and we can compare notes.
Once you enter the family tree, you'll find the sources from my research at the tail end. I've attempted to cite everything as fully as possible. Genealogy is my hobby, and though I am as much a stickler for details as the next person, family memories are often faulty. The truth is somewhere in between the memories of many people and what you read on the documents cited here.
The family tree is an ongoing project and will be updated periodically.
